Daniel Parolek may be a superstar architect, having done work for clients such as Jon Bon Jovi and Tokyo Disneyland, but his true passion is a project that could impact all Americans: Removing barriers to deliver a broader range of housing choices in walkable communities. How? Through what Parolek calls “Missing Middle Housing,” or housing types that fall between “small” structures (detached, single-family homes) and “large” ones (high rise apartments). Join Parolek as he discusses how shifting household demographics and increasing housing costs position middle housing as a new alternative for an attainable, 21st century American Dream.
