Housing for a Sustainable Community – Experiences and Guidelines
The central theme of the fifth ArhiBau conference is “Housing for a Sustainable Community – Experiences and Guidelines”, with keynote contributions from leading European experts. Portuguese architect Diogo de Sousa Rocha (MASSLAB) will present practical, affordable housing projects developed through architectural tenders. François Claessens (Omthuis, Netherlands) will share insights from one of Europe’s most advanced social housing systems. Črtomir Remec (Housing Fund RS, Slovenia) will outline standards for long-term sustainable housing and showcase case studies that are reshaping current practice.

“For five years now, ArhiBau has been driving real change in the quality and sustainability of the built environment, connecting local expertise with international best practices. As an architect, I find it important to emphasise that even when we focus on housing, we are also addressing the broader design of communities — how we live together, share public spaces, and create a sustainable future,” said Tihomil Matković, architect and Chair of the ArhiBau Conference Program and Organizing Committee.
