An international symposium addressing the role that prospective houses, homes and domestic habitats can have on driving beneficial spatial, social, and environmental outcomes at a societal level.

Houses, Homes & Domestic Habitats are fantastic-al! When viewed as a site of experimentation, these modestly scaled architectures can investigate conjectural, speculative, and prospective forms of living. The impact of these novel forms of dwelling can permeate well beyond the limits of their walls, having the potential to radically challenge and rethink how we inhabit the planet. What role can prospective domestic habitats have on the future of our built environment in response to urgent spatial, societal, and environmental challenges?
