Since summer 2015 the refugee crisis in Europe can no longer be ignored in this country either. At the moment the priority is to enable those who have not moved on to stay. In doing so, one problem in particular has become visible: the lack of affordable housing.

The Az W is hosting a presentation of architectural concepts for long-term accommodation for immigrants. The various projects range from improving the housing situation with temporary emergency shelters via the use of vacant inner city property to new low-cost housing. The panel discusses the implementation and feasability of the plans with commentaries from people involved on a daily basis with housing refugees in Austria.
