Next year marks the 100th anniversary of Neues Frankfurt, a project that was realized based on the vision of a future where new technologies, typologies but also social economies would provide for adequate housing for the many. We examined such mass housing concepts as a phenomenon of the 20th century, their shortcomings, but also their benefits, architectural expression, tools such as repetition and standardization, and projected critically into the future: What offers itself as “new” in housing today with regards to the social and the ecological crisis at the same time? What are the contemporary architectural and economic tools with which we can re-design affordable housing for the many? The students‘ work will be exhibited as part of „Yes, we care! Das Neue Frankfurt und die Frage nach dem Gemeinwohl“, on the occasion of 100 Years of Neues Frankfurt at Museum Angewandte Kunst in Frankfurt. Opening: 8.5.2025. In cooperation with @andpartnersincrime and @museumangewandtekunst
