Join Hilary Sample (GSAPP, MOS) and Michael Meredith (Princeton, MOS) for the 10th session of The Library is Open. They will present and discuss their publication, Housing Laboratory / Laboratorio de Vivienda (Barcelona: Actar, 2024), followed by a Q&A.

Laboratorio de Vivienda considers the problem of low-income housing by bringing thoughtful attention and expertise of architects, considering how these proposals, assembled into a collective, would work together toward creating not an estate but a community for Apan. For, given the limited resources of such works, each decision gains greater significance and has greater impact on the design and on the life of its inhabitants.
