Housing Otherwise
Practices of Care and Diversity in Vienna’s Housing Model
Housing Otherwise raises the question: how can we move towards a more just future of living together? What can an architecture of empathy, solidarity, generosity, and circularity offer to housing? In a time of multiple crises—from the climate catastrophe to growing social segregation—the world is suffering from a housing crisis. Housing is not merely a matter of shelter; it entails creating better living conditions for all, encompassing affordability, diversity in living concepts, and new forms of sharing and community.
The city of Vienna has a long history of social housing, from the settler movement and the housing blocks of Red Vienna to pioneering projects such as the One-Kitchen House. But where do we stand today? How can a feminist approach to social housing be practiced, taught, and imagined? This lecture offers historical, contemporary, and imagined housing experiments in Vienna, seeking multi-perspective and previously underrepresented concepts of cohabitation to advance spatial justice in housing.
