The four posters were created as part of our research seminar in the winter semester of 2024/25, offering an insight into the projects that participants worked on intensively over the course of the semester. In the first part of the seminar, we explored critical perspectives from practitioners, filmmakers and scholars on topics such as affordable housing amid market-driven construction and land shortages, architecture and infrastructure that support the well-being of humans (and potentially other species) in cities, peri-urban, and rural areas, as well as neighborhood and coexistence in urban contexts. Research findings from a spatial design perspective were also discussed, covering topics like living and temporary homemaking on university campuses, cohabitation in rapidly changing neighborhoods, post-disaster housing and community building as well as multilocal living arrangements across regions or national borders. Based on this, participants developed their own student research projects in the second part of the seminar, which were continuously refined through exchange with the seminar instructor and peers.
