Summary:
Social Housing—Housing the Social: Art, Property and Spatial Justice examines ongoing transformations in social housing and asks how these transformations are reflected in the aspirations and practices of artists. Housing provides essential shelter, but also gives form to the social. It represents and embodies the materiality of civic politics and thus demonstrates the uneven nature of spatial justice at local and global scale. For many years artists have contributed to the design and organization of structures of living together, often with ambivalent effect. Whilst many have imagined—and attempted to implement—radical new forms of social housing, as alternatives to both privatization and state provision, they have also ushered in waves of gentrification, thus contributing significantly to a story of capitalization now dominant within urban infrastructures.

Face à ces conséquences, un consensus se dégage progressivement pour réorienter le développement du bâti vers l'intérieur et pour favoriser les processus de densification urbaine. Le site de Waldstadt, sur lequel portent les travaux de recherche et d'enseignement présentés dans cet ouvrage, constitue un champ d'investigation particulièrement adapté à l'exploration de ces enjeux. Green Density présente six visions originales élaborées au sein du Laboratoire d'architecture et technologies durables (LAST) de l'Ecole polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL). Par une approche se situant à différentes échelles d'intervention - du projet urbain au détail constructif - elles visent à expérimenter diverses formes envisageables pour le développement d'un tel site.
