After successful completion of the course, students are able to discuss and reflect various positions and approaches in the debates and discourses on housing and residential living. The course invites participate to actively take part in these debates.

The spectrum of topics is broad - ranging from architectural proposals, alternative approaches to urban production, theoretical engagement with the built environment to artistic perspectives.
