Future Living

Housing is a basic need that, for many all over the world, remains unmet or inadequate. In order to ensure the availability of quality living space for everyone, architecture and urban development can contribute significantly to finding new solutions. The challenge of affordable housing lies in achieving an optimum relationship between costs and the “home quality“ value, which is dependent on many local parameters and cultural preferences.

The symposium ”Zukunft Wohnen” (Future Living) asks for spatial and strategic parameters for creating affordable living spaces. With Arno Brandlhuber, Hans Drexler, Ralf Pasing, Christian Schöningh, Joachim Schultz-Granberg.

Using exemplary projects from international architects like Gaupenraub +/-, Lacaton & Vassal or Urbanus, the book Affordable Living (edited by Klaus Dömer, Hans Drexler. Joachim Schultz-Granberg) shows the problems, potentials, and dependencies that different approaches bring with them and how these impact our reality of living.
