introduction
on the act of undoing
on the act of undoing
The word ‘frame’ is ordinarily associated to
artwork, traditionally a painting on some sort
of canvas. It is what surrounds the piece of
art, the most important part of the object,
protects, and puts a limit to it. The frame
itself, usually a rigid structure, can be thick
or thin, it can fit the artwork or leave a space
around it. It generally does not interfere with
the artwork. Outside the frame, there is no art,
it is just a plain wall. The art is what you must
see and take notice and is contained inside the
frame.
Other definitions of the term are related to a
‘structure that underlies or supports a system,
concept, or text’. In linguistics it is a ‘a feature
which marks a transition from one section of
discourse to another’. In simpler terms it can
also be defined as an ‘enclosing border’, which
means there is something in and something
out of the frame. Therefore, we can say a
frame is a limit that also gives support to a
certain content of interest.
Architecture as a complex body of knowledge
has been framing itself and its conceptual
discussions for hundreds of years. It is a way
for the discipline to put certain limits to its
discourse and make it explicit and digestible to
the rest of the society. The process of framing
as a means to organize, filter and communicate
information is not exclusive of architecture
but to all the fields of knowledge.
In the topic of collective housing, most of the
existing frames that enable us to understand
the subject, come from modern architecture.
Still today, many of what is taught in schools
of architecture related to housing refer to
modernism and its legacy. For example, the
idea of organizing buildings through typology
of the units or its urban form is inherited
from that period.
What happens when the frame comes before
the content?
In some sense it is what is happening in the last
decades with collective housing architecture.
There are so many social, economic, and
political forces surrounding the issue of
housing that having the ‘frame’ before even
thinkingof theproject,hasbecomeanefficient
approach to design. The content then will fit
the frame, hopefully with some proportions
or minimum level of aesthetics and detail.
This 100-year-old frame thus, becomes a
fixed boundary in the field of knowledge that
prevents from looking at what is happening
at the rest of the wall or the gallery if the
introduction
on the act of undoing
05
simile holds. Maybe the wall is being occupied
by someone else, or maybe there is no wall
anymore and we can’t notice it.
We propose there is a need to unframe
collective housing.
The act of unframing is in fact an act of
destruction. You need to tear down the limits
that prevents from looking outside the frame.
It is a process of undoing and redoing over
and over again. This modern frame is so old
that it can be a piece of artwork itself, studied
and admired as a piece of history.
Do we need frames at all to understand
architecture and collective housing?
Is it possible to draw the frame around the
content?
Can frames be more temporary or virtual,
decaying or appearing over time?
Can the frame become part of the content, or
the content include its own frame?
Is the frame affected by the eye of the
beholder?
Can artificial intelligence define these frames
with data and prescind completely from
human participation?
Can a frame be permeable and adapt itself to
a changing content?
Is there a chance to continue producing
content-less frames to tackle the worldwide
housing crisis?
This collection of books presents the
unframing of collective housing addressing
some of these issues by five students of
the 2022 edition of the MCH (Master of
Collective Housing) individually.
Each one is the result of a personal process
through the seven workshops and eight
specialties that comprise the programme. The
selection of works, organization, graphics has
been curated by each author according to the
subject (or new frame) of interest. In neither
case is the investigation complete, but only
the start of inquiries that can be applied and
followed into hopefully prolific academic or
professional territories. This is only the initial
spark of which the MCH has been the catalyst.
The students are in alphabetical order:
Alexandre De Rungs, Andrew Georges,
Bettina Kagelmacher, Jorge Sanchez Bajo,
Andrés Solano.

