We moved to ETSA UPV the exhibition COLLECTIVE LIVING produced by the students of TU Delft University. Dirk van den Heuvel, professor at TU Delft, attends the opening of the exhibition in the hall of ETSA.
Collective Living presents housing projects spanning the 19th century to the present day, exploring how architects, designers, and the inhabitants themselves have developed alternative concepts and designs from forms of oppression suffered over time – such as age, gender, and class.
Inspired by Kimberlé Crenshaw’s concept of intersectionality and Sara Ahmed’s theory of capitalist space construction, the exhibition explores how marginalized communities have generated alternative spatial practices to support each other and resist dominant systems.
Although most of the projects in this series were not originally conceived from an intersectional perspective, their practice reflects what V. Mitch McEwen calls “intersectional work.”
A good reference for the students of muHab of the Polytechnic University of Valencia, who at the end of the semester will also organize an exhibition on the case studies analyzed in the Case Laboratory, although this time focusing on the solutions that the Mediterranean coastal housing of the twentieth century presented to the climate.
