Description
With the Bauhaus Award 2008, the Bauhaus Dessau Foundation continues its research into “Updating Modernism”. In doing so, a central topic of the historic Bauhaus is taken up and introduced into a contemporary discourse: solutions are sought for the minimum subsistence level housing of today.

The Bauhaus Award 2008 will look at the social standards of the modern age in the field of housing and examine these in the light of the current housing crisis. The issue at the heart of the Award will be: poverty and housing shortages. Design-based plans or concepts and models or scenarios for housing policy are sought for minimum subsistence level housing. The focus will be on the development or design of affordable housing options in urban space. Candidates are expected to explore the existential standards and social requirements of the societies on which they base their Award entry.
