Urbanarium launches Decoding Density, an ideas competition that will shape future housing codes. Open to all, international contest addresses two of the most existential problems today: climate change and housing affordability.
Urbanarium announces Decoding Density, the third installment of Canada’s largest affordable housing competition series, with prizes totalling $44,000.
The competition highlights and challenges current building codes in order to explore apartment designs that emphasize outdoor space, communal-oriented features, and low-energy approaches to comfort and livability.
«This is a unique chance for residents to help shape the very neighborhoods in which they Live», - says Amy Nugent, executive director of Urbanarium, a charitable organization dedicated to engaging Metro Vancouver residents in urban planning.
«Our ideas contests make real-world impacts — the Missing Middle and the Mixing Middle Competitions helped inform new legislation that requires local governments to update zoning bylaws allowing small-scale, multi-unit housing. Decoding Density is seeking to innovate building codes at a time when BC has just announced that they are reviewing building codes in order to make more homes for people faster».
Decoding Density asks participants to consider six-storey plus wood-frame structures. The form has many benefits: simple, low-carbon construction, less excavation for underground parking, better contextual fit in low density neighbourhoods, and less shadowing than condominium towers. However, there are many building code restrictions that make it challenging to construct buildings that reflect the needs of individuals and families today. For example, cross-ventilation and access to sunlight are difficult to achieve within standard building footprints. Competition entrants are challenged to propose creative, liveable, and sociable housing forms, while highlighting the existing policies that are stopping their development.
«We would like for the public to appreciate that the apartment buildings that are going to start appearing in their neighbourhoods don’t need to be simple boxes that fail to optimize the value of their site but rather benefit from and contribute to their communities», - says Marta Farevaag, competition co-chair.
Decoding Density is expected to attract submissions from students, young professionals, firms, and multidisciplinary teams from around the world.