introduction
informality
informality
One of the master’s first days I heard this
sentence mentioned by another colleague:
“Close to 90% of housing building in the
world are not built by architects”. I tried
to figure out the source of that data, but it
was impossible to check it out. So, I cannot
assume that it is true but, in my mind, it is.
And it is because I change my way of
thinking after that. Because I realised that
we are missing out on a lot of architecture.
Sometimes mental imaginaries are more
powerful than the data itself, and just because
they are not data, they do not cease to be
true. This conclusion is something that comes
out to me at the end of the master’s degree
perhaps when I started to think of this booklet.
In order to break the current framework
in architecture, this first question arises:
Why things made by no architects
could be exciting for our working?
That which Georges Perec (2008:23) defined
as “what happens every day, the trivial, the
everyday, the obvious, the commonplace, the
ordinary, the infra-ordinary, the background
noise, the habitual.” For it seems that we
only look at what he calls events, i.e., what
we see published in architectural magazines,
but not at what is done by other architects
(without a career) who bring a lot of beauty
and common sense to their buildings.
For this very reason, this booklet is
intended as a review of the work conducted
during this year, focusing on something
that has always caught my attention, the
informal actions in any type of settlement.
First of all, and for the sake of clarification,
this document does not intend architects
to copy what exists, or to use systems that
themselves are or have been failed, but quite
the opposite, that we are able to keep our
eyes more open than ever and learn from
I AM AN
INTERESTING HOUSE
introduction
informality
07
people’s intuition, that perhaps we unlearn
the profession and remember ourselves
as ordinary people, who want to live in
pleasant, free, sensual, resilient, etc. spaces.
Looking at how people build their own homes
and observing them with value is nothing
new, as Bernard Rudofsky discussed in his
1964 exhibition at the Moma in New York,
entitled “Architecture without architects”.
Or I could also highlight, this in another
field but with a great relation, the studies,
and writings about the “Third Landscape”
by the French landscape architect Gilles
Clement, considering these residual spaces
or abandoned places as “margins that gather
a biological diversity that is not understood
as wealth. It is a space that expresses neither
power nor submission to power” (2018:12).
Or the magnificent books by the Spanish
architect and photographer Carlos Flores
about Popular Architecture in Spain
which include a multitude of photographs
of this type of no author buildings,
published in the 1970s, among others.
Therefore, the aim of this work is not to
discover the wheel, but only to show how
collective housing projects have been able to
develop in whose conception informality (well
seen) has been an indispensable part from their
origin, without underestimating the rest of the
pressures or adjacent ideas in these projects.
Moreover, as the reader will be able to
discover, the results achieved are nothing like
the references conceived, quite the contrary,
what has been sought is to get to the essence
of these typologies, dwellings, attitudes,
and to think them as little as possible
like how an architect would think them.
Because as Zumthor mentions “if the
project repeats what the place points out to
it beforehand, in my opinion, the project is
lacking the confrontation with the world, the
eradication of the contemporary” (Zumthor,
2016:41). Without confronting the project
with the place, it would make the place
static. In the end, one has to make that leap
into reality that is the project, showing your
point of view. But without trying to lose the
essence of things, and this is achieved by
analysing what exists and understanding it.
This story will be told through twelve
projects (workshops and specialities) carried
out this year will be developed, focusing on
different topics that come from the informal,
explaining in each one the main concept
through images, plans and small texts.

objects (and other pieces)
“Family Stuff” Photography Serie, Huang Quingjun, 2003.
People love objects. It is impossible to imagine a home without objects.
The first thing you do when you visit someone else’s house is to look at
their objects. And this gives you a general idea of what sort of people
they are. Objects are objective. They are what they are and say what
they say. But they are also evocative, they make us dream, they make us
feel, and apart from occupying a space, they are space in themselves.

A house, whatever it is, is made up of different rooms, which have been
given name to define them. It seems that putting their name on a floor
plan mean that people will live that way, but this is not true. What really
defines a room are the objects, you can move them around, and everything
changes, even some of them, especially technological devices, make it
possible to change spaces without moving. It is not a room; it is just objects.

making do and getting by
“Making Do and Getting By” Artbook, Richard Wentworth, 2015.
People tend to tinker with their homes. Some people are good at bricolage
and some people are bad at it, but it is something you come across sooner
or later when you live in a house. There will always come a time when
you have to solve something, and you will have to choose for yourself
how to leave it. There are times when very bad resolved things give a lot
of problems and other times they stay at home for years. Do it yourself.

People do not act like architects. When they fix up their houses, they do
not want it to be seen that they have fixed them up. They want them to
blend in with what was there. They do not want anyone to notice that
they did something, even if they are proud of it. Architects do have this
mentality of being noticed, of being seen as something new or modern,
but they do not really do it for the space, they actually do it for themselves.

agreements and conflicts
agreements and conflicts
People either love or hate their neighbours, there is no in-between. But
there is one thing much worse and sadly increasingly common, and that
is indifference. The relationship with neighbours has its idiosyncrasies.
But this is something that does not happen with the rest of the people
in our daily lives. With the rest we are more benevolent, you do not
consider what they think, in fact it is not important in our human relations,
we do not prejudge them, but we do with our neighbours. It is funny,
it is as if living near our house we feel this primitive sense of danger.
But it is fine to have a few agreements or disagreements with someone
a day. It is said that without conflict there is not a real community. It
is often the only way to move forward, not doing what is established,
but we seem to have decided to skip it. So, we think of the neighbour
as someone to avoid and we architects are the ones who design it.

