Architectural Association School of Architecture | Studio Leader : Sam Jacoby Arguably nothing has shaped political subjectivities in modern societies more than housing. Housing has been weaponised: it has liberated as well as oppressed its subjects. Housing design had become instrumental to fostering social homogeneity, social equity, and social mobility. Housing was to create an industrious society and productive subjects. This built on the understanding that housing, through its architecture and planning, is capable of spatialising governmentality, of creating social and spatial forms that correlate and become a technology of government. we have to rethink shared activities, social infrastructures, and social networks of care needed in place of the family to draw and design new multi-generational housing models. Given these socio-economic and demographic changes, it is unsurprising to see a global rise of rhetoric by politicians, developers, and social and labour activists alike that make claims for community-led or community-controlled housing projects. It reflects on a shift from government to governance. Communal and collective housing projects have shaped different collective subjectivities in housing, which are increasingly gaining new importance in the way we have to design our cities and housing for changing constituencies beyond the nuclear family.
