Monterey County, located on the central California coast, is facing a housing crisis. Real estate and construction costs are greatly outpacing incomes at all levels, making housing in the county difficult or impossible to attain. AIA Architects have been asked by the area's US Congressional Representative and governmental leaders to respond to this challenge with visionary and viable solutions.

The American Institute of Architects, Monterey Bay Chapter (AIAMB), in collaboration with AIA California Council, AIA National, and with local, regional, state, and federal governmental support, is hosting an international competition, "Concepts," to create housing solutions to benefit and sustain Monterey County communities.

Competition program phases:
The competition is open to architects, design professionals, urban planners, students, and others interested in housing, conservation, and development issues. It is web-based. William Liskamm, Fellow of the American Institute of Architects, is director of the project, bringing a high level of knowledge and experience gained from his administration of more than 40 successful competitions of this kind throughout the United States.

During Phase One, competitors will choose from among several categories of identified need and will prepare a graphic representation of a proposed solution. These could include increasing mixed uses, special treatment of infill areas, housing for agricultural workers as well as housing for the workforce of resort areas and the tourist/hospitality industry.

Innovations in transportation and water reclamation are sought, as well as visionary ideas for redevelopment, preservation and unification of historic sites and buildings with residences as well as private enterprises; new growth areas, new construction, and prototype housing designs for middle-income as well as lower-income homes.
Contestants will have the opportunity to study relevant data about the environment and population and background information about Monterey County on CONCEPTS' web site, as well as recommendations for categories or types of housing sought. General Plan information and photographic images are found on Monterey County's web site.

The public will have the opportunity to view all of the entries in a special exhibit, and will be able to examine and comment on each submission. The jury, comprised of professional and local representatives, will select finalists to proceed to Phase Two.
In Phase Two, top winners will be provided with commissions to develop their concepts in detail, showing how they could be implemented on actual Monterey County sites.

In Phase Three, the fully developed designs will be presented in an another exhibit before the public, local governments and developers so that they may choose projects to be developed on real sites.

Monterey County and the cities have identified housing and environmental problems and urge the community to look for solutions. CONCEPTS project will provide the highest caliber visionary and practical ideas and designs — solutions — that the community can study. Not only will CONCEPTS provide ideas, but it will encourage the public to choose to do something about the housing problems which have concerned the community for so long.
