The second event of Common Field series for 2020 is focused on collective housing, living together, and the potential of an architecture without status. It will include presentations by and Martino Tattara - co-founder of Brussels-based practice Dogma- and Roger Tudó -founding member of Catalan studio Harquitectes-. Both guests will introduce how their practices are both reflecting and challenging cultural and material standards, -offering alternative and straightforward models that can be enjoyed by the many- through a series of recent projects belonging to different programmes, and bearing diverse complexities and scales,: from social housing blocks in Mexico to the renovation of pre-existing buildings in Barcelona.
In English, this conference consists of a presentation and a conversation moderated by the curators of Common Field - Diana Menino and Felipe De Ferrari - in which we invite those who attend to participate and ask questions. Given the current pandemic context, the conference is held exclusively online, in live streaming format.