spreading out as much as possible
spreading out as much as possible
“Toronto” Project, Tadashi Kawamata, 1989.
People often fill the space they have, nowadays even more. People have the
house they can afford. If they had more money, they would buy a bigger
house. If they could save for a renovation or even an extension, they
would do it without hesitation. If they could have two houses, they would.
If they can try to make a tall house, they try. If there were no planning
restrictions, they would fill it all up. They even have things they cannot
afford. There are no limits for them. They always want more than what
they have. It is something they carry in their genes. They seem to behave
like moss or damp, they start in the corners and try to take over everything.
Even as far as the sky. Thinking about it, it is curious that the only urban
planning restriction that regulates height buildings in Tokyo is the right
to sunlight for the rest of the neighbours. It can be banned, regulated,
or accepted, but it is something that will always happen everywhere.

a question of time
a question of time
Pictures of the surroundings of Kila (Split) from Google Maps, 2022.
People’s homes are never finished on time, they are always evolving.
It takes a lifetime to have the house of your dreams and not everyone
achieves it. There is always something to change or update. My daughter is
divorced and needs a room for a while, I need an office to work at home,
my wife wants to build a greenhouse, the roof leaks, we are going to have
two children, the terrace needs to be covered, and so on for a lifetime.
workshop 05
a question of time
63
How can the feeling of home be summed up? It takes something to get
it, something that is in short supply these days, it takes time. The key is
the time. But of course, it is not the only one. You need to be able to
connect with the space, to feel that you are free in it, to feel that it belongs
to you, to feel that you can do with it what you want, or maybe none of
this and it is unexplainable. But space certainly influences our feelings.

la corrala
la corrala
“La maison des locataires” Photomontage , Robert Doisneau, 1962.
The corridor house was a failure at the time
for many reasons, mainly privacy issues, but
it should not be a dead housing typology. In
our days it is usual not to know the neighbour,
not to interact with him, practically a hello
and goodbye in the lift, la corrala demands a
jump from people, it demands interest in the
other, but also to show oneself vulnerable to
the other. Perhaps something that la corrala
brought to the city previously. Trying to get
two neighbours to get to know each other
better through the space should not be a bad
idea by rescuing this typology from oblivion.

La corrala is nothing more than rooms facing a patio and connected by a corridor.

workshop 06
la corrala
The essence of la corrala lies in these two operations - it is not just the result; it is its process.
La corrala as a consequence of three transformations.
from a single-family house
to a collective house
spontaneous and organic growth
of the medieval city
from the countryside
to the city’s constraints
conversion of the public space
into a semi-private space due to its shape
from one level house
to growing in height
sometimes a building was built at the

repetition and variation
repetition and variation
People’s houses look like each other. They resemble their owners but also
their neighbours. Everyone looks at his neighbour and somehow copies
something from him. But there is something beautiful in this varied
repetition, each time they try to do the same thing but in a different way,
as if it were the first time. Some people call it tradition. But it takes no
more than following intuition. If you arrive to a new place and you do
not know anyone, you try to blend in with them, you try to copy their
language, their gestures, and so on. It is something you do instinctively.
All this is translated architecturally in the facades, in the small variations
of the same with slightly different floor heights (due to the imperfections
of the workers), similar dimensions of gaps (due to the technique), similar
locksmiths or joinery (due to the guilds), slightly different finishes (for
tastes the colours) but from a distance they all look equally beautiful.

la barraca
Informal settlements, in this case barracas, in
this case in Barcelona, are not only dwellings
or spaces but also ways of life in themselves.
They are like putting a house on the street
because there is no other possible place. They
are dwellings shaped by everyday actions, and
mainly by the level of poverty of their owners.
Even so, they are basic housing typologies
based on the intuition of their owners. Based
on getting by as best as you can, with what you
have around, with what you think might work,
and if it does not, that is okey because you
can try again, change it and do it differently.

la minga
“Minga de Tenaún” (Chiloé, Chile) Photography, Rodoluca, 2010.
La minga is not just an anecdotal thing that happens in the south of Chile.
It is a celebration. When a neighbour decides to move, he moves his own
house. Sometimes undismantled and sometimes dismantled, sometimes
even with the furniture inside intact. As if nothing changed from the
inside, as if the world looked the same. But of course, it is impossible
to do it alone, he needs the rest, he needs a community. It is something
that is done with everyone and for everyone. But not only that, it is a real
party, in exchange for the help, a big feast is prepared for everyone. It is a
celebration when someone wants to move to another place. But it is not
a goodbye, it is a see you later, because they will never forget what he did
for them nor he what they did for him. Everyone will be aware they have
got a home, and that that home can be moved and that not because of
it being moved they do not have one. You can have even more than one.

But this tradition, like the real ones, does not remain in the past. They
have been technologically updated, from the oxen moving the houses
to today’s boats and tractors. But they are still treated as an event, the
changes do not hide the true essence of it. The journey is very long, and
you have to calculate the number of days, the number of items in the
house, the dimensions of the items to fit in the trucks, the number of
trucks you need, the amount of food you need to buy for the meal and
check the weather forecast. Everything has to be well planned. We forgot
to mention, and this is especially important, that we also have to think
about the skills of the workers, the techniques they are used to, or at
least leave everything well set up for them. A bit of patience is needed
for the imperfections that will appear, as the building will not turn
out like in the plans. But that is all right, it might even be better for it.

