As we move towards a future of economic uncertainty for many, with evictions looming and homelessness on the rise, it is urgent we reconsider how to develop and organise space to meet the needs and desires of those most marginalised by our cities. How do we counter increasing segregation and disparity? How do we learn from and alongside those living on the streets? 

The project explores material ecologies by developing a design to incorporate industrial and bio-based waste. Habitar 424 is built over the course of the first half of the Biennale, enabling a public program building on Saber Comprender’s work recognising peer-to-peer education and valuing the lived experience of homelessness.
