Collective Living and the Architectural Imaginary - by Felipe Correa & Anthony Averbeck & Devin Dobrowolski (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Tracing a lineage of collective housing projects from early twentieth-century experiments to contemporary proposals that challenge dominant market-driven paradigms, the book presents sixty projects from across the globe, redrawn by the authors and organized into ten distinct approaches to housing design. Bridging past and future, built form and experimental drawings, the book summons readers to reconsider housing not only as shelter, but as a critical framework for rethinking domesticity, civic identity, and urban life.

This volume invites architects, urbanists, and scholars to embrace collective housing as a critical arena for the design of the contemporary city--and for reexamine the terms of how we can dwell together.
