Care(4)Housing - A care through design approach to address housing precarity in Portugal.
In a close dialogue between theory and practice / research and action, the research aims to explore new housing concepts oriented to ‘othered’ groups. C4H explores four dimensions on care – Spatial (care for space), Social (care for people), Technical (building with care), and Political (care as a tool) - through a 'research by design' methodology. Connection with ‘othered’ social groups, technical bodies and stakeholders at the municipalities more affected by housing precarity (Great Lisbon), will be enhanced through the creation of local Housing Laboratories, a central task of the project. At the end, a tool for mapping, a full set of design applications, and in situ prototypes, come together in the ‘Atlas of Spatial Care’, ready to inform architects, policy makers, specialists, and others concerned with housing inequalities.
