Twelve international housing projects address a question: How does experimental architecture work in everyday life? Not as a question of esthetics, but usability? The projects in the exhebition Wohnmodelle at the Künstlerhaus (Vienna, Austria) vary in scope and cover a broad set of issues ranging from row housing, dwelling towers, minimal apartments, high-density housing and more. Each of the eleven selected international housing structures must have been inhabited for at least two years, so that marks of usage and appropriation are already evident. The exhibition features cardboard mockups of these housing projects – some of them even in scale 1:1.
