As often highlighted by architecture theorists and practitioners, the commodification of architecture has shifted the aim of this discipline from the provision of shelter to the generation of revenue. This project aims to develop a new approach to architecture that can restore this profession to its original meaning, starting from the concept of “home”. Stripped of its productive tasks, architecture can offer a lens to understand what home is, how it is used (and abused) by society, and how it could be used to change societal narratives. Presenting a series of episodes, each consisting of a text and an architectural folly, the project brings together personal stories with social issues, and spatial criticism with creative practice, by exploring family homes, stories of migration, and various temporalities of domestic space. It challenges notions of home ownership, home country, and of the primitive hut as archetypal home.
