A group of architects and lecturers based in Prague, Germany and the UK invited us to work with them on a design for a publication. The project came off the back of an exhibition and workshop exploring affordable housing. The exhibition looked at the area of Karlin in Prague and analysed the rate and quality of development in that area over the last few years. The end result of the research was an increase of unaffordable and poorly built apartments, made for profit and not for the residents of the area. The aim of the magazine was to communicate the results to the residents of Karlin, questioning this kind of development and what is meant by the term “affordable” which developers, architects and politicians misuse. The magazine will be issued to the residents of Karlin for free, as well as selected associations of the project in Prague, Germany and the UK.
