Abstract

This thesis explores the overlooked role of the Women’s Advisory Committees (VAC) in post-war Dutch social housing. Through case studies of the RVS flat and Malieklos, it analyzes the VAC’s influence on functionality, spatial layout, and flexibility, revealing their lasting impact on contemporary housing design.
