The Etxe Beharrak 2026 conference aims to provide a comprehensive perspective on innovation in the field of social housing. The event will be structured around three fundamental axes addressing the needs of contemporary public housing: environmental conditioning, construction and material reuse, and co-housing.
These conferences will offer a broad outlook on the challenges facing public housing, guided by professionals with real-world experience in their respective fields. The activity is aimed at the general public and university students.
Jon Begiristain Mitxelena, a professor at the UPV School of Architecture and an experienced architect, is one of the conference directors. His career includes numerous projects, such as international affordable housing challenges and the redevelopment of public squares and spaces.
UIK reaffirms its commitment to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 2030. These conferences particularly contribute to SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities), emphasizing the importance of providing adequate, safe, and affordable housing.