Pictures of the surroundings of Chácara Florida (Sao Paulo) from Google Maps, 2022.
People have what they can afford to have. There are places where what
exists is what you have, no more. No expectations just to live for today,
not to think about tomorrow. Places where the street and the house are
the same thing because de house is not big enough and the street is not
safe enough, where the work and live happen in the same places. Places
where the only thing that can be offered is the basics, the urgent, a shelter.

It is not only the needs of the individual that have an influence on the
decision to change your own home. Although they are important there
are also other influences. You have to take into account also the dreams,
the desires to become someone different, someone better, or at least look
like one. But also, the fears of no longer being you anymore or being
someone else. This is not a simple mental process as one might suppose.

somehow reusing (the place)
somehow reusing (the place)
People do not tend to like abrupt changes. They enjoy continuity. Many are able to stick with
things that are half-broken or malfunctioning but do not fall down or get in the way. And if
they happen to be able to reuse them fixing another problem, so much better. But they know
what was in there before, what they had to do to change it. They know the past of things; they
remember because they had to come up with solutions for those things. It is another thing to
have into account, to value these things, to know the past of places and things. here is some
kind of memory in the places that remains in people’s unconscious. everyone remembers
that building where those last stores failed, and this specific place usually remains in people’s
imaginary as kind of cursed. Trivial things that remain in the collective imaginary. There are
even buildings which are demolished and very few people remember what happened in them,
important or unremarkable things, but things after all, and it is good to remember them. On
the other hand, we architects only show respect for the work of another architect if he was
or is known, and not for the many anonymous architects who have built very good buildings.

final thoughts
This section is not intended as a conclusion
to the work carried out, as it is considered
something that is still alive, in process and too
early to obtain any kind of result, so we would
like to present some reflections that have arisen
duringthisprocess.Andrightnow,Ifeellikeitis
somethingthatisgoingtocontinueinmymind.
Learning from the informal does not mean
being less purist, less refined, or what is the
same according to the architects themselves,
being less of an architect. Since you have to
notice that an architect has made something.
It could rather be said that during this process
of analysing the projects carried out from this
point of view, a process of unlearning has
taken place. Unlearning through informality,
through the intuitive actions of the people, of
those who live their houses every day, those
who invent typologies all the time, those
who make barbarities that then grant identity.
To unlearn to give importance to many things
that probably did not have them, and others,
that really are what matter, what make the
difference,toputthemintheplacetheydeserve.
As an example of this I can comment that my
way of seeing architecture has changed, it has
focused more on ethics and less on aesthetics,
it is something that I hope I manage not to
lose although I am aware of how difficult
it is, but I have noticed a loss of fear that
things are not perfect but that they improve
the conditions of those who live in them.
Or for example, more interest in the process
than in the final result, knowing how to be able
tosayenoughisenoughwhenyouaredesigning
something without losing any commitment,
interest, or desire for perfectionism.
I have to admit that Anne Lacaton has
a lot to do with all this, the workshop
with her was a turning point in my way
of thinking, which is why it can be seen
that behind all this change are some of the
reflections made by them, for example the
one in the magazine El Croquis (2015:10):
“As architects, we have our own interests, but
it is important to consider that the inhabitant
final thoughts
final thoughts
171
does a job after you. It is a question of where
to stop, where to finish the project and how
much freedom you give the inhabitant. The
space should not impose a particular lifestyle,
and you do not have to project everything;
you just have to provide a potential space
to be appropriated and used. If you provide
enough qualities and a wide spectrum of
possibilities, there will be a maximum of
opportunities and the project will assume to be
changed, transformed and re-appropriated.”
In this case the changes would be made
possible by the architecture and produced by
the inhabitants themselves, the updating that
is tradition (“repeating and perfecting, (...) the
same gesture, the same object, the same detail,
the same solution, (...) the same typology,
or the same material” (El Croquis, 2018:8)),
something that is changing little by little, so
little by little that people still call it tradition
and that people themselves are part of it, and
it is considered key to creating those feelings
of belonging and community in places.
Perhaps it is just writing on one’s hand,
paraphrasing Heidegger (2015), that building
is inhabiting as inhabiting is building.
Recognise themselves as important, the
inhabitant and the architect. And to know that
you are just one more in the development,
that maybe your role is less than what you
expect and want, being the one they need.
As an aside, I could say that housing is not
the same anymore, also my way of seeing
architecture without an author. So I would
like to sum up all this feelings and thoughts,
and especially this process of unlearning
developed during this year, with a short
quote from the Portuguese architect Álvaro
Siza about the issue of housing (2006):
“The house is me and us, as one wishes”.

