The Complete Edition

How do we create affordable housing today? Who are today s new clients? What new answers can be found to the
age-old housing questions? Housing constitutes the rooms, neighborhoods and streets of our daily lives, but a growing
number of people are fi nding it increasingly diffi cult to access affordable housing on their own terms. Increasingly
reduced to a real estate problem, housing issues have been dissociated from architecture, and a notable absence of
alternative social actors is painfully apparent. Part of the HKW project Wohnungsfrage (The Housing Question), this
investigates the fraught relationship between housing, architecture, and social reality, extending and documenting the
exhibition of 1:1 experimental housing models, case studies and artistic works.



Consisting of 11 books examining options for self-determined, social and affordable housing, the series presents
key historical works with new commentaries, contemporary case studies from around the world, and proposals by
an international group of participating activists, architects and artists concerned with urban policy issues.
