The Boliglaboratorium exhibition at Portland State University explores the global challenge of housing, underscoring that living environments significantly affect health and social well-being. Originating from Denmark, co-housing emphasizes communal living and shared spaces as a way to promote affordable housing and combat loneliness, which is increasingly recognized as a health crisis. In Portland, where co-housing is gaining traction, the exhibition is complemented by programs aimed at discussing future housing solutions and the benefits of community-oriented living.
Boliglaboratorium, translated as "The Housing Lab," focuses on the universal challenge of housing populations, emphasizing that where we live directly influences health and social well-being.
Co-housing, a community-oriented multifamily model, promotes affordability and combats loneliness, which has been recognized by health officials as a significant concern impacting overall health.
