Live talk about social housing around the world with MAD Architects | Dezeen

Dezeen teamed up with MAD Architects on a live talk exploring social housing in different regions around the world.
Moderated by Dezeen's editor Tom Ravenscroft, the talk heard from three architecture studios that have designed social housing schemes - MAD, Peter Barber Architects and Body-Lawson Associates.
The panel comprised principal partner at MAD Yosuke Hayano, director at Peter Barber Architects Alice Brownfield and principal of Body-Lawson Associates Victor Body-Lawson, who have designed social housing projects in China, the UK and US respectively.
The talk explored housing projects designed by each studio and discussed the cultural and social contexts around social housing in the regions that the architects work in.
The panel also discussed how building regulations differ region to region, the needs of residents, what they believe is necessary for a successful low-cost housing scheme and what the architects' role is in the creation of low-cost housing.

Worth adding, what MAD were trying to say was not that they were advocates for social housing internationally (after all they are from China!), but that it is critical if we want to get to how cities survive this period into the future. Yep, I think that's what Yosuke was trying to say!
