The conference focusses on housing concepts and built settlements of the 20th-century, which often explicitly addressed hygienical, ecological, communal, and social issues and necessities. We ask how these heritage values can be conserved for the sake of sustainable futures. Forms of use, social interaction, and participation might contribute to the care and careful adaptation of such sites, but also create conflicts. Various actors—from business, politics, conservation, and civil society—define, appropriate, and manage this housing heritage and need to be involved. The conference also examines housing and climate policies, development pressure, and vacancy as powerful contexts.
We aim for an exchange of theories, reflections, and approaches in practice within the European context of conservation and planning; and specifically address those settlements that have gained listed status due to their artistic and architectural values, their planning ideas and urban design, and their social concepts. How do different actors value and manage these settlements today?
As a research project at the interface of academic and institutionalised preservation, we aim to make the findings and discussions accessible to broader audiences within the field of listed residential buildings, especially tenants and other stakeholders. Contributions should address at least one of these presented sub-themes, please indicate your choice. Abstracts (maximum 300 words) and a short vita (maximum 50 words) should be submitted to Luisa Omonsky/Johann Gallis (wohnenimdenkmal@TUWien.ac.at) before March 28th, 2024. Responses will be given by mid-May, 2024. We cover travel cost approximately up to an amount of 300€ for the presenters. The conference is free of charge.
