conference _ GLOBAL SUMMIT ON COLLECTIVE HOUSING

“At Home with the Collective: A Summit on Communal Housing,” convenes at UIC Architecture, Chicago, Thursday, October 19 – Friday, October 20, 2023. This 2-day summit will gather speakers from around the world, local stakeholders and activists, as well as city officials 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 summit is free and open to the public, but space is limited. Please register here.
