Barcelona’s Social Housing Strategies
Caterina Figuerola; Ibon Bilbao (eds.)

To understand the point at which public housing stock in large urban centres finds itself, it is vital to approach the process of generating social housing in all its complexity. The need to respond sustainably to the housing emergency has prompted a rethinking of the strategy to generate housing and, more urgently, social housing.
This publication presents and analyses the various strategies for the development and construction of social housing carried out in recent years by the municipal administration in the city of Barcelona. It selects a series of projects that exemplify the maximum number of working methodologies, briefs and innovative proposals that also guarantee quality architecture.
It is a collective book in which all those involved in the process of gestating and the process of living have a voice. A voice that is materialized in a wide variety of documents: drawings, plans, renderings, photographs, reflections, debates, testimonies… A collection of situations that invite reflection.

Fernanda CanalesA case study that analyzes the relationship between ideas and houses, this book focuses on 100 years of housing projects in Mexico.

Housing in Mexico Fernanda Canales A case study that analyzes the relationship between ideas and houses, this book focuses on 100 years of housing projects in Mexico. The geographic, social, and economic diversity of Mexico constitute a prime example of the challenges inherent to meeting individual needs in an increasingly crowded world. The drawings and essays comprise new ways of looking at theories and buildings in order to redefine the connection between housing and the city. This research is centered in drawings of 70 housing projects, creating a common language highlighting different attempts at reinventing the house not as an isolated battle but as part of a strategy for reimagining how we want to live. This book showcases the pivotal voices that have shaped major cities through housing projects and explores how policies and ideas transform into built form, and how in turn buildings shape societies.