  • 4. 04 introduction on the act of undoing on the act of undoing The word ‘frame’ is ordinarily associated to artwork, traditionally a painting on some sort of canvas. It is what surrounds the piece of art, the most important part of the object, protects, and puts a limit to it. The frame itself, usually a rigid structure, can be thick or thin, it can fit the artwork or leave a space around it. It generally does not interfere with the artwork. Outside the frame, there is no art, it is just a plain wall. The art is what you must see and take notice and is contained inside the frame. Other definitions of the term are related to a ‘structure that underlies or supports a system, concept, or text’. In linguistics it is a ‘a feature which marks a transition from one section of discourse to another’. In simpler terms it can also be defined as an ‘enclosing border’, which means there is something in and something out of the frame. Therefore, we can say a frame is a limit that also gives support to a certain content of interest. Architecture as a complex body of knowledge has been framing itself and its conceptual discussions for hundreds of years. It is a way for the discipline to put certain limits to its discourse and make it explicit and digestible to the rest of the society. The process of framing as a means to organize, filter and communicate information is not exclusive of architecture but to all the fields of knowledge. In the topic of collective housing, most of the existing frames that enable us to understand the subject, come from modern architecture. Still today, many of what is taught in schools of architecture related to housing refer to modernism and its legacy. For example, the idea of organizing buildings through typology of the units or its urban form is inherited from that period. What happens when the frame comes before the content? In some sense it is what is happening in the last decades with collective housing architecture. There are so many social, economic, and political forces surrounding the issue of housing that having the ‘frame’ before even thinkingof theproject,hasbecomeanefficient approach to design. The content then will fit the frame, hopefully with some proportions or minimum level of aesthetics and detail. This 100-year-old frame thus, becomes a fixed boundary in the field of knowledge that prevents from looking at what is happening at the rest of the wall or the gallery if the
  • 5. introduction on the act of undoing 05 simile holds. Maybe the wall is being occupied by someone else, or maybe there is no wall anymore and we can’t notice it. We propose there is a need to unframe collective housing. The act of unframing is in fact an act of destruction. You need to tear down the limits that prevents from looking outside the frame. It is a process of undoing and redoing over and over again. This modern frame is so old that it can be a piece of artwork itself, studied and admired as a piece of history. Do we need frames at all to understand architecture and collective housing? Is it possible to draw the frame around the content? Can frames be more temporary or virtual, decaying or appearing over time? Can the frame become part of the content, or the content include its own frame? Is the frame affected by the eye of the beholder? Can artificial intelligence define these frames with data and prescind completely from human participation? Can a frame be permeable and adapt itself to a changing content? Is there a chance to continue producing content-less frames to tackle the worldwide housing crisis? This collection of books presents the unframing of collective housing addressing some of these issues by five students of the 2022 edition of the MCH (Master of Collective Housing) individually. Each one is the result of a personal process through the seven workshops and eight specialties that comprise the programme. The selection of works, organization, graphics has been curated by each author according to the subject (or new frame) of interest. In neither case is the investigation complete, but only the start of inquiries that can be applied and followed into hopefully prolific academic or professional territories. This is only the initial spark of which the MCH has been the catalyst. The students are in alphabetical order: Alexandre De Rungs, Andrew Georges, Bettina Kagelmacher, Jorge Sanchez Bajo, Andrés Solano.
  • 6. 06 introduction informality informality One of the master’s first days I heard this sentence mentioned by another colleague: “Close to 90% of housing building in the world are not built by architects”. I tried to figure out the source of that data, but it was impossible to check it out. So, I cannot assume that it is true but, in my mind, it is. And it is because I change my way of thinking after that. Because I realised that we are missing out on a lot of architecture. Sometimes mental imaginaries are more powerful than the data itself, and just because they are not data, they do not cease to be true. This conclusion is something that comes out to me at the end of the master’s degree perhaps when I started to think of this booklet. In order to break the current framework in architecture, this first question arises: Why things made by no architects could be exciting for our working? That which Georges Perec (2008:23) defined as “what happens every day, the trivial, the everyday, the obvious, the commonplace, the ordinary, the infra-ordinary, the background noise, the habitual.” For it seems that we only look at what he calls events, i.e., what we see published in architectural magazines, but not at what is done by other architects (without a career) who bring a lot of beauty and common sense to their buildings. For this very reason, this booklet is intended as a review of the work conducted during this year, focusing on something that has always caught my attention, the informal actions in any type of settlement. First of all, and for the sake of clarification, this document does not intend architects to copy what exists, or to use systems that themselves are or have been failed, but quite the opposite, that we are able to keep our eyes more open than ever and learn from I AM AN INTERESTING HOUSE
  • 7. introduction informality 07 people’s intuition, that perhaps we unlearn the profession and remember ourselves as ordinary people, who want to live in pleasant, free, sensual, resilient, etc. spaces. Looking at how people build their own homes and observing them with value is nothing new, as Bernard Rudofsky discussed in his 1964 exhibition at the Moma in New York, entitled “Architecture without architects”. Or I could also highlight, this in another field but with a great relation, the studies, and writings about the “Third Landscape” by the French landscape architect Gilles Clement, considering these residual spaces or abandoned places as “margins that gather a biological diversity that is not understood as wealth. It is a space that expresses neither power nor submission to power” (2018:12). Or the magnificent books by the Spanish architect and photographer Carlos Flores about Popular Architecture in Spain which include a multitude of photographs of this type of no author buildings, published in the 1970s, among others. Therefore, the aim of this work is not to discover the wheel, but only to show how collective housing projects have been able to develop in whose conception informality (well seen) has been an indispensable part from their origin, without underestimating the rest of the pressures or adjacent ideas in these projects. Moreover, as the reader will be able to discover, the results achieved are nothing like the references conceived, quite the contrary, what has been sought is to get to the essence of these typologies, dwellings, attitudes, and to think them as little as possible like how an architect would think them. Because as Zumthor mentions “if the project repeats what the place points out to it beforehand, in my opinion, the project is lacking the confrontation with the world, the eradication of the contemporary” (Zumthor, 2016:41). Without confronting the project with the place, it would make the place static. In the end, one has to make that leap into reality that is the project, showing your point of view. But without trying to lose the essence of things, and this is achieved by analysing what exists and understanding it. This story will be told through twelve projects (workshops and specialities) carried out this year will be developed, focusing on different topics that come from the informal, explaining in each one the main concept through images, plans and small texts.
  • 8. 08 workshop 01 objects (and other pieces) objects (and other pieces) “Family Stuff” Photography Serie, Huang Quingjun, 2003. People love objects. It is impossible to imagine a home without objects. The first thing you do when you visit someone else’s house is to look at their objects. And this gives you a general idea of what sort of people they are. Objects are objective. They are what they are and say what they say. But they are also evocative, they make us dream, they make us feel, and apart from occupying a space, they are space in themselves.
  • 9. workshop 01 objects (and other pieces) 09 A house, whatever it is, is made up of different rooms, which have been given name to define them. It seems that putting their name on a floor plan mean that people will live that way, but this is not true. What really defines a room are the objects, you can move them around, and everything changes, even some of them, especially technological devices, make it possible to change spaces without moving. It is not a room; it is just objects. - What do objects need for people to use them? -- Architecture. -

