Future of Housing: How Will Housing Be Designed Post-Corona

The corona pandemic has unequivocally shone a light on the importance that housing has on our health and wellbeing. It has also highlighted housing crises around the globe, and the lack of affordable housing in many of our cities.

In a special webinar with UNStudio and IE School and Architecture and Design, we explore some of the big questions surrounding the future of housing:

What will housing models look like in years to come? How will we ensure the homes we build are as sustainable as possible? How will we meet shortages and ensure every demographic is catered for? Will micro-living become the norm? And will a “New European Bauhaus” movement, an initiative called for by the European Commission as part of the European Green Deal, bring solutions and a new era of housing design?
