The European Commissioner for Housing and Energy visits Wikihousing

During the visit to Wikihousing, we had the opportunity to present the project, share the research and development lines currently being promoted, and show the current state of the construction works and the collaborative building processes linked to the project. The meeting made it possible to explain how Wikihousing is working on new models for public housing production based on reducing construction costs and times, the use of ecological and reversible systems, and the incorporation of participatory and training processes connected to the building site itself.

The visit also opened up conversations about possible future collaborations and about the role that experimental initiatives such as Wikihousing can play within new European affordable housing strategies, especially in relation to the need to promote more sustainable, distributed and accessible models for contemporary cities.
