Overview

New frontiers in housing design from the acclaimed New York architectural firm. In this volume, Brooklyn-based architectural office SO-IL presents its ideas on housing through 13 models built and unbuilt, including projects that serve marginalised communities in locations such as North Omaha, Nebraska, and Syracuse, New York. Three of the projects introduced are urban housing models designed for Brooklyn, created for the specific purpose of strengthening social ties. Cores, Courts & Corridors also includes texts by Ted Baab and Karilyn Johanesen, who address contradictory codes and requirements governing housing design in New York, as well as two photo essays by Iwan Baan and Naho Kubota. This book is not a conventional monograph, manifesto or grand theoretical text, but rather an open-ended exploration of how housing might better promote the well-being of inhabitants, local economies and the environment. SO-IL was founded in 2008 by the Dutch architect Florian Idenburg (born 1975) and Chinese architect Jing Liu (born 1980). The team has been featured in publications such as the New York Times and CNN and is showcased in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art, the Guggenheim and the Art Institute of Chicago. SO-IL has received numerous accolades, including the Vilcek Award, the Curbed Groundbreakers Award and the MoMA PS1 Young Architects Program Award.
