TO FOUR-FLAT BUILDINGS.

10
00:00:19,733 --> 00:00:25,366
LIKEWISE ANALYSTS SAY MIDDLE

11
00:00:21,500 --> 00:00:27,766
INCOME BUYERS FACE HURDLES IN

12
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:30,033
FINDING A HOME ESPECIALLY A NEW

13
00:00:25,366 --> 00:00:31,933
CONSTRUCTION HOME.

14
00:00:27,766 --> 00:00:34,066
AS "CHICAGO TONIGHT'S" NICK BLUM

BERG REPORTS A DESIGN CHALLENGE

16
00:00:31,933 --> 00:00:37,200
AIMS TO TACKLE THOSE ISSUES WITH

17
00:00:34,066 --> 00:00:38,100
THE CONCEPT ADAPTABLE TO

18
00:00:35,566 --> 00:00:40,033
DIFFERENT USERS IN DIFFERENT

19
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:41,733
NEIGHBORHOODS.

20
00:00:38,100 --> 00:00:43,700
>> CONSIDER THE BUNGALOW.

21
00:00:40,033 --> 00:00:46,200
THE MODEST HOME WAS FOR YEARS

22
00:00:41,733 --> 00:00:47,200

MANY CHICAGO NEIGHBORHOODS.

25
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:52,800
SO THE ORGANIZERS OF THE

26
00:00:49,566 --> 00:00:53,233
DISRUPTIVE DESIGN CHALLENGE USED

27
00:00:50,766 --> 00:00:55,366
IT AS SOMETHING OF AN ORGANIZING

28
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:57,500
PRINCIPLE.

29
00:00:53,233 --> 00:00:59,166
PUTTING OUT CALLS TO ARCHITECTS

30
00:00:55,366 --> 00:01:01,033
FOR A 21ST CENTURY BUNGALOW.

31
00:00:57,500 --> 00:01:02,833
>> THE COST OF NEW CONSTRUCTION

32
00:00:59,166 --> 00:01:04,766
IS SO HIGH WE ARE NOT SEEING

33
00:01:01,033 --> 00:01:06,466
STARTER HOMES AND AFFORDABLE

34
00:01:02,833 --> 00:01:08,366
SINGLE FAMILY HOMES BEING BUILT.

35
00:01:04,766 --> 00:01:08,700
IN CHICAGO WE HAVE THOUSANDS OF

36
00:01:06,466 --> 00:01:10,200
VACANT LOTS OWNED BY THE CITY OF

37
00:01:08,366 --> 00:01:12,366
CHICAGO.

38
00:01:08,700 --> 00:01:14,666
AND IT PRESENTS AN OPPORTUNITY

39
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:16,233
TO CREATE AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND

40
00:01:12,366 --> 00:01:18,000
MAKE AN INCENTIVE FOR MIDDLE

41
00:01:14,666 --> 00:01:19,366
INCOME FAMILIES TO STAY HERE IN

42
00:01:16,233 --> 00:01:21,433
THE CHICAGO AND NOT MOVE AWAY

43
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:22,966
AND MOVE INTO THE SUBURBS.

44
00:01:19,366 --> 00:01:24,833
>> THE ORGANIZERS OF THE DESIGN

45
00:01:21,433 --> 00:01:28,566
COMPETITION REACHED OUT TO THE

48
00:01:28,566 --> 00:01:32,733
ENTRIES.

49
00:01:29,166 --> 00:01:33,033
WHITTLED DOWN TO THE WINNER,

50
00:01:30,666 --> 00:01:34,833
GREG TAMBORINO'S ADAPTABLE

51
00:01:32,733 --> 00:01:35,700
HOUSE.

52
00:01:33,033 --> 00:01:37,700
>> IT CAN ACCOMMODATE A VARIETY

53
00:01:34,833 --> 00:01:39,933
OF USES.

54
00:01:35,700 --> 00:01:40,933
SO IT MIGHT BE A SINGLE PERSON

55
00:01:37,700 --> 00:01:43,300
THAT LIVES ON ONE FLOOR AND

56
00:01:39,933 --> 00:01:45,666
RENTS THE UPSTAIRS.

57
00:01:40,933 --> 00:01:46,833
OR MIGHT BE A SMALL FAMILY THAT

58
00:01:43,300 --> 00:01:48,466
LIVES UPSTAIRS AND RENT OUT THE

59
00:01:45,666 --> 00:01:50,400
LOWER FLOOR.

