‘Together! The New Architecture of the Collective’ provides an overview of contemporary public housing projects from contexts as diverse as Europe, Asia and the United States.
The exhibition catalog traces the history of this last collective turn in housing back to the utopian housing developments of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries and the first radical housing cooperative projects of the 1920s. The film tells the story of various protest movements against housing shortages and real estate speculation in many urban centers since the 1960s. A series of visual essays by photographer Daniel Burchard offers the reader an introduction to everyday domestic life in eight contemporary housing projects in Germany, Switzerland, Austria and Japan.
Critical essays by Andreas Hofer, Ethel Baraona Pohl, Anna Puigjaner, Robert Temel, Yuma Shinohara and the editors of this volume analyze the search for the collective as the decisive force in residential development from the beginning of modernism to the present day.
The catalog was designed by Something Fantastic in Berlin.
