On the third Wednesday of November, Bernadette Krejs, an architect and leading researcher at the Research Institute for Housing and Design at the Technical University of Vienna, will present. Her work operates in the interdisciplinary research field between architecture, housing, and visual culture. In her dissertation, she focuses on the media representation of housing through digital platforms. She is a co-founder of the international doctoral program New Social Housing, an editor and author of several books – Changing Spatial Practices (2025), Vienna: The End of Housing (as a Typology) (2024), Instagram-Wohnen (2024). Her work has been published in various exhibitions. She is a member of the Margarete Schütte Lihotzky project and LINA – European Architecture Platform, a co-founder of the queer feminist collective Claiming*Spaces, and involved in the activist research practice Palace of Un/Learning.
The lecture Housing Otherwise will explore how empathy-, solidarity-, and circularity-based architecture can contribute to more just forms of housing in times of climate and social crisis. Using Vienna as an example, it will seek new approaches to sharing and community living.
