Designing a Cooperative Housing Project

This lecture follows the journey of a young architectural practice in a EU-wide competition to design a cooperative housing project in Munich. The project aimed to provide diverse living options, including shared spaces and flexible room configurations. The architects faced challenges such as budget constraints and convincing stakeholders of their design choices. Through a collaborative process with future inhabitants, they explored innovative solutions like a central kitchen area and a winter garden facade. The lecture showcases the design process, from initial concepts to the final building, highlighting the importance of community engagement and thoughtful spatial planning.
