revue

arc en rêve’s actions and projects question the architecture, the city and the landscape. This digital magazine extends these reflections by welcoming contributions and critical essays, sometimes conceived as complements to the programmation, and sometimes as autonomous interventions.

A Room of One’s Own, A house for All
Giorgos Thalassinos

A Room of One’s Own, A House for All investigates the architecture of the room as the primary unit in the composition of collective structures. Its author —an architect and researcher— positions the room as a conceptual enclosure through which subjectivity is formed, negotiated, and maintained within shared environments. The essay shifts towards the processes of aggregation, examining how individual rooms can be composed into a Tetris-like system that generates collective spatial structures. Scaled up to the urban condition, the city itself is understood as an horizontal, hidden network of individual rooms.
