Urban Living seeks to discuss future forms of urban residential construction, while considering their design qualities and social influences.

How can residential building strengthen urban structures and provide new opportunities through densification? How can mono-structures be broken up and open spaces upgraded? How can architecture meet the requirements of new cohabitation forms, addressing a broader social mix or the combination of living and working? 

The exhibition and publication present exemplary designs that were generated in the Urban Living Workshop, with thirty international architecture offices, over a period of a year.

Kristien Ring, AA PROJECTS, was commissioned by the Berlin Senate for Urban Development to document the results of the workshops in the form of a publication. Additionally, an exhibition that included built projects from SELF MADE CITY, as well as accompanying discussions.

The exhibition was also shown in Madrid.
