Comú[n]-[u]nidades. Paradojas del hábitat colectivo

Résumé

The first human being´s refuge is in common unity with the origin of their own existence. The awareness of common can be considered atavistic and ancestral, as well as the need for its physical materialization. Investigating through various paths of the forest; instinctive drifts through loneliness, property, temporality, necessity, or modernity, among others. An eternal dichotomy between the common of the units and the units of the common, between the plural and the singularities, between individuality and society. A montage of shared texts with expansion joints. Social and existential crises were places of opportunity to dismantle and, above all, to reassemble the puzzle´s pieces of coexistence in a different way. Through an atlas of associations and alternative collective habitat constructions with instruction books, a collage of compact and covenantal architectures. A tautological glossary of tolerant models of groupings for living together. Groupings of cells for anchorites in the desert of Upper Egypt. The Upper House and the Lower House at the Massif de la Chartreuse, gestation of the Carthusian Order. The Renaissance evolution of the Carthusian model in a dictionary written by Viollet-le- Duc. An exemplata copy of a manuscript with a logistical plan of the Benedictine monastery of Saint Gall. The treasure chambers of the family grain as extensions of the home in North Africa. The model of a harmonized "main square" in the idyllic American Indiana landscape. A Versailles palace under the control of the collective monarchy; finally built by a pragmatic industrialist for the families of workers of his stove factory in Guise. A piece of English county, the transoceanic RMS Lusitania as a floating bridge between continents. A modern American hotel, the Vanderbilt as a metropolitan offshoot for stable wealthy residents. The leviathan LZ-129 as a banner of Germanic technological domination. Studies on the Dom of the proletariat for a revolutionary new social order carried out by the Stroykom. The construction of an experimental dwelling for a transitional period, the Narkomfin. The project of a cruciform Dom Kommuna, together and segregated at the same time. Various test tubes made by Le Corbusier for modern man, grafted onto various reconstruction proposals and implanted with some genomic mutations at the Unité de Marseille. Mapping the vestiges of their own aspirations by composing a manhattan of reproductive non-conformist architectures.
