Living is conceptually and definitively separated from work. This book argues against such a separation, countering the prevailing ideology of domesticity with a series of architectural projects that illustrate alternative approaches. Less a monograph than a treatise, richly illustrated, the book combines historical research and design proposals to reenvision home as a cooperative structure in which it is possible to live and work and in which labor is socialized beyond the family--freeing inhabitants from the sense of property and the burden of domestic labor. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe projects aim to move the house beyond the dichotomous logic of male\/female, husband\/wife, breadwinner\/housewife, and private\/public. They include the reinvention of single-room occupancy as a new model for affordable housing; the reimagining of the simple tower-and-plinth prototype as host to a multiplicity of work activities and enlivening street life; and a plan for a modular, adaptable structure meant to house a temporary dweller. All of these design projects conceive of the house not as a commodity, the form of which is determined by its exchange value, but as an infrastructure defined by its use value.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDogma is a Brussels-based architectural studio that focuses on urban design and large-scale projects.
