In April 1998, sixteen architecture firms were brought together to design singlefamily houses for the Fifth Ward in Houston, Texas, one of the country's lowestincome neighborhoods. Studio Works from Los Angeles, Lindy Roy from New York, Carlos Jimenez from Houston, and Stanley Saitowitz from San Francisco, among others, worked with the Fifth Ward Community Redevelopment Corporation to produce affordable housing notable not only for innovative design but also for creative production and financing techniques. An exhibition of the architects' work was shown at galleries in Houston and Austin, Texas. 16 Houses documents these proposals with striking renderings and photographs, offering a fresh perspective on the issue of affordable housing. The model of collaborative design it outlines is genuinely new and also unusually pragmatic for a highly politicized field that has traditionally been mired in bureaucracy. By bringing together architects, developers, academics, community organizations, and public agencies in a grassroots effort, 16 Houses demonstrates a way to transcend politics, providing a blueprint for a new approach that may well represent the future of lowincome housing in the United States.
