‘Yes in God’s Backyard’ movement could create more affordable housing

dbarista Mon, 06/24/2024 - 11:12

The so-called “Yes in God’s Backyard” (YIGBY) movement, where houses of worship convert their properties to housing, could help alleviate the serious housing crisis affecting many communities around the country.

Churches converting their property to residential use can have real impact on housing crisis

Designers / Specifiers / Landscape Architects

Reconstruction & Renovation

Jurisdictions including San Diego, Washington state, Atlanta, San Antonio, Hawaii and New York have either passed laws streamlining approval for new projects on land owned by churches or are considering them. In March, Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) introduced the Yes in God’s Backyard Act in Congress to support these projects nationwide.

With church membership and donations declining, churches, mosques, and temples are closing, leaving buildings and properties unused. Converting them for affordable housing is seen as a way to further a religious organization’s mission.

Up to one-third of all houses of worship in the United States could close in the next few years, or about 100,000 churches, synagogues, and mosques. One estimate is that more than 47,000 acres of land owned by faith-based organizations across the U.S. could potentially be developed into affordable housing.

Now 47 years running, Building Design+Construction's 2023 Giants 400 Report ranks the largest architecture, engineering, and construction firms in the U.S. This year a record 552 AEC firms participated in BD+C's Giants 400 report. The final report includes 137 rankings across 25 building sectors and specialty categories.

The complete findings for the individual categories are presented below. Note: The building sector categories and specialty rankings will be posted periodically throughout August and September.

Data for our Giants 400 charts is based on information supplied by the respective firms. Firms are asked to verify the accuracy of their data. The Construction section includes two types of statistics. The Contractors chart reflects revenues for general contracting, design-build, CM at risk, and IPD—projects where all revenues flow through the contractor.

The CM Agent + PM chart lists firms that derive their revenues through fees. In the subsequent market-specific sections (Healthcare, Data Centers, etc.) data labeled “Construction” includes all delivery methods combined (GC, DB, CM at risk, IPD, CM agent, PM).

Essential housing: What’s in a name?

qpurcell Mon, 08/21/2023 - 15:53

Affordable Housing

For many in our communities, rising rents and increased demand for housing means they are only one paycheck away from being unhoused. It’s time to stop thinking of affordable housing as a handout and start calling it what it is: Essential Housing.

Jon Hall, Principal, GGLO

Encouraging innovation and speed in essential housing permitting and jurisdictional processes, while still maintaining public health and safety, is imperative.

Recently, while commuting past a tent community on my way to work, I was reminded that a medium- to large-sized city in the U.S. today without a homelessness problem is a rarity. In my home city of Seattle, for example, we need tens of thousands of new affordable units per year to keep up with population growth, which city officials expect to hit one million people by 2044.

As an architect who has focused on designing affordable housing developments in Seattle, Los Angeles, and Boise for more than 25 years, I know firsthand achieving these projects is complicated and requires the combined resources of developers, contractors, architects, engineers, and judicial plan reviewers, as well as a range of public and private funding sources. It also takes a huge amount of collective will.

In the face of this challenge, there is one simple but extremely powerful way to address the “problem” of affordable housing. We can change the language we use to describe housing and actively shift it to be more inclusive. The descriptor “essential housing” allows for that framework. While “affordable housing” often conjures associations with government handouts and helping those who cannot, for whatever reason, help themselves, the reality is there are huge swaths of our population for whom housing costs are prohibitive. They are our teachers, baristas, firefighters, nurses, and many other essential workers. For many in our communities, rising rents and increased demand for housing means they are only one paycheck away from being unhoused.

It’s time to stop thinking of affordable housing as a handout which is someone else’s problem to solve and start calling it what it is: Essential Housing, a crucial component of a thriving local community.

Essential housing is a collective endeavor

When we reframe housing as something essential to communities, many more possible solutions come to light. There are numerous connections between stable housing and other elements of community life such as wellness, faith, and public safety, and looking at housing through these lenses reveals new opportunities to tackle the issue.

Framing Essential Housing through the lens of healthcare reveals the link between stable housing and healthy community members. Anyone living unhoused, or in substandard living conditions, is at a greater risk for negative health impacts, and many mental health issues can only be solved after obtaining permanent housing. Understanding housing as essential to a healthy community means there are opportunities to direct medical investments toward the endemic housing shortage. At GGLO, our design for Providence Joseph House in south Seattle is a successful example of how healthcare companies—in this case, Washington-based Providence Health & Services—can direct resources towards bolstering the housing supply.

Looking at Essential Housing through a faith-based framework, we see the connection between stable housing and the necessary support services often offered by religious or mission-based entities. There are many examples of churches, synagogues, and temples using their available space to build much needed housing developments, including GGLO’s recently completed Cocoon House. This development provides 40 units of housing alongside support services for at-risk youth in Snohomish County, Wash., on the site of a former church.

Understanding housing as an essential aspect of ensuring public safety asks us to treat the issue with more urgency. We hear proclamations of local, regional, and statewide housing emergencies year after year, yet we see the challenge continue to grow with little resistance. If we can act with a similar haste to public health emergencies like the COVID-19 pandemic, or to a flood, fire, or earthquake, we can make a meaningful impact.

