ASSEMBLY #5: Better Living as Transformation
UAH! GOES BIENNALE: Talking about Unconventional Affordable Housing
The exhibition repeatedly raises the question of existing buildings. How can former administrative and office buildings work as spaces for unusual living concepts? How can existing residential buildings be adapted for new ways of living, working, and loving? What can we do with derelict sites and dilapidated buildings? And could existing buildings be a decisive resource in the realization of a BETTER LIVING for all? The pavilion hosts a research team from Italy together with a network of design studios from European universities. UAH! – Unconventional Affordable Housing – explores new possibilities for contemporary housing and living at the interface between affordability and unconventionality. Starting from a reflection on existing housing practices, policies, and projects, the project experiments with transformative reuse in three Italian contexts – Bari, Milan, and Trieste –, methodically carried out as “research by design.” The projects, research, and research questions are critically discussed in six ASSEMBLIES.