60
00:01:46,833 --> 00:01:52,533
ACCOMMODATING IN TERMS OF BEING

61
00:01:48,466 --> 00:01:53,500
ABLE TO HOUSE SOMEONE THAT MIGHT

62
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:54,900
BE WHEELCHAIR BOUND OR ELDERLY

63
00:01:52,533 --> 00:01:56,266
AND AGING IN PLACE.

64
00:01:53,500 --> 00:01:57,333
>> AND THE HOUSE IS NOT JUST

65
00:01:54,900 --> 00:01:59,066
MEANT TO WORK FOR DIFFERENT

66
00:01:56,266 --> 00:02:00,633
KINDS OF OWNERS.

67
00:01:57,333 --> 00:02:04,300
IT IS ADAPTABLE TO NEIGHBORHOOD

68
00:01:59,066 --> 00:02:06,533
LEVEL NEEDS.

69
00:02:00,633 --> 00:02:10,766
TWO VACANT CITY-OWNED PLOTS ARE

70
00:02:04,300 --> 00:02:12,566
SLATED FOR SITES TO BECOME A

71
00:02:06,533 --> 00:02:13,700
REALITY IN WEST HUMBOLDT PARK

72
00:02:10,766 --> 00:02:14,966
LOCAL ALDERMAN HOPES TO BRING IN

73
00:02:12,566 --> 00:02:15,433
MIDDLE INCOME RESIDENTS THAT

74
00:02:13,700 --> 00:02:18,500
WILL ATTRACT NEW BUSINESS

75
00:02:14,966 --> 00:02:21,233
DEVELOPMENT.

76
00:02:15,433 --> 00:02:22,800
AND PAT DOWELL'S BRONZEVILLE

77
00:02:18,500 --> 00:02:25,800
IT'S MEANT TO HELP STABILIZE AN

78
00:02:21,233 --> 00:02:27,533
AREA WITH HOUSING PRICES THAT

79
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:29,900
HAVE BEEN SPIKING.

80
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:31,566
GEOFF SMITH FOR DePAUL SAYS

81
00:02:27,533 --> 00:02:33,033
IDEAS LIKE THE ADAPTABLE HOUSE

82
00:02:29,900 --> 00:02:35,166
ARE A AVAILABLE STRATEGY TO

83
00:02:31,566 --> 00:02:36,800
ATTACK PART OF CHICAGO'S

84
00:02:33,033 --> 00:02:38,266
AFFORDABLE HOUSING CRUNCH.

85
00:02:35,166 --> 00:02:40,000
>> IT IS EXCITE AND AND

86
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:42,366
INNOVATIVE COMPETITION THAT

87
00:02:38,266 --> 00:02:43,766
HOPEFULLY CAN BE REPLICATED AND

88
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:44,133
PRODUCE NEW AFFORDABLE FOR SALE

89
00:02:42,366 --> 00:02:46,266
HOUSING FOR MIDDLE INCOME

90
00:02:43,766 --> 00:02:51,566
FAMILIES.

91
00:02:44,133 --> 00:02:54,500
IT DOESN'T SOLVE THE CHALLENGE

92
00:02:46,266 --> 00:02:56,300
OF WE HAVE A LOT OF FOLKS IN THE

93
00:02:51,566 --> 00:02:57,900
NEIGHBORHOOD EARNING LESS THAN

94
00:02:54,500 --> 00:02:59,600
25,000 A YEAR STRUGGLING TO FIND

95
00:02:56,300 --> 00:03:00,066
AFFORDABLE RENTAL HOUSING AND WE

96
00:02:57,900 --> 00:03:01,700
NEED TO ADDRESS IT WITH OTHER

97
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:03,633
STRATEGIES.

98
00:03:00,066 --> 00:03:06,300
>> AND WITH MORE AND MORE HIGHER

99
00:03:01,700 --> 00:03:08,366
INCOME FAMILIES CHOOSING TO LIVE

100
00:03:03,633 --> 00:03:09,633
AND BUY IN THE CITY, SMITH SAYS

101
00:03:06,300 --> 00:03:11,600
THE SOLUTION CANNOT BE LEFT UP

102
00:03:08,366 --> 00:03:13,266
TO DEVELOPERS.

103
00:03:09,633 --> 00:03:14,400
>> IF YOU LEAVE IT UP TO

104
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:16,200
DEVELOPERS THEY WILL DEVELOP

105
00:03:13,266 --> 00:03:18,433
EXPENSIVE HOUSING BECAUSE THEY

106
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:20,700
WANT TO MAKE MONEY.

107
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:23,166
AND UNLESS THE GOVERNMENT

108
00:03:18,433 --> 00:03:28,233
PROVIDES INCENTIVE THEY WON'T.

