Lecture
This lecture delves into the architectural concepts of Dogma, focusing on the critical analysis of housing as a form of production and social containment. It explores the paradoxical nature of the 'destructive character' in architecture, as well as the possibilities of reinventing housing to reclaim the generic ethos of contemporary forms of life. The discussion extends to Lacaton & Vassal's approach to architecture, emphasizing the importance of creating generous, adaptable, and flexible spaces that offer freedom and comfort to inhabitants. The lecture also touches upon the transformation of office spaces into living and working units, challenging traditional norms and exploring the potential for radical social and political reinvention through architectural design.