  • 20. 20 workshop 02 making do and getting by making do and getting by “Making Do and Getting By” Artbook, Richard Wentworth, 2015. People tend to tinker with their homes. Some people are good at bricolage and some people are bad at it, but it is something you come across sooner or later when you live in a house. There will always come a time when you have to solve something, and you will have to choose for yourself how to leave it. There are times when very bad resolved things give a lot of problems and other times they stay at home for years. Do it yourself.
  • 21. workshop 02 making do and getting by 21 People do not act like architects. When they fix up their houses, they do not want it to be seen that they have fixed them up. They want them to blend in with what was there. They do not want anyone to notice that they did something, even if they are proud of it. Architects do have this mentality of being noticed, of being seen as something new or modern, but they do not really do it for the space, they actually do it for themselves. continent + content existing shelter sunlight from the top diversity of spaces growth potential no new foundations exterior-interior comfort taking advantage of the train station

  • 40. 40 workshop 03 agreements and conflicts agreements and conflicts People either love or hate their neighbours, there is no in-between. But there is one thing much worse and sadly increasingly common, and that is indifference. The relationship with neighbours has its idiosyncrasies. But this is something that does not happen with the rest of the people in our daily lives. With the rest we are more benevolent, you do not consider what they think, in fact it is not important in our human relations, we do not prejudge them, but we do with our neighbours. It is funny, it is as if living near our house we feel this primitive sense of danger. But it is fine to have a few agreements or disagreements with someone a day. It is said that without conflict there is not a real community. It is often the only way to move forward, not doing what is established, but we seem to have decided to skip it. So, we think of the neighbour as someone to avoid and we architects are the ones who design it. “Untitled” Photography, Ramón Masats, Tomelloso, 1959.

