various methodological approaches to housing research, such as housing biographies, housing statistics and socio-spatial analysis to participatory methods at the interface between research and community work will be examined in more detail along with the prospects of mixed designs.
Field Studies
on-site workshops with stakeholders, local actors and practitioners offer insights into the transformation of post-war social housing in Vienna.
LECTURES
public lectures and panel discussions by and with members of the international faculty on current questions of housing research.
