OverviewThe house has gone from being an individual affair to becoming the built element with the greatest impact on the planet. In this study, Fernanda Canales analyses the evolution of this space over the last two centuries through projects, exhibitions and books that have transformed the ways of inhabiting towards a collective understanding of housing. My House, Your City offers a journey through works that have attempted to solve the whole of life in a handful of square metres by challenging the limits between the public and the private, in an account that reveals the vastness of the universe of the domestic, that which is at stake when imagining one’s own worlds that are also worlds for others. This book expands the meaning of ‘house’ by dismantling three erroneous assumptions — the house as a place of rest separate from work, the house as an object of private property and the house as a sanctuary for the nuclear family — in favour of other formats of belonging, coexistence and use.
