- More about Hidden in Plain Sight: Politics and Design in State-Subsidized Residential Architecture
Social housing has a long tradition in Europe, often anonymously built and unappreciated. The Mapping Public Housing research project at the University of Portos Faculty of Architecture has traced the architectural heritage of social housing, demonstrating that vibrant neighborhoods and city districts have emerged from such programs. Hidden in Plain Sight recognizes the development of subsidized residential construction as a part of Europe's cultural history and traces the important role that state-funded housing has played in the emergence of the European welfare state.

Social housing has a rich history in Europe, dating back to the early 20th century. These often anonymous and unappreciated structures have emerged across the suburbs of Europe's major cities. In the multidisciplinary and international research project Mapping Public Housing, the Center for Studies in Architecture and Urbanism at the University of Porto's Faculty of Architecture has been tracing the architectural heritage of social housing. The findings reveal that in many cases, vibrant neighborhoods and entire city districts have emerged from such social housing programs.
This book delves deeper into exemplary developments in Germany, Great Britain, Portugal, Switzerland, and Spain. The case studies cover a wide range of social and historical contexts, from the beginnings of social housing in Portugal sparked by German investment during World War I to the propaganda policies associated with subsidized housing for the working class in the 1940s, and to sustainable concepts and ideas for the future.
Hidden in Plain Sight offers a comprehensive panorama that recognizes the development of subsidized residential construction as a part of Europe's cultural history and traces the significant role that state-funded housing has played in the emergence of the European welfare state.
