Are you spending more than 30% of your income on housing? Then you are considered Rent Burdened. Designing Affordability examines how architects, engineers, planners, policy makers, tenants, and homeowners are crafting innovative ways to reduce the cost of housing and increase opportunities by rethinking how we build, maintain, and occupy structures. Case study projects were presented alongside quantified visualizations of what affordability means for residents of New York City and Sydney, Australia. We designed the identity and graphics for the international exhibition at the Center for Architecture and The University of Sydney’s Tin Sheds Gallery to assess affordable housing in two of the most expensive real estate markets in the world.
