TPOD-EPFL

By studying the architecture of domestic space, the laboratory intends to use architecture as evidence of a larger set of conditions and relationships simultaneously looking at history and finding historical continuities in the present. The laboratory is organized as a series of courses devoted to both the history and theories of domestic space (and related theoretical topics such as planning, theories of architecture) and as a forum of research on specific topics such as the deep history of domestication, the political economy of housing, and genealogies of specific domestic types or elements.
