wohnlabor - gemeinsam wohnen gestalten

"What does it look like when people design living spaces together? As part of the Styrian Summer of Architecture 2018, wohnlabor organized a week long public workshop on the topic of collaborative housing. Our first publication "gemeinsam wohnen gestalten" (designing housing together) documents the results and events of this workshop. In addition, contributions by researchers and practitioners from the fields of anthropology, sociology, art and urban research give different perspectives on housing needs and living in community. 12 housing project examples from Austria, Germany and Switzerland illustrate the diversity of collective housing forms. With this book, we call on people to take the design of our living spaces into their own hands. Because together - with our different strengths - we can create places that are beautiful, social, ecological, economical, versatile and worth living in." - wohnlabor.
