Master in Collective Housing

Led by internationally renowned architects and supported by committed local assistants, each workshop of became an intense design laboratory: 25 hours of total immersion where students stepped beyond their routines to confront urgent architectural questions.

Across seven workshops, participants strengthened their technical precision, critical thinking, and conceptual clarity while engaging diverse methodologies focused on collective housing and the future of urban living.

As we approach , we look back at the workshops that defined the previous edition:

“Inhabited Boundaries” with Alison Brooks and Carlos Chauca
“Coastal Lines” with Hrvoje Njiric and Derrick Christensen
“Domestic Fragments” with Elli Mosayebi and Álvaro Martín Fidalgo
“Learning from Tokyo” with Momoyo Kaijima and Alberto Nicolau
“UR BAN – RU RAL” with Jan De Vylder and Brittany Siegert
“From Modernist Ruins to Advanced Naturalized Neighbourhoods” with Juan Herreros and Pedro Pitarch
“Qualities of Inhabitation for the 21st Century” with Anne Lacaton and Diego García Setién

Thank you to all students and faculty who made MCH 2025 a truly transformative experience.

Hrvoje Njirić — architect and educator — has continuously expanded the dialogue between architecture, culture, and education across continents. This month, he joins to present his lecture:

“Housing and Other Ways of Being Together”

The lecture addresses changing housing policies in Croatia and the theme of crisis in three ways. It examines housing across different environmental and typological conditions and in relation to other programs; it also links housing theory with practice, highlighting how teaching and studio work productively influence each other; and finally, it shows how the architect/client dual role opens up new possibilities for experimentation.
