The wider context

Architecture in focus

Residential architecture in the catalogue covers buildings designed primarily for housing — from experimental single-family villas to mass social housing estates. 10 Residential buildings across 3 cities trace the evolution of ideas about how people should live.

The Barbican Estate in London created a self-contained city within the city. Oscar Niemeyer's Interbau housing in Berlin brought Brazilian Modernism to a Cold War housing exhibition. Zaha Hadid's IBA Housing tested Deconstructivist ideas at the domestic scale. These buildings are laboratories for the fundamental architectural question: what does a good home look like?
