SUMMARY:STUDIO TALK: NYCHA Chronicles | Prof. Richard Plunz
DESCRIPTION:We are honored to welcome Richard Plunz for a special lecture i
 n the B Arch Advanced Studio\, “Equitable Futures: Design Scenarios for 
 NYCHA’s Fulton &amp\; Elliott–Chelsea Houses”.\n\nPlunz’s decades-
 long scholarship on New York’s housing history and the political economy
  of urban form offers a critical lens on the contemporary housing crisis
 —and on the evolving role of New York City Housing Authority within it. 
 From the origins of public housing as social infrastructure to its current
  entanglement with redevelopment logics\, privatization pressures\, and cl
 imate vulnerability\, this conversation situates NYCHA within broader hist
 orical and territorial transformations shaping New York City today.\n\nAnc
 hored between the High Line\, the Hudson River\, and the Meatpacking Distr
 ict\, our studio examines the Fulton and Elliott–Chelsea Houses as a con
 tested urban terrain—where public housing stands at the intersection of 
 art\, capital\, infrastructure\, and displacement. Through research-driven
  analysis and speculative design\, students construct a counter-archive: p
 roposals that expand affordability\, strengthen resident agency\, and refr
 ame public housing as civic infrastructure embedded in networks of mobilit
 y\, culture\, and open space.\n\nPlunz’s lecture deepens this inquiry\, 
 foregrounding the structural forces—historic and ongoing—that define t
 he housing crisis\, while challenging us to imagine enduring and equitable
  urban futures.\n\nRichard Plunz is emeritus professor of architecture\, p
 lanning\, and preservation at Columbia University. His study\, A History o
 f Housing in New York City\, remains an important resource in the field.
