The Radical Hive: Social Housing Experiments in South America
Thursday, January 28 2016
All Day
The Radical HIVE is a research | exhibition | symposium project on paradigmatic urban housing projects built in Latin America from the mid-twentieth century to the present –and the corresponding European and Asian lineages from which they emerged through the post-war legacy of CIAM and Team X.
Research: Highlights the multiple facets of design and construction which together produced fertile ground for experimentation, each in resonance with the work of Le Corbusier in the Unite d’Habitation.
Exhibition: Located at the Miami Center for Architecture + Design includes models and materials documenting 35 international social housing projects of the period. These materials will form the backdrop and context for a symposium.
Symposium: Will be held on Saturday, February 20th, 2016 at the FIU Miami Beach Urban Studios (420 Lincoln Road, Miami Beach). The discussion will focus on the challenges and opportunities historically and presently inherent in the design and construction of affordable, accessible, resilient urban housing across the Americas.
