Globally over one billion people lack adequate housing. Meeting their housing needs requires innovative solutions that are affordable, inclusive, sustainable and scalable. We will critically review the causes and consequences of the current housing crisis and the various strategies through which a wide range of actors at local, national and international level are addressing the housing question.
With the aim of understanding the role of architecture in responding to the constantly changing housing needs and demands we will visit and analyze a selected number of housing projects that are innovative from a social, institutional and architectural perspective.
This course offers an introduction to a wide range of research methods currently used in housing and neighbourhood studies. Students will be invited to reflect on the value of using different tools to inform evidence-based design processes and to provide rigorous answers to research question by covering all the steps of the research cycle.
The course is intended to support the students to develop their individual research proposals and to attain the necessary skills to work independently and with scientific rigour on a project leading to their final MAS thesis.
Writing an Annotated Bibliography and a Comprehensive Literature Review
The seminar week will provide an opportunity to visit a country of the Global South, learn about its national housing strategy, visit projects, and meet with related communities and stakeholders. Additionally, the seminar week offers its participants to reflect upon contextually appropriate housing solutions for the country in question.
The cities in the global south, especially those in Asia & Africa experience a phenomenon known as circular migration, meaning that migrants arriving from the countryside often return back seasonally maintaining a circular relationship with the city. Although prevalent, this phenomenon is hardly taken into consideration in city planning leading to a rise of precariously built housing settlements.
