Rosa Aboy and Pablo Elinbaum with Karen Kubey
Professional Council of Architecture and Urban Planning (CPAU), Buenos Aires | August 06, 2025
This public lecture and panel discussion explored how the right to housing—in Argentina and globally—isn’t just a political, legal, and economic issue, but also an architectural one. What does the right to housing mean in practice? And how can designers contribute?
Keynote speakers Rosa Aboy, Director of the Center for Research on Housing History in Latin America (CEIHVAL-IEH-UBA), and Pablo Elinbaum, urbanist and Center for Urban and Regional Studies (CEUR) investigator, in conversation with Architecture and Housing Justice Lab founding director, Karen Kubey.