  • 48. 48 workshop 04 spreading out as much as possible spreading out as much as possible “Toronto” Project, Tadashi Kawamata, 1989. People often fill the space they have, nowadays even more. People have the house they can afford. If they had more money, they would buy a bigger house. If they could save for a renovation or even an extension, they would do it without hesitation. If they could have two houses, they would. If they can try to make a tall house, they try. If there were no planning restrictions, they would fill it all up. They even have things they cannot afford. There are no limits for them. They always want more than what they have. It is something they carry in their genes. They seem to behave like moss or damp, they start in the corners and try to take over everything. Even as far as the sky. Thinking about it, it is curious that the only urban planning restriction that regulates height buildings in Tokyo is the right to sunlight for the rest of the neighbours. It can be banned, regulated, or accepted, but it is something that will always happen everywhere.

  • 62. 62 workshop 05 a question of time a question of time Pictures of the surroundings of Kila (Split) from Google Maps, 2022. People’s homes are never finished on time, they are always evolving. It takes a lifetime to have the house of your dreams and not everyone achieves it. There is always something to change or update. My daughter is divorced and needs a room for a while, I need an office to work at home, my wife wants to build a greenhouse, the roof leaks, we are going to have two children, the terrace needs to be covered, and so on for a lifetime.
  • 63. workshop 05 a question of time 63 How can the feeling of home be summed up? It takes something to get it, something that is in short supply these days, it takes time. The key is the time. But of course, it is not the only one. You need to be able to connect with the space, to feel that you are free in it, to feel that it belongs to you, to feel that you can do with it what you want, or maybe none of this and it is unexplainable. But space certainly influences our feelings. capacity of APPROPRIATION type of OWNERSHIP sense of BELONGING HOME IDENTITY

The corridor house was a failure at the time for many reasons, mainly privacy issues, but it should not be a dead housing typology. In our days it is usual not to know the neighbour, not to interact with him, practically a hello and goodbye in the lift, la corrala demands a jump from people, it demands interest in the other, but also to show oneself vulnerable to the other. Perhaps something that la corrala brought to the city previously. Trying to get two neighbours to get to know each other better through the space should not be a bad idea by rescuing this typology from oblivion.

La corrala as a consequence of three transformations. from a single-family house to a collective house spontaneous and organic growth of the medieval city from the countryside to the city’s constraints conversion of the public space into a semi-private space due to its shape from one level house to growing in height sometimes a building was built at the entrance to reinforce this privacy Social attitude: origins of la corrala as a collective house (Islamic Adarve).

Everyone looks at his neighbour and somehow copies something from him. But there is something beautiful in this varied repetition, each time they try to do the same thing but in a different way, as if it were the first time. Some people call it tradition. But it takes no more than following intuition. If you arrive to a new place and you do not know anyone, you try to blend in with them, you try to copy their language, their gestures, and so on. It is something you do instinctively. All this is translated architecturally in the facades, in the small variations of the same with slightly different floor heights (due to the imperfections of the workers), similar dimensions of gaps (due to the technique), similar locksmiths or joinery (due to the guilds), slightly different finishes (for tastes the colours) but from a distance they all look equally beautiful. “Untitled” Photomontage from Domus Magazine, José Antonio Coderch, 1961.

  • 118. 118 climate, metabolism architecture la barraca la barraca Informal settlements, in this case barracas, in this case in Barcelona, are not only dwellings or spaces but also ways of life in themselves. They are like putting a house on the street because there is no other possible place. They are dwellings shaped by everyday actions, and mainly by the level of poverty of their owners. Even so, they are basic housing typologies based on the intuition of their owners. Based on getting by as best as you can, with what you have around, with what you think might work, and if it does not, that is okey because you can try again, change it and do it differently.

Rammed earth screen walls promote air flow and allow self-breathing during the summer. Wicker cover in the canopy to control the sunlight. In-Between spaces to allow better control of thermal comfort. Thermal curtains to retain the return of solar radiation during winter. In summer, the opening of the skylight allows warmair to be released from the rooms. During winter, it will retain the heat inside the rooms. The high thermal inertia of the vegetation roof reduces heat loss, conserving heat during winter nights. Polished concrete flooring allows the heat generated by the sunlight to be retained during the night. North patios generate different microclimates while reducing the effect of winter wind.

