Vienna International Summer School on New Social Housing
The International Summer School on New Social Housing is the successor of the IBA_ResearchLab Summer Schools which took place between 2018 and 2022, as part of the International Building Exhibition Vienna. The International Building Exhibition with the theme of New Social Housing represented a unique opportunity for the city of Vienna to consolidate its position as an international centre for the scientific research on current developments in the fields of housing and housing development. Taking up the rich experience of five summer schools and building on the renowned faculty of the IBA_ResearchLab, the Research Center for New Social Housing was launched in 2022 to continue the international and institutional networking between different disciplinary research fields of housing research and to foster the transdisciplinary cooperation involving actors of Viennese housing production. The Research Center for New Social Housing is a collaboration of TU Wien and the University of Vienna. The Vienna International Summer School on New Social Housing is carried out in collaboration with the department ‘Social Design – Arts as Urban Innovation’ of the University of Applied Arts, Vienna and is kindly supported by the Municipal Department 50 – Strategic Projects and International Affair.
