Abstract

This book is an in-depth history of collective living from around 1850 until today, identifying three motives for sharing housing -economic, political, and social- and providing detailed analysis of residential projects, which are divided into nine housing models. Through comparison of the reasons for establishment, different ways of use, evolutionary paths, and more, it becomes easy to visualize the various models and projects throughout their history and until today, demostrating how shared everyday life, intimacy in housing, and degrees of public access were shaped throughout Europe. This comprehensive presentation and analysis of typologies, house-holds, and lifestyles is combined with user and expert interviews to create a lexicon on the history of collective living. It is an incisive over-view that explores the architectural, sociological, and economic aspects of collective living.
