Architects Against Housing Alienation was formed in 2021 by a collective of architects, activists, and advocates determined to solve the problem of housing alienation in Canada. As part of their efforts to find solutions, they recently launched a website showcasing the work of students from END HOUSING ALIENATION NOW! The cross-Canada architecture Superstudio brought students and faculty together from September 2025 to May 2026 in order to approach the crisis from a perspective that goes beyond increasing the housing supply.

Check out the press release at https://studyarchitecture.com/blog/new-national-website-brings-together-a-cross-canada-architecture-superstudio-confronting-the-housing-crisis/ to see how this project examines the housing crisis with a much deeper focus.
