The architecture firm Dogma is known for its research into the evolution of housing in a rapidly changing society. In this exhibition, the architects take the urban villa as their starting point to facilitate collective living. The urban villa is a mid-sized house containing several dwellings which has been constructed in many European cities and beyond since the 19th century. It was created to reconcile the expectations of suburban living with the rising cost of land in the city. Its compact and speculative character attracts a range of residents, which makes the urban villa a commercial success.
The exhibition is in two parts. Part one shows the history of the urban villa as a specific typology; from townhouse to multi-family dwelling in cities such as Lausanne, Berlin and Rome. The second part presents a series of design proposals by Dogma. Four projects approach the urban villa as a social and cooperative home, while another project uses the urban villa as a collective and affordable housing model.
