TALKS

conference _ GLOBAL SUMMIT ON COLLECTIVE HOUSING

“GLOBAL SUMMIT ON COLLECTIVE HOUSING,” Fall 2023. This 2-day summit will convene speakers from around the world (Africa, North and South America, Asia, and Europe) who have radically rethought established norms of living, models of homeownership, and the formal, programmatic, material, and legal parameters of housing. Our ambition is to generate new knowledge that can confront the current crisis and speak to the potential of collective housing as a productive challenge for architecture. The event is supported by the Humanities Innovation Grant; the Dean’s Research Prize at the College of Architecture, Design, and the Arts; and the School of Architecture at UIC.
