Amsterdam, November 4–5, 2011
A house is a place where people and ideas gather and find shelter, a place where sociability is rehearsed and produced. Social housing, housing built on a multiple scale, is the replication of this model in towns and cities on political grounds: a spatial commitment on the part of governments to building on the basis of broad social needs and ideals. Social Housing–Housing the Social brings together contemporary artists, architects and designers working on new ideas and models for urban living with politicians, planners, activists, urban theorists and city development agencies, to investigate and challenge the ways in which housing is imagined, commissioned and implemented.
