Overview
Activism at Home offers a unique study of architects' own dwellings; homespurposely designed to express social, political, economic, and cultural critiques.Through thirty case studies by architectural scholars, this book highlights differentforms of activism at home from the early twentieth century to today. The architect-led experiments in activist living discussed in this book include the dwellingsof Ralph Erskine, Paulo Mendes Da Rocha, Charles Moore, Flora Ruchat-Roncati,Kiyoshi Seike, and many others.Offering candid appraisals of alternative living solutions that formulate a responseto rising real estate prices, economic inequality, social alienation, and mountingenvironmental and cultural challenges, Activism at Home is more than a historicalstudy; it is an appeal to architects to use the discipline's tools to their full potential,and a plea to scholars to continue bringing architecture's activist practices intofocus--whether at home or elsewhere.
