Colloquium: Why Housing Matters

This in-person colloquium is part of the exhibition and event series "Design Matters: In Favor of Urban Public Space".
About this Event

What defines “secure” housing today? Who has access to it, and who is left out? How do policies and markets shape these conditions? What role can design play in addressing displacement and affordability? And how might housing respond to climate realities while remaining equitable? What would it mean to treat housing as a right rather than a privilege? How can we imagine new models of living that support both individual dignity and collective well-being?
