Sustainable Commons: Housing and Urban Mining is a Studio Report from the Fall 2022 semester at the Harvard University Graduate School of Design based on an option studio of the same name instructed by Farshid Moussavi and Hanif Kara taught in Arles, France at LUMA Arles.
It explores the issue of housing through a combination of ecological, economic, and social approaches. Focused on the benefits and drawbacks of communal living, Sustainable Commons also relies on urban mining, or the reuse of the city’s waste materials, to expand the ecological approach to and impact of housing.
