The Architecture of Collective Living

The main challenge arising from the Architecture of Collective Living is how architecture can respond to changing political, cultural, economic, and urban contexts and how to propose new effective design ideas and models. What is the agency of architecture? How do we develop a pedagogical model that allows for a more effective relation between academic institutions and practice? How can architectural and urban design practice intervene in contexts where vulnerable and often in-transit populations are living? How can the categories of permanence, transition, or ‘integration’ be rethought in relation to new models of social and spatial organizations that challenge conventional domestic diagrams?
