IBA Meets Research
With the Vienna Housing Research (MA 50), the City of Vienna has for a long time had a recognized competence center for collecting and expanding knowledge about the complex matter of housing. The IBA_Vienna is closely linked to the Vienna Housing Research and sees itself as a learning system. Therefore, the scientific analysis, research and critical reflection of the thematic field “New Social Housing” has been of great importance from the very beginning.
These research findings and studies have grown to an impressive level during the IBA term. The publication series Contributions to IBA_Vienna comprises a total of about 40 volumes and many of its findings were concretely fed into practice in the next IBA projects. The spectrum ranges from fundamental aspects of residential construction to sociological analyses and the qualities of green and open space to accompanying studies of individual IBA projects. It is not uncommon for these research findings and analyses to have made the quality and potential of these projects possible in the first place.
In this way, a highly topical store of knowledge has been created, which is also valid beyond the term of the IBA_Vienna. All Contributions to IBA_Vienna can be downloaded from the IBA_Vienna website and are also available in print in a limited edition.
