A Free Guided Exhibition Tour in London
Join us at the Building Centre on a guided tour of the exhibition Housing Standardisation: Who Designs Our Homes and How Do We Live?
What does a typical home in England look like?
How does it compare to housing in other countries? How are these homes designed? And, what is it like to live in them?
Based on a three-year study of recently built affordable and subsidised housing in England, Chile, China, the Netherlands, Spain, and Switzerland, this exhibition explores these questions through 37 in-depth case studies that document typical homes and the lived experiences of their residents.
The exhibition shows how regulatory approaches, housing markets, and social and cultural norms shape housing expectations, perceptions, standards, and the types and quality of housing built. This study is presented through a rich visual, spatial, and social analysis of affordable housing, including:
- physical models
- drawings
- photographs
- 3D interior scans
- videos and drone footage
- home-use studies through live-motion tracking
- interviews of residents and housing professionals
The tour will be conducted by members of the research project from Royal College of Arts on selected days. Use the link below to book your stour session.
