Responding to the recent book, Architecture and the Housing Question, this panel will ask: What does it mean to read and write about architecture and housing in our historical moment? How do we incorporate the experience of the recent global crises and the shocks that accompany them into new ways of conceptualizing the housing question? By the housing question, we refer to a historically recurrent problem: How have the design, provision and management of shelter for large numbers around the world helped alleviate or, conversely, justify inequality, be it classed, racialized or gendered?
