"Design & Impact: 9 Ways to Make Housing for People"
Developed and proven over four decades of multifamily housing design, David Baker Architects' “9 Ways” are design principles that provide a thoughtful framework for making better housing. Flexible and human-centric, these community-oriented strategies work together to elevate a building, improve wellness and stability, and support social bonds. With extensive examples from the firm’s housing portfolio, Principal Brett Randall Jones, AIA will illustrate these accessible and straightforward strategies, which range from the large-scale “Reweave the Urban Fabric” to the intimate “Get Personal.” These strategies address opportunities available to housing at all scales and across all regions, and result in buildings that increase the quality of living for residents and neighbors alike.
10am-11:00am
Session 7 - Balancing Trauma-Informed Design, Long-Term Durability, and Target Value Design in PSH
Oxford 1
Sponsored by IMAGINiT
1 AIA LU|HSW
The demand for Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) continues to increase throughout Oregon, resulting in new developments and conversions of existing properties. While designing through a trauma-informed lens is a top focus for design teams, minimizing deficiencies and long-term durability and working with a client's budget are also of the utmost concern. This session will address design choices that create durable and budget-friendly PSH properties while considering the lived experience of residents. Focusing on two ongoing projects, Cleveland Commons, a new PSH development in Bend, and Bridges on Broadway, a Project Turnkey and adaptive reuse of a former Red Lion hotel to PSH in Eugene. Presented by Briana Manfrass of Pinnacle Architecture and Gary North of R&H Construction
Session 8 - Housing production innovations to increase impact on our Housing Crisis
Oxford 2
Sponsored by James Hardie
1 AIA LU|Elective
Prefabricated, factory-built housing’s time has finally come. The ‘early adopters’ for the last decade have taken risks, innovated, experimented, tested, failed, and sometimes succeeded. Thanks to them we have learned a lot, and are now in a more advanced implementation phase. Success in addressing our housing crisis starts with architects, starts with design innovation, and I encourage architects to familiarize themselves with the possibilities, many that will be discussed and explained in this session. Our on-going housing crisis and our governor’s ambitious goals for 36,000 units/year will not be solved with the existing production methodology. Architects can lead housing innovation.
Presented by Stuart Emmons, AIA of Emmons Design
Session 9 - Path House, a volumetric mass timber solution for our housing crisis

Integrating the myriad benefits of mass timber, including environmental benefits and constructability, together with a patented Smart Cassette system - the Path House vision is to dramatically lower the cost of housing in North America. Our country is over 4 million housing units short today and the number is growing daily. We need to, finally, apply the benefits of industrialized manufacturing to our housing challenge, otherwise the chasm will continue to grow.
Presented by Benjamin Kaiser of LSW Architects

Canopy - Architecture for People and Place: Active advocacy in affordable housing
In Chicago there is a growing sense of urgency in addressing the ever-present shortage of good affordable housing options throughout the city. Our firm Canopy works at the junction between policy making and advocacy through the design of environmentally- and socially-equitable housing. Through key project case studies this presentation will provide current examples of how a "people and place" centered approach to architecture is transcending the ways in which we can address issues of safety, belonging, and the environment through projects like Oso Apartments, UNAH, Encuentro and others.
