Abstract:
The modern apartment is the index of a process that constructed the nuclear family as the ‘natural’ unit of Western society. This talk traces the genealogy through which the dwelling was scripted into a diagram of asymmetric relationships, separating production from reproduction and crystallising power hierarchies. Intimacy and love have been forced into a rigid heteronormative pattern, but is ultimately architecture the real villain of this ongoing story?
