Museum of Housing Estates (MOM) is a grassroots' initiative of the inhabitants of Lublin Housing Cooperative (LSM). The museum is located in Osiedle Słowackiego in a pavilion designed by Zofia and Oskar Hansen. It is open for meetings and discussions on topics related to broadly understood housing. It treats post-war housing estates as a common basis of identity for four generations of Lublin residents. The museum combines social archives and a collection of objects brought by residents info educational formats.
The visual identity of the Museum of Housing Estates refers to the past, but also fits the current issues related to urbanity, architecture, activity and neighborhood integration. The typography in the logo is designed with reference to the Polish logotypes from the 60-70s, while the characteristic element of a letter "M" brings to mind a massive apartment block. A detailed map of the Lublin Housing Cooperative is an important element of identity, which is also used on printed materials. The graphic illustration of the map is based on technical documentation, including the estate greenery and pedestrian paths.
All projects for museum: detailed map, posters, postcards with housing estates, guide to pavilions, cards of objects attached to the map, educational materials about housing estates prepared in a graphic form.
