SCA [FOLD] Winning Submission
Official Contest Site

What If NYC was a 2008 competition seeking innovative ideas for providing Provisional Housing for residents who may lose their homes as the result of a catastrophic coastal storm.

Because of the city’s high population density and the desire to resettle as many residents as possible in their former neighbourhoods, a new paradigm is sought to supplement existing temporary housing programs. Such existing programs typically rely on the deployment of single-household manufactured homes or trailers. The winning proposals provided living spaces at a density level significantly higher than what is now conventionally provided in temporary structures.

25:8 Reaserch + Design’s SCA [FOLD] design was one of 10 winning submissions.
