DESCRIPTION:Scummacumfemmer\nSCUMMACUMFEMMER\nSan Riemo Cooperative Housin
 g\, Munich\n\nSan Riemo is an experimental\, cooperative housing project i
 n Munich. It is a built attempt to overcome conventional boundaries of liv
 ing together\, operating both with strict limitations and unexpected oppor
 tunities.\n\nJoin us to exchange with the architects Anne Femmer and Flori
 an Summa\, founders of the Leipzig office SUMMACUMFEMMER. Their realized p
 rojects include the experimental cooperative residential building San Riem
 o in Munich\, which they designed collaboratively with Büro Juliane Greb.
  In 2023\, they were co-curators of the German Pavilion at the 18th Archit
 ecture Biennale in Venice. They have taught at ETH Zurich\, TU Munich and 
 TU Graz and are currently visiting professors at the Berlin University of 
 the Arts.\n\n—\n\n— \n\nThis lecture is part of the lecture series "A
 ffordable Housing: Six Exemplary Projects"\n\nFor the Fall Lecture Series\
 , the School of Architecture at the EPFL has gathered six housing projects
  that address affordable housing in an exemplary way. Each guest will pres
 ent one project and explain in detail what it means to produce good and af
 fordable housing from commission to inhabitation. The aim of these lecture
 s is to not stare too romantically at affordable housing\, but rather to s
 how how building affordable housing is both difficult and possible. The
  lecture series will be inaugurated by philosopher Emanuele Coccia - autho
 r of the acclaimed book The Philosophy of Home - who will introduce the 
 house as a place where to imagine new and unprecedented communities that c
 an challenge the way in which we build and inhabit housing today.\n\nIn th
 e last decade\, housing is back in the architects’ agenda. Yet\, renewed
  interest in housing corresponds to a historical moment in which\, more th
 an ever\, housing is considered a commodity to be bought\, sold and rented
  rather than a space to inhabit. While in the hey-day of the welfare state
 \, legions of architects – often employed by the state – had the chanc
 e to develop large-scale housing complexes\, and to experiment with unprec
 edented possibilities in terms of typology and technology\, today affordab
 le housing is reduced to few interventions in a desolate sea of commodifie
 d urbanization. Yet\, in spite of these hostile conditions\, some recent h
 ousing projects have managed to reformulate what affordable housing can be
  in the 21th century. Although these projects do not match (yet) the scale
  and quantity of their 20th century predecessors\, they are innovative es
 pecially in terms of how people can live together more collectively and by
  allowing new types of households
