Wettbewerbsaufgabe
Vancouver liegt an der Westküste Kanadas und ist die bevölkerungsreichste Stadt in British Columbia. Sie erscheint regelmäßig auf den Listen der besten Städte der Welt in Bezug auf Lebensqualität und Lebensstandard und war laut Economist Intelligence Unit die erste Stadt, die zehn Jahre in Folge unter den Top Ten rangierte. Dies hat Vancouver jedoch auch zu einer der teuersten Städte der Welt gemacht, die zusammen mit Städten wie London, Hongkong und San Francisco oft als eine der am wenigsten erschwinglichen Städte der Welt genannt wird.
Die jüngsten Auswirkungen der COVID-19-Pandemie werden die Situation nur noch verschlimmern, da die Bank of Canada vor kurzem die Zinssätze drastisch gesenkt hat, was die Kanadier ermutigt, nicht mehr zu sparen, sondern zu kaufen. Dies hat die Hauspreise noch weiter in die Höhe getrieben, da die Nachfrage das Angebot bei weitem übersteigt.
Vancouver hat mit unglaublich strengen Bebauungsvorschriften zu kämpfen, die in den meisten Stadtvierteln fast jede Art von Wohnung illegal machen, außer Einfamilienhäuser. Das Verbot von Wohnungen und Reihenhäusern sowie ausufernde Gebühren, bürokratische Verzögerungen und Planungsgenehmigungsverfahren, die die unterversorgten Bewohner unterbewerten, haben zu einem erschöpften Wohnungsbestand geführt, der die Nachfrage von Käufern und Mietern nicht decken kann.
Die Vancouver Affordable Housing Challenge fordert die Teilnehmer auf, eine Lösung für die aktuelle Wohnungskrise der Stadt zu entwerfen. Sie sind aufgefordert, Entwürfe in Betracht zu ziehen, die sowohl flexibel als auch in der Lage sind, unterschiedliche Wohnungsgrößen zu beherbergen, darunter Familien, alleinstehende Berufstätige und Paare.
Es gibt keine Vorgaben für Standort, Größe oder Höhe, so dass die Teilnehmer aufgefordert sind, bei ihren Entwürfen so kreativ wie möglich zu sein. Die Jury wird nach Projekten Ausschau halten, die typische Vorstellungen von Wohnraum, Design und der Gemeinschaft im Allgemeinen in Frage stellen und gleichzeitig ein praktisches Element aufweisen, mit dem sich diese Entwürfe möglicherweise realisieren lassen.
Competition assignment
Vancouver is located on the west coast of Canada and is the most populated city in British Columbia. It regularly appears on lists of the best cities in the world for liveability and quality of life, and was the first city ranked in the top ten for ten consecutive years according to the Economist Intelligence Unit. However, this has also made Vancouver one of the most expensive cities in the world, often appearing along the likes of London, Hong Kong, and San Francisco as one of the least-affordable cities on Earth.
The recent impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is only set to make things worse, as the Bank of Canada recently cut interest rates dramatically, encouraging Canadians to stop saving and start buying. This has pushed house prices even further up, as demand far outpaces supply.
Vancouver struggles with incredibly strict zoning laws that make almost every type of housing illegal in most city neighbourhoods, other than single-family detached homes. No apartments or townhomes alongside escalating fees, red tape delays, and planning approval processes that undervalue the underhoused have resulted in a depleted housing stock that cannot match buyer and renter demand.
The Vancouver Affordable Housing Challenge is tasking participants with designing a solution to the city’s current housing crisis. They are encouraged to consider designs that are both flexible and capable of accommodating different unit sizes including families, single professionals, and couples.
There is no set competition site, size or height requirements, and so participants are encouraged to be as creative as possible in the solutions they design. The jury will be looking for projects that challenge typical ideas of housing, design, and the community at large, while at the same time maintaining a practical element that could potentially see these designs realised.
