My career is in city planning and everyday I see so many cool old buildings that are dilapidated or in disrepair. It's so incredibly sick when things like old tobacco barns, mills, etc. get renovated into libraries, food halls, housing, or offices. More developers & landowners should do this

as ur local architect i could give 100 answers to this ask. but here is a social housing project i really love.
the most sustainable building is one that already exists, building anything new is inherently bad for the environment (buildings make up 40% of global emissions!).
rather than propose an entirely new building for this public housing project, lacaton & vassal proposed essentially renovating the existing and extending the building outward in the front by adding a layer of these kinda indoor/outdoor living spaces. i love this as a low cost solution that not only raises the economic value of these apartments but also is an incredibly valuable space for the well being of the tenants.

Like this former ice house/band practice space/storage unit/ no idea there was so much random stuff ... It has had many lives and will have many more. Grand Rapids is more interesting than it appears. Placemaking. Exhibition. Activation. Art and community and connection. Here we go.
