Housing the Masses - Invitation to the International conference
International conference on the history of institutionalized housing of socialist Czechoslovakia and Austrian welfare state.
In housing, architecture has served as one of the key instruments of organizing the life of society.
For Czechoslovakia and its subsequent states of the Czech Republic and Slovakia as much as for Austria, institutionalized housing – housing provided by the state or by limited profit cooperatives – has coined the everyday practices of urban living. The initial concepts of the 1920s, have evolved into distinctive models of housing due to their different political and economic background. However different they might be they also show strong parallels.
The symposium aims for an exchange of knowledge and fostering professional cooperation in the research of historic models of housing in Central Europe in the interwar period and the period after the World War II.. It seeks to establish professional and research cooperation between Czech and Austrian scholars on the topic of the history of institutionalized mass housing, which has great tradition in both countries. The symposium is also open to the general public. You are welcomed to join us in the discussion.
