Democratic Design focuses on the relationship between people and the built environment, and contributes to the development of projects based on social sustainability and a democratic approach to co-creation, responsibility and inclusion. The department has an interdisciplinary approach and combines competences in architecture, urban planning and anthropology.

A financialized real estate market is both an abstraction of global capital flows and a localized driver of gentrification. Under this premise, architectural form and urban design become a performance of contradicting value formations. Drawing on the methods of urban history, geography, architectural criticism and performative writing strategies, this paper develops a theoretical perspective on the architecture of financialized rental housing based on a relational understanding of architecture and social space. The paper’s point of departure is the financialization of Germany’s social rental housing stock. The analysis identifies five strategies for cost-optimization that, taken together, outline the characteristics of an ideal city of financialization which promotes the destruction of social cohesion in the interests of shareholders. #gentrification #financialization #affordability #housingdesign

How can the architecture of memorials help us understand loss? Philosopher and architectural theorist Dr Lucy Benjamin from the University of Melbourne Faculty of Architecture, Building and Planning is the recipient of the 2024 Ernst & Rosemarie Keller Award which will support new research into how we think about the past, the kind of memorials we construct to commemorate history & how we perceive monuments as time passes. https://lnkd.in/grbFnNzf
