A New European Bauhaus drives a socially and ecologically sustainable societal transformation. The interface topic »housing« represents an important field of action for this transformation, as it brings together global questions and questions of everyday life. The AG Wohnen proposes the establishment of a transdisciplinary platform on the housing issue, which combines different disciplines within the university and integrates non-university social actors in housing. The platform fulfills three functions: transfer (education and knowledge transfer from the university to society and vice versa), development of model projects and bundled presentation of projects in an archive.

The platform integrates a large number of social groups and sees itself as transdisciplinary. Partners from politics and administration, from civil society or the private sector (oriented towards the common good) each have their own wealth of knowledge and skills for socio-ecological transformation and are an integral part of the project. The platform thus leaves the purely academic area and is intended to bundle, expand and represent university and non-university knowledge.

We want to design a future for the question «How do we want to live?». The idea of ​​such a platform has been driving us for years, as we work on the topic of "living" in many different ways: in our teaching, practice as planners/architects and research as scientists.
