The Festival Homes for Tomorrow raises a wide range of issues, which influence whether the future of housing is of high quality and accessible. Reviewing world and Ukrainian tendencies, we project the discussion into the future and consider the scenarios of housing developments, innovative typologies and set the agenda for approaching the necessary changes.
The Festival unites world-renowned theoreticians, experts, and practitioners on the topic of housing in a series of lectures, discussions, and presentations. We showcase the projects of the CANactions School students, as well as of professional international and Ukrainian projects, which push the boundaries of conventional housing and tackle the challenges of today. The CANactions International Architecture Festival 2021 incorporates the international experience and facilitates its critical understanding and application.
