Architecture for the Commons dives into an analysis of how the
tectonics of a building is fundamentally linked to the economic
organizations that allow them to exist. By tracing the origins and
promises of current technological practices in design, the book
provides an alternative path, one that reconsiders the means of
achieving complexity through combinatorial strategies. This move
requires reconsidering serial production with crowdsourcing and
user content in mind. The ideas presented will be explored through
the design research developed within Plethora Project, a design
practice that explores the use of video game interfaces as a
mechanism for participation and user design. The research work
presented throughout the book seeks to align with a larger project
that is currently taking place in many different fields: The
Construction of the Commons. By developing both the ideological and
physical infrastructure, the project of the Commons has become an
antidote to current economic practices that perpetuate inequality.
The mechanisms of the production and governance of the Commons are
discussed, inviting the reader to get involved and participate in
the discussion. The current political and economic landscape calls
for a reformulation of our current economic practices and
alternative value systems that challenge the current market
monopolies. This book will be of great interest not only to
architects and designers studying the impact of digital
technologies in the field of design but also to researchers
studying novel techniques for social participation and cooperating
of communities through digital networks. The book connects
principles of architecture, economics and social sciences to
provide alternatives to the current production trends.