109
00:03:20,700 --> 00:03:30,233
>> WHILE YOU MIGHT NOT GET

110
00:03:23,166 --> 00:03:32,600
JAZZED ABOUT ZONING CHANGES,

111
00:03:28,233 --> 00:03:35,433
SMITH SAYS THE VARIED PROBLEMS

112
00:03:30,233 --> 00:03:37,700
IN THE HOUSING AND RENTAL

113
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:38,033
MARKETS REQUIRE VARIED SOLUTIONS

114
00:03:35,433 --> 00:03:40,733
INCLUDING IDEAS LIKE THE DESIGN

115
00:03:37,700 --> 00:03:41,666
CONCEPT.

116
00:03:38,033 --> 00:03:42,600
>> WE THED TO THINK ABOUT

117
00:03:40,733 --> 00:03:44,100
REPOPULATING CHICAGO'S SOUTH AND

118
00:03:41,666 --> 00:03:45,733
WEST SIDE.

119
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:47,966
THIS IS NOT THE ONLY WAY BUT

120
00:03:44,100 --> 00:03:50,100
WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT

121
00:03:45,733 --> 00:03:51,833
ARCHITECTURE AND DESIGN DOING IN

122
00:03:47,966 --> 00:03:54,066
A WAY THAT IS RESPECTFUL AND

123
00:03:50,100 --> 00:03:55,833
PLEASING IN A WAY THAT FOLKS CAN

124
00:03:51,833 --> 00:03:57,766
SAY I'M PROUD TO LIVE HERE.

125
00:03:54,066 --> 00:04:01,700
WHERE NEIGHBORS ARE HAPPY TO

126
00:03:55,833 --> 00:04:03,133
LIVE NEXT TO THE COOL DESIGN

127
00:03:57,766 --> 00:04:04,800
THAT IS WHAT MATTERS.

128
00:04:01,700 --> 00:04:06,400
>> ARCHITECTS GOT FEEDBACK AND

129
00:04:03,133 --> 00:04:07,966
GREG TAMBORINO SAYS HIS PLAN IS

130
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:09,400
MEANT TO BE SUSTAINABLE AND

131
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:10,766
OFFER A CONNECTION TO THE

132
00:04:07,966 --> 00:04:13,666
OUTDOORS AND AFFORDABLE.

133
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:15,133
THROUGH AN EFFICIENT FLOOR PLAN

134
00:04:10,766 --> 00:04:17,066
AND HOPEFULLY THROUGH ECONOMY OF

135
00:04:13,666 --> 00:04:18,733
SCALE.

136
00:04:15,133 --> 00:04:20,566
>> HIGHLY REPUBLICABLE DESIGN.

137
00:04:17,066 --> 00:04:22,200
MAYBE PORTIONS THAT COULD BE

138
00:04:18,733 --> 00:04:24,300
MASS PRODUCED.

139
00:04:20,566 --> 00:04:26,466
SO BUILDING TWO HOMES TWO

140
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:29,333
STARTER HOMES WITH THE IDEA THAT

141
00:04:24,300 --> 00:04:30,033
YOU CAN BUILD THOUSANDS OF THESE

142
00:04:26,466 --> 00:04:31,766
ALL OVER CHICAGO OR IN ANY PLACE

143
00:04:29,333 --> 00:04:33,133
REALLY.

144
00:04:30,033 --> 00:04:36,133
>> THE MAJOR DEVELOPER RELATED

145
00:04:31,766 --> 00:04:37,633
MIDWEST IS COMMITTED TO BUILD

146
00:04:33,133 --> 00:04:39,633
THE FIRST TWO HOUSES ONCE

147
00:04:36,133 --> 00:04:41,600
DISRUPTIVE DESIGNS ORGANIZERS

148
00:04:37,633 --> 00:04:42,800
SECURED THE FUNDING.

149
00:04:39,633 --> 00:04:44,366
>> IT'S ONE THING TO CREATE AN

150
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:46,533
INNOVATIVE AND BEAUTIFUL DESIGN

151
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:47,900
WHICH WE HAVE AND WE ARE EXCITED

152
00:04:44,366 --> 00:04:51,766
BUT NOW WE ARE GOING THROUGH

153
00:04:46,533 --> 00:04:52,600
EVERY SINGLE COST IN OUR BUDGET

154
00:04:47,900 --> 00:04:53,166
AND FIGURING OUT HOW WE CAN GET

155
00:04:51,766 --> 00:04:54,633
THIS BUILT.

156
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:56,000
WE'RE CLOSE.

157
00:04:53,166 --> 00:04:58,066
>> THE PLAN IS TO BREAK GROUND

158
00:04:54,633 --> 00:04:58,733
WITHIN THE NEXT YEAR.
