The exhibition, which includes a total of 90 projects, is programmatically divided into two units: a general and a thematic part. In the general part of the exhibition, 50 projects are exhibited, representing indicative examples of housing architecture created around the world in the period between two exhibitions, i.e. in the past two years.

The selected projects are accompanied by reviews provided by members of the International Scientific and Artistic Committee, which represent a kind of scientific-professional and critical reflection of the current affairs and trends in the field of residential architecture, while taking into account the diversity of the socio-political, economic, and cultural context.
