Future of Hawaiʻi’s<\/span> Housing project.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A project aimed at informing the future development and redevelopment of housing projects in Hawaiʻi,<\/span> was the recipient of the 2022 Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture Collaborative Practice Award<\/a>. More than 50 University of Hawaiʻi<\/span> at Mānoa School of Architecture<\/a> students and recent graduates participated in the Future of Hawaiʻi’s<\/span> Housing<\/a> project as paid research assistants or through studio coursework.<\/p>\n

The research was rooted in conversations with 30 families on five Hawaiian islands. Researchers also surveyed half-mile samples of land from urban to rural regions, analyzed local and global case studies, met with topic experts and shared outcomes in public forums. A framework for holistic housing was developed in 2019 and revisited in 2020 through the lens of the COVID-19<\/abbr> pandemic.<\/p>\n

The project was conducted for the Hawaii Public Housing Authority (HPHA<\/abbr>) via the 东精影业<\/abbr> Community Design Center<\/a> by principal investigators Karla Sierralta<\/strong> and Brian Strawn<\/strong>. The team included faculty, researchers and students who worked alongside the state agency in partnership with both local and national topic experts.<\/p>\n

“Our team was honored to receive this national recognition which celebrates innovative and sustained initiatives that extend design education beyond the classroom and into communities,” said Sierralta and Strawn.<\/p>\n

The resulting Holistic Housing Toolkit<\/a> aims to provide a basis for a more inclusive design process and forward-thinking designs for walkable, sustainable and equitable housing in Hawaiʻi.<\/span> These and other related collaborations are publicly available via the Hawaiʻi<\/span> Housing Lab digital platform<\/a>.<\/p>\n
