Affordable housing remains one of the most challenging sectors in architectural design and a critical societal need across the United States. However, the design of place-based, dignified, affordable housing in walkable neighborhoods is in short supply. Public agencies, policymakers, institutions, developers, architects, and planners are making strides in addressing this deficiency.

Union - recipient of the 2023 ICAA Gindroz Award for Excellence in Affordable Housing – invests the same attention and care to the design of affordable housing as with all projects within their diverse practice. This session of the Case Studies series explores this work. The program begins with an overview of the context surrounding affordable housing, followed by a presentation of Union’s work in this field.

The Housing Authority of the City of Santa Barbara (HACSB), recipient of the 2022 ICAA Gindroz Award for Excellence in Affordable Housing, is a public agency that has a long track record of providing safe and quality affordable housing and supportive services to eligible persons with limited incomes while also being a catalyst for thoughtful design.

The case studies examined in this two-part course include three projects built and operated by the HACSB and designed by the Cearnal Collective. The program begins with a series of presentations on the context both in Santa Barbara and nationally, followed by individual case studies of three affordable housing projects.

In the second part of this two-part lecture, architectural historian Calder Loth continues his overview of the ancient Greek architectural language and how it has inspired buildings and details in both Europe and the Americas from the 18th to the 21st centuries. Greek classicism is yet a potent design resource and can enrich today's classical and traditional architecture.

Calder Loth is the retired senior architectural historian of the Virginia Department of Historic Resources. He serves on the ICAA Council of Advisors and was the recipient of the 2010 ICAA Board of Directors Honor Award.

From January 21st - 28th, 2024, the ICAA hosted a travel program, "Architectural Treasures of Cuba," arranged by Classical Excursions, that brought participants to architecturally rich cities, towns, and neighborhoods, where everything from traditional colonial structures, to grand neoclassical structures, to dazzling art deco masterpieces were on display, accompanied by private dinners, exclusive music and dance performances, and visits with artists, museum curators, and more. Architect Rodrigo Bollat Montenegro, principal at Rodrigo Bollat Montenegro Architecture & Design and a former winner of the Award for Emerging Excellence in the Classical Tradition, was among the participants, and in this new article he chronicles the unique experience.
