Lunch followed by a private tour of the exhibition: “Who’s Next? Homelessness, Architecture, and Cities?”
The exhibition Who’s Next, created by the Architekturmuseum der Technischen Universität München (Pinakothek der Moderne), presents a wide range of architectural approaches to addressing the phenomenon of homelessness.
Homelessness has been increasing in slightly larger cities. In the 1970s and 1980s, one could observe “traditional vagabonds” in certain isolated areas. They were, in a way, familiar figures whose stories were known by many. This situation drastically changed with the spread of drugs. The line between drug users and the homeless became blurred. At the same time, with the opening of borders, begging became more widespread. Homelessness grew in scale and became more visible.
We are facing a problem that will persist and needs to be better understood, especially as we deal with multiple types of homelessness and equally varied motivations.
This exhibition, shown in Munich, Hamburg, and Bolzano, consists of panels, videos, and models illustrating a series of examples from cities outside Europe, case studies within Europe, and concludes with a perspective on Luxembourg. International examples—Los Angeles, São Paulo, Hong Kong, and Munich—highlighted in the exhibition, aim to encourage reflection on potential solutions.
Rejecting radical exclusion and instead fostering a nuanced understanding of the phenomenon is one of the exhibition’s goals. It calls for rethinking our approach.

Day in Aix-en-Provence
Our outing to Aix-en-Provence on October 5th is approaching and becoming more defined. At Catherine STARKMAN’s, we will discover a pure form of pictorial art, characterized by a profound exploration of color and texture, which has taken her from Paris to New York, where she spent nearly 20 years.
With BONNARD, one of the great pioneers of modernity, we will explore his elective affinities with Japan and the “images of the floating world.” Thanks to several connections through Delphine Cussac, we have chosen Mado, a cozy bistro-style restaurant, very popular with the locals in Aix.
