This lecture delves into the architectural type of the dormitory, tracing its evolution from collective spaces to individual sleeping units. By examining historical and cultural aspects, the instructor discusses the essence of dormitories as spaces that balance community and individuality. The conference explores the dormitory phenomenon from architectural, social, scientific, and political perspectives, aiming to extract lessons from this obsolete architectural type.
