Housing in Transition 

The Poland Workshop was held in the first year of the transition to a market economy and explored options in rethinking massive housing complexes. A variety of activities was built around the workshops, which included seminars, classroom work, special research projects, summer research, and theses. The host was the Department of Architecture, Warsaw University of Technology.

This Program addresses issues at the community level, focused on the vulnerable income groups which comprise the majority. It is organized around a 2-week field workshop supported by background preparatory work.