Design solutions

Although the housing challenge is massive and impacts all aspects of community life, there is not a one-size-fits-all approach to solving it. The strategies must be as varied as the stories of those facing a lack of housing. It is truly not possible to create enough housing through traditional means; reframing the issue as essential can help drive a new sense of urgency and an all-hands approach to developing new solutions.

We are seeing great strides in modular and manufactured housing to speed up the production of this essential resource. Whether a full living unit, or a kit of parts that can be componentized and rapidly assembled, these strategies can rapidly create new shelter. Individual Tiny Homes provides rapid shelter, and multi-story buildings built from factory components can provide permanent stable homes on an expedited timeline.

Rezoning and densifying land for housing is rapidly occurring in cities like Seattle, Boise, and beyond. Former malls and retail centers are being adapted to housing, including Seattle’s Northgate Mall and Lynnwood’s Alderwood Mall, which GGLO is working to convert to transit-oriented redevelopments by creating new housing to complement existing retail infrastructure.

Converting existing vacant office buildings into residential is also seeing an increased opportunity, as evidenced by GGLO’s current Alloy at Midtown project in Phoenix, Ariz. This development takes advantage of the existing infrastructure to create housing at greater speed than new construction. We must match increasingly vacant office space to the huge housing needs across our communities.

Always, we must remember the importance of an inclusive and community-centered process where integrated teams of designers, builders, operators, and users come together to plan buildings that address the unique needs of the communities where they are situated. Essential Housing requires new advocacy and creativity around the design and development process. Encouraging innovation and speed in permitting and jurisdictional processes, while still maintaining public health and safety, is imperative.

While much of this can feel overwhelming, it is possible if we come together as communities to address these pressing housing challenges. Changing the narrative to reframe housing as essential is a first step. Through the power of language, we can tap into our collective willpower and, hopefully, pool our energy and resources to build a better future.

3D Printing

The 3D-printed temple is set to embark on an architectural revolution in the Nation.

Apsuja Infratech and Simpliforge Creations collaborate to build this one-of-its-kind architectural innovation positioning India as a global pioneer in 3D-printed architecture.

3D Printing

Apsuja Infratech, a Hyderabad-based leading construction company has joined forces with Simpliforge Creations, an innovative 3D construction printing company, to create the world's first 3D-printed place of worship. The 3D-printed temple is set to embark on an architectural revolution in the Nation.

Situated within Charvitha Meadows, at Burugupally, Siddipet, Telangana, the 3D-printed temple serves as a testament to the harmonious integration of technology and nature with sustainability. With this achievement, Apsuja Infratech and Simpliforge Creations have positioned India as a global pioneer in 3D-printed architecture.

World's first 3D-printed place of worship

The three-part structure marvel, a Hindu temple, sprawling over 3,800 sf, standing tall at about 30 feet is a unique architectural wonder, a one-of-its-kind innovation being built in India. The three sanctums, or Garbhas within the structure represent a 'Modak' (a fig shaped delicacy) dedicated to Lord Ganesha, a Shivalay, a square abode devoted to Lord Shankar, and a Lotus shaped home for Goddess Parvati. The Structure is 3D-printed by Simpliforge with their in-house developed system and indigenously developed material and software. This by far is the first 3D-printed structure globally as a place of worship at this massive scale.

This landmark achievement not only showcases the immense potential of 3D-printed construction but also demonstrates the architectural freedom and capabilities of the robotic arm system developed by the Simpliforge team. “Completely printed on-site, the temple's striking dome-shaped structures including the Modak and the Lotus, presented formidable challenges that required the team to employ bespoke design techniques, meticulous analysis, and innovative construction methods, all the while following the principles of Temple architecture resulting in this awe-inspiring architectural marvel,” said Mr. Hari Krishna Jeedipalli, MD, Apsuja Infratech.

“With the Shivalay and the Modak construction completed, phase II comprising of the Lotus and the tall spires (Gopurams) are already underway,” added Mr. Hari.

Simpliforge Creations, a leading turnkey solutions provider in 3D-printed construction, has hailed this project as a testament to the possibilities within the industry. “This structure demonstrates Simpliforge’s ability to print 51 degrees and 32 degrees in outward and inward cantilever, respectively, especially while printing in-situ catering to the architectural/aesthetic requirements. This construction takes care of the structural requirements, principles of temple design, 3D printing requirements, while dealing with the challenges of in-situ construction.

This proof of concept also sets the stage for future applications of Simpliforge's robust systems in inaccessible areas like frontiers, high altitude areas, deserts and snowy regions with applications in challenging terrain, disaster hit areas and defence applications,” said Mr. Dhruv Gandhi, CEO, Simpliforge Creations. “The enclosed dome shaped structures eliminating the need for flat slab roofs paves the way for extra-terrestrial applications which is Simpliforge’s grander vision.”

The world's first 3D-printed place of worship stands as an awe-inspiring testament to the harmonious union of human creativity, technological prowess, and architectural finesse. Having also delivered India’s first 3D-printed bridge prototype at Charvitha Meadows previously, the 3D-printed temple now adds a Global First to the crown of feats at this project.
