The house has shifted from an individual concern to one of the built elements with the greatest impact on the planet. In this book, Fernanda Canales examines its evolution over the last two centuries through projects, exhibitions, and publications that have shaped a collective understanding of dwelling.
My House, Your City explores works that challenge the boundaries between public and private and seek to resolve life within a few square meters. The book expands the meaning of “house” by questioning the ideas of home as a place of rest, private property, and a sanctuary for the nuclear family, proposing new forms of belonging, coexistence, and use.
