DESCRIPTION
The 4-days workshop on co-housing practices brings together urban practitioners and members of co-housing projects from Zurich, Leipzig and Athens to share their expertise, collaborate and examine the prospect of a realistic implementation of co-ownership models in Athens.
Our aim is to address the issues currently at stake in Athens such as the transforming housing needs, the degradation of urban fabric, the social protection of the new middle-low class and their right to the city; to explore ways of urban resistance to massive speculative real-estate development in the center of the city through paradigms already tested abroad. We aspire that this procedure of knowledge-sharing and common work will establish long-term collaborations and networks.
The meeting is organized in morning sessions where participants discuss and reflect on existing co-housing projects and their socio-political framework, and in afternoon workshops that focus on specific case studies in Athens. Every morning session will be framed around a specific thematic area (ownership, decision-making, sharing space, vision) for which we will try to abstract concrete ideas and knowledge to be used for possible future cases of co-housing in Athens, to be worked in detail in the afternoon workshops.
An overall presentation, followed by an assembly-discussion, will take place on Sunday 30 Oct., during which we will sketch a realistic scenario of instituting protocols for common ownership and co-living practices in Athens and a few concrete future steps.