It is a celebration. When a neighbour decides to move, he moves his own house. Sometimes undismantled and sometimes dismantled, sometimes even with the furniture inside intact. As if nothing changed from the inside, as if the world looked the same. But of course, it is impossible to do it alone, he needs the rest, he needs a community. It is something that is done with everyone and for everyone. But not only that, it is a real party, in exchange for the help, a big feast is prepared for everyone. It is a celebration when someone wants to move to another place. But it is not a goodbye, it is a see you later, because they will never forget what he did for them nor he what they did for him. Everyone will be aware they have got a home, and that that home can be moved and that not because of it being moved they do not have one. You can have even more than one.
  • 135. construction technology la minga 135 But this tradition, like the real ones, does not remain in the past. They have been technologically updated, from the oxen moving the houses to today’s boats and tractors. But they are still treated as an event, the changes do not hide the true essence of it. The journey is very long, and you have to calculate the number of days, the number of items in the house, the dimensions of the items to fit in the trucks, the number of trucks you need, the amount of food you need to buy for the meal and check the weather forecast. Everything has to be well planned. We forgot to mention, and this is especially important, that we also have to think about the skills of the workers, the techniques they are used to, or at least leave everything well set up for them. A bit of patience is needed for the imperfections that will appear, as the building will not turn out like in the plans. But that is all right, it might even be better for it. 13,55 2,60 2,95

People have what they can afford to have. There are places where what exists is what you have, no more. No expectations just to live for today, not to think about tomorrow. Places where the street and the house are the same thing because de house is not big enough and the street is not safe enough, where the work and live happen in the same places. Places where the only thing that can be offered is the basics, the urgent, a shelter.

But also, the fears of no longer being you anymore or being someone else. This is not a simple mental process as one might suppose.

Many are able to stick with things that are half-broken or malfunctioning but do not fall down or get in the way. And if they happen to be able to reuse them fixing another problem, so much better. But they know what was in there before, what they had to do to change it. They know the past of things; they remember because they had to come up with solutions for those things. It is another thing to have into account, to value these things, to know the past of places and things. here is some kind of memory in the places that remains in people’s unconscious. everyone remembers that building where those last stores failed, and this specific place usually remains in people’s imaginary as kind of cursed. Trivial things that remain in the collective imaginary. There are even buildings which are demolished and very few people remember what happened in them, important or unremarkable things, but things after all, and it is good to remember them. On the other hand, we architects only show respect for the work of another architect if he was or is known, and not for the many anonymous architects who have built very good buildings.

  • 170. 170 final thoughts final thoughts final thoughts This section is not intended as a conclusion to the work carried out, as it is considered something that is still alive, in process and too early to obtain any kind of result, so we would like to present some reflections that have arisen duringthisprocess.Andrightnow,Ifeellikeitis somethingthatisgoingtocontinueinmymind. Learning from the informal does not mean being less purist, less refined, or what is the same according to the architects themselves, being less of an architect. Since you have to notice that an architect has made something. It could rather be said that during this process of analysing the projects carried out from this point of view, a process of unlearning has taken place. Unlearning through informality, through the intuitive actions of the people, of those who live their houses every day, those who invent typologies all the time, those who make barbarities that then grant identity. To unlearn to give importance to many things that probably did not have them, and others, that really are what matter, what make the difference,toputthemintheplacetheydeserve. As an example of this I can comment that my way of seeing architecture has changed, it has focused more on ethics and less on aesthetics, it is something that I hope I manage not to lose although I am aware of how difficult it is, but I have noticed a loss of fear that things are not perfect but that they improve the conditions of those who live in them. Or for example, more interest in the process than in the final result, knowing how to be able tosayenoughisenoughwhenyouaredesigning something without losing any commitment, interest, or desire for perfectionism. I have to admit that Anne Lacaton has a lot to do with all this, the workshop with her was a turning point in my way of thinking, which is why it can be seen that behind all this change are some of the reflections made by them, for example the one in the magazine El Croquis (2015:10): “As architects, we have our own interests, but it is important to consider that the inhabitant
  • 171. final thoughts final thoughts 171 does a job after you. It is a question of where to stop, where to finish the project and how much freedom you give the inhabitant. The space should not impose a particular lifestyle, and you do not have to project everything; you just have to provide a potential space to be appropriated and used. If you provide enough qualities and a wide spectrum of possibilities, there will be a maximum of opportunities and the project will assume to be changed, transformed and re-appropriated.” In this case the changes would be made possible by the architecture and produced by the inhabitants themselves, the updating that is tradition (“repeating and perfecting, (...) the same gesture, the same object, the same detail, the same solution, (...) the same typology, or the same material” (El Croquis, 2018:8)), something that is changing little by little, so little by little that people still call it tradition and that people themselves are part of it, and it is considered key to creating those feelings of belonging and community in places. Perhaps it is just writing on one’s hand, paraphrasing Heidegger (2015), that building is inhabiting as inhabiting is building. Recognise themselves as important, the inhabitant and the architect. And to know that you are just one more in the development, that maybe your role is less than what you expect and want, being the one they need. As an aside, I could say that housing is not the same anymore, also my way of seeing architecture without an author. So I would like to sum up all this feelings and thoughts, and especially this process of unlearning developed during this year, with a short quote from the Portuguese architect Álvaro Siza about the issue of housing (2006): “The house is me and us, as one wishes”.
