Urban housing is an indicator of economic, social, and political change. It varies greatly in quality, typology, and audience, falling in between formal urban infrastructure systems and informal systems of daily life. The intricacy of housing provides architects with unique and fascinating opportunities. Urbanisation exacerbates its significant obstacles in integrating with private equity and state agencies. The paintings aim to express and contextualise current discourses in urban housing through architecture, organised into five themes: our history, changing domesticities, housing heartlanders, design, and material innovation. Tones of grey symbolise the extensive use of sustainable material, like concrete prefabricated materials for structure; the tightly woven describes the dense nature of housing, and the textural overlays over familiar silhouettes try to imagine the weather changes that come down, yet the well-built blocks protect their inhabitants through well-thought-through empathic, ergonomic, and economic considerations.
