N/A

In the 20^th century strong traditions of collective housing developed in Germany, France, Austria and Slovenia, each within the specific socio-economic and political circumstances of its respective country. Today many housing estates from this period are facing degradation and neglect. Moreover, in all the countries listed above, housing is becoming a privilege rather than a basic human right. This situation gives rise to questions such as: How to think about collective housing and living today? How to link the past and present experience? and How to develop new models, based on solidarity and affordability of sustainable housing for all? The project Collective Housing: New Initiatives will present, define and disseminate topics of past and contemporary collective living, urban planning and architecture, urban solidarity practices, cooperation in neighbourhood communities as well as progressive sustainable housing policies and housing models.

A two-day event will be held on 21^st and 22^nd June 2018 at the Faculty of Architecture Ljubljana, City Museum Ljubljana (MGLM) and MAO Ljubljana, focusing on topics related to collective housing. It will include a presentation of student housing projects and the presentation of results of a student study entitled “The Collective Housing in Ljubljana from 1965 to the Present” performed by the design studio of prof. Anja Planišček (Ljubljana). New visions for potential initiatives will be discussed by invited experts: Alessio Rosati (Rome), Davide Marchetti (Rome), Gabu Heindl (Vienna), Florian Köhl (Berlin), Frédéric Druot (Paris), Rémi Buscot (Paris), local stakeholders and initiatives. The purpose of the event is to define the role of different parties involved in the process of creating policies that regulate collective forms of housing such as cooperative and co-housing. We will examine different aspects of the collective and its significance for urban living in the past and today.

The event will be held in the English and Slovenian language. Lectures in Slovenian will take place at the City Museum and will be simultaneously translated into English.
