CoHousing Here! (c) CoHousing Here!

Dublin Castle and TU Dublin, Bolton Street, Dublin 1
 
CoHousing Here! is a series of talks, panel discussions as well as film sessions about resident-led housing, architecture, community and affordability. The event aims to inform the Irish public in regard to alternative, socially and environmentally sustainable housing models, which encourage and facilitate diversity, adaptability and community development. By bringing together innovators, policymakers and activists from Ireland, Belgium, Spain, Holland, Italy, the UK and Germany, it challenges to think about participative design, innovative home and community building, democratic urban planning, and agency for residents in the creation of their homes.
 
From Germany urban activist and cohousing expert Michael LaFond and architect and participate design expert Inka Drohn will give insights in their work.
