Staff reports university interest in Commission-supported housing design competition
Summary
City staff reported outreach to several universities and architecture organizations for a Commission-on-Aging-supported housing design competition; early interest was positive and staff expects confirmations next month.
Wright provided an update on the commission-supported housing design competition, saying staff and liaison Christine Besien had compiled contacts at regional universities and architecture organizations — UTSA, St. Mary's, Texas State, the University of Texas and Concordia among them — and begun outreach to gauge interest in participation and judging. "There is interest in, helping support this 1 for competition," he said, and staff reported some developers and architects had been enthusiastic based on earlier presentations and meetings.
Commissioners suggested engaging developers and HOA managers in new subdivisions to raise awareness and link the competition to accessible-design practices in emerging neighborhoods. Wright said he will continue outreach and expects to have more definitive participant commitments and a plan for next month's meeting.
