In the framework of the International Building Exhibition (IBA) on “New Social Housing”, which will take place in Vienna in 2022, the TU Wien and the University of Vienna established a research cluster (“ResearchLab”) to encourage interdisciplinary, critical and comparative research in the field of social housing and urban development. To accomplish this goal, the ResearchLab started in 2018 with a series of annual International Summer Schools on relevant aspects of social housing.

www.iba-researchlab.at

 

In 2020, the summer school has a thematic focus on climate adaptation and mitigation in social housing. Global warming and climate change bring about dramatic challenges for social housing. The function of housing and housing environments as shelter against heat, rain and storm receives new attention, even in regions that have for long not been prone to adverse weather conditions. Urban design strategies rediscover the values of shadow and water for healthy living conditions.

 

Due to the COVID-19 protection measures, this years‘ events will be accessible online for registered participants.

To attend please register until the 2nd of September at iba-researchlab.at/programme2020/
