DomestiCITY: A Pop-Up Exhibition

DomestiCITY [an affordable atlanta] was a two-phase design competition exploring best practices and innovative strategies for the planning, design, construction, and operation of affordable and sustainable developments in our city. The design competition invited designers to propose redevelopment strategies for Santa Fe Villas: a 4-acre, 147-unit transitional housing development along a low-density commercial corridor in south Atlanta, improving access to affordable housing through strategic densification, social revitalization, and mixed-use new construction. Eighty-nine participants from more than 15 countries participated in this competition organized by the City of Atlanta Department of City Planning, Enterprise, and Assist Community Design Center. 

The designs of the two finalists, Utile Inc. from Boston, MA and Lord Aeck Sargent from Atlanta, GA were on view in the MODA lobby for a limited time.
