In the face of the global housing crisis, the challenges of affordable and social housing go far beyond construction cost and speed—they encompass spatial quality, social equity, governance mechanisms, and environmental impact. Directly addressing these complexities, this July, the Institute of Smart City and Management - University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (UEH - ISCM), in collaboration with partners from Korea, Singapore, and Thailand, will host the International Conference Dwelling in Transition: Reimagining Affordable and Social Housing across Scales and Systems.
The conference will be a multidisciplinary and cross-sectoral platform for professionals to come together, share knowledge, and rethink the meaning of "affordability" through lenses of design, policymaking, finance, and sustainability. With new definitions, models, and theoretical frameworks built upon expert research, this event aims to reshape housing paradigms to better suit today's economic and social realities.
Main Topics:
🏠 Margins: Grey Areas and Emergent Practices
🏠 Materials and Methods: Constructing Affordability
🏠 Instruments: Policy, Finance, and Governance
The conference also welcomes papers exploring topics related to design, planning, technology, finance, impact measurement, community engagement, sustainability and livability.

Architect Fumihiko Maki (1928-2024), in his seminal text "Investigations in Collective Form," grapples with architecture's role in an increasingly complex society. Collective Form emerged when buildings came together to produce something larger than the sum of their parts. While today many of these same challenges exist, the notion of Collective Form has also expanded. The Steedman 2026 jury seeks mindful research proposals on architecture's role in producing collective forms/ forums that catalyze a more politically engaged discipline and citizenry. The award for the 2026 winning proposal will be $100,000.
