Architectural Design V-IX: Right To Housing (A.Brandlhuber)
Last Updated: 2026-06-01 11:30:28
Abstract
In times where our homes have become the toys ofinternational real estate speculators, where profitis seen as the only value a building can bring andwhere the realisation of virtual potential shapes oureveryday lives - we have to become active to fight theongoing commodification of our own apartments andneighborhoods. If we don‘t act now we are risking a futurewhere housing becomes.
Objective
Students will work individually on their project becoming experts to the national context and one case study they investigate. Beyond traditional architectural production, the studio delves into theoretical considerations as well as the agency of architects. It treats design as a medium of knowledge transfer on architecture beyond the built. Instead of becoming powerless in view of the polycrises we are facing, it claims that architects must become active, challenging and shaping the political framework they are practising in. In addition to the individual building, the studio will require students to think in systems and on the interrelation of legal context to the materialized result.
