Social structural change has led to changes in housing requierments of the last decades. Through the initiation of social learning processes, the further development of current forms of living is sought. Furthermore, new energy-efficient building concepts require a change in the behavior of residents to be on the one hand actually energy-efficient and on the other hand not to have a negative effect on the health of the residents. Social learning processes and awareness raising are important elements of sustainable development. The vision is to create liveable human-centered, sustainable and affordable housing for everyone by providing data, insights of housing needs, experiments, and concepts on an international scale for regional needs.
The Housing.Dialogue Styria is a face to face platform and sees itself as an interface between architects, decision-makers, science, the construction industry, and the users. It collects, informs, evaluates and develops sustainable housing concepts.
