Architecture [Re]Production

The design of housing is much more than the fulfillment of political or social policy and equally more than the static solutions of architectural typologies. To consider the places and spaces where the body dwells is to consider the movement and physicality of the body as well as its functions, constructs, and identity within its socio-political, cultural, and technological contexts. These parameters have become increasingly fluid and thus result in questions of the very definitions of “domestic” and “domesticity” as relating to the idea of home, household, or family. Hence, beginning with Kolbe’s Dancer to the work of contemporary choreographers, the studio examines contemporary issues of the body and identity, dwelling in the city including abled-bodies, dis-abled bodies, gendered and non-gender conforming bodies, and other abject and non-compliant bodies.
