New York Magazine architecture critic Justin Davidson on the future of affordable housing: "New York doesn't need to give up on decent architecture in its rush to social justice — in fact, the two are intertwined. We already have a huge stock of cloned apartments stacked in X-shaped towers, bought with public money then left to rot. What we need now is a flurry of interventions, varied, scattered, and flexile, uniform only in their excellence." To prove his point, he takes a look at some of the most inventive affordable housing in other countries. [NYM; previously]
