PAST > March 2011: Jonathan Kirschenfeld

Single Room Occupancy: New Typologies, is an exhibition by architect Jonathan Kirschenfeld, principal of Jonathan Kirschenfeld Architects showcasing five innovative solutions to homeless housing projects in various New York City neighborhoods. It provides a platform for fresh thinking around housing prototypes and successful strategies for creating sustainable living environments for at-risk individuals. On an urban scale, all five buildings address the physical particularity of their lots by strengthening the street-wall, figuring common courts and gardens, and providing options for privacy and social interaction for their residents.
