R A D I C A L H O U S I N G ?!
Hosted by Christina Schraml (content and curatorial concept)
with support by Brigitte Felderer (co-thinking) and Martin Färber (design)
01.06. - 04.6.2016
Vienna is booming. Within the past 15 years, the city has experienced a rapid population influx and demographers agree that by 2030 the two-million-inhabitant mark will be cracked. However, the growing demand for residential space is being met by an increasingly short supply. Even though Vienna is often referred to as a paradise on earth due to its strong social housing policy, in recent years the pressure on the housing market has dramatically increased. In search for alternative solutions to the current housing dilemma, more and more citizens take the situation into their own hands.
The focus week on Radical Housing?! explores alternative approaches to housing developed bottom-up and along the lines of self-empowerment, affordability and solidarity. For this purpose, a living room installation will be set up at the shopping mall Wien Mitte for an entire week. The stand seeks to promote the importance and value of the right to (affordable) housing. It will feature various key activists and and case studies in the (alternative) housing debate, students of the Social Design studio, and anyone who would like to exchange experiences and discuss the notion of ?Radical Housing?!?.
