Collective Living and the Architectural Imaginary: A New Book by Felipe Correa et al.

The book 'Collective Living and the Architectural Imaginary', authored by Felipe Correa, Anthony Averbeck, and Devin Dobrowolski, is set to be published by Applied Research + Design (AR+D) in 2026. It explores how architects have reimagined collective housing, tracing a lineage from early 20th-century experiments to contemporary proposals that challenge market-driven paradigms. The volume presents sixty projects from around the world, redrawn by the authors and organized into ten distinct design approaches. It bridges past and future, built form and experimental drawings, inviting readers to reconsider housing not just as shelter but as a critical framework for rethinking domesticity, civic identity, and urban life. The book calls on architects, urbanists, and academics to embrace collective housing as a fundamental realm for designing the contemporary city and to reexamine the conditions under which we can inhabit together. Published in Spanish on ArchDaily on August 12, 2026, the book has an ISBN of 9781966515616 and is available in softcover.
