NYCHA housing estates in New York City are in need of an urgent update. In our proposal, instead of restocking new housing by demolishing the current and building from ground up, existing estates should serve as scaffolds in building new communities. Existing community density and building proportions will guide the new housing density and structural composition respectively. The proposed housing attachment will revitalize the community life by creating a flexible common space in between the new and existing.
