Six fellows from LINA, the eminent European architecture network for emerging talents in architecture, will join Architectuul from March 2024 to particpate in a new edition of Architectuul's Digital Fellowship Programme.

Planned is a common book and exhibition project which will be presented on the occasion of this year's Architecture Biennale in Tallinn. Estonia.

Modernist social Housing today, our topic this year, has become one of the key issues of architecture today – how to ensure a living environment that creates a new collective identity and offers equal opportunities for all. This is a perpetual and unforgiving problem, a human right that remains largely unrecognized and unprovided.

We may have accommodated this problem better at different times and places, along our history, and not just for the few, but for the many. As basic as food and clothing, it is both essential and fundamental, and probably one of our earliest form of constructions. Its shapes, materials used and how they were constructed built our distinct identities that were formed by particular landscapes, environments and social structure of the communities that we were part of, which has become more and more standardized by dominant materials, industries and internationalization of housing productions.

Our fellowship will take a fresh look at the utopias of the past and analyses how housing estates from across Europe can be transformed today, where the idea of collectivity has been dispersed into a multitude of privatopias?
