Summary:

"The house has gone from being an individual issue to becoming the most impactful built element on the planet. In this study, Fernanda Canales analyses the evolution of the living space over the last two centuries by discussing a wide range of designs, exhibitions and books that have defined the ways we live, taking us towards a collective understanding of the house. My House, Your City is a tour of the buildings that have tried to address life's problems in just a few square metres by first questioning the bounderies between the public and the private. The vastness of the domestic real is revealed, inlcuding all the factors in play when we imagine worlds of our own that are also worlds for others. This book expands the meaning of "house"' by breaking down three erroneous presumptions -- the house as a place of rest (separated from work), the house as private property, and the house as a sanctuary for the nuclear family -- and it proposes other formats of belonging, coexistence and use."--Back cover.
