Inconspicuous transformations: the socio-spatial reconfiguration of ‘formal’ housing in Europe. DFG (2025-2027)

Housing across Europe is becoming increasingly unaffordable, particularly in prosperous, growing and densely populated cities. Based on its ongoing commodification, diminishing delivery of social flats as well as associated processes of gentrification, people are pushed to rely on precarious 'hidden' housing markets. Although largely unrecognized in policy and academic discourses, these markets have become an essential source of accommodation not only for the truly marginalized groups but also for the middle classes with relatively stable incomes. In this way, the new habitation and spatial practices extend beyond clearly informal and marginal solutions such as squats or makeshift settlements and become common among housing formats conventionally understood as formal. This project works toward a better understanding of such inconspicuous housing transformations in the context of three countries representing diverse attitudes to these phenomena (stronger control, deregulation, toleration). It aims to document the types of socio-spatial changes in the current housing markets in these contexts, revitalize theoretical debate, develop tools for measuring these phenomena, and popularize knowledge about housing struggles in Europe.

Passive solutions in self-build and incremental housing: towards inclusive socioecological transformation in rapidly urbanizing areas. Volkswagen Stiftung Change! Fellowships and Research Groups (2025-2029)

Housing development is central to achieving climate neutrality and social inclusion around the world. Well-designed buildings and neighborhoods have the potential to optimize energy use, save water, and ensure recycling of construction materials and effective waste management. With this project, the team plans to fill an important gap in this research area by investigating how such measures can be integrated into longer, incremental construction in an affordable way and taking into account local socio-cultural contexts and material conditions. While these solutions are increasingly being used in new, high-quality buildings, the majority of homes in rapidly growing areas in the coming decades will be built through self-construction or incremental construction. In this context, high upfront investment and complex technical solutions often hinder the rapid implementation of passive design measures. In collaboration with Habitat for Humanity in Peru and Kota Kita in Indonesia, the project will conduct a diagnosis of the status quo, design solutions and processes for housing construction together with local communities, and test these through small- scale interventions in the target countries. On this basis, an open-access design manual and capacity-building activities will be provided to demonstrate and disseminate the approach through a network of practitioners and development organizations, including UN-Habitat.
