However, the exhibition does not present a catalog of solutions to this crisis, it focuses on presenting its systemic conditions. The curators of the exhibition decided to examine not only the problems of finding a roof over one’s head, but also what the problem itself is like. They considered whether the roof met our needs and whether we lived well under it. They examined typical Warsaw apartments built in various economic systems, comparing their size and room layout. They paid particular attention to the fact that not only the price of new apartments is important, but also their quality.

The space of the apartment affects our life choices, well-being and health, regardless of whether we spent all our savings on purchasing it or rent it. In the investment and construction process, it is often forgotten that the result should be a house. A house that is intended to serve as a place to live.

Housing is the product of a complex process. It is not only a “machine for living”, the form of which is designed to fulfill its function most effectively – to provide a place for everyday life, rest or even work. The apartment is also part of the systemic structure – its form is the result of the policy and adopted regulations, and at the same time serves to achieve financial profits.
