This new issue of Urbanautica for Manfrotto School of Xcellence feature the new project by Monia Lippi included in the Italian webplatform HABITAT. Habitat is a research project about “alternative” housing. The object of Habitat is to build a collect
ion of works by photographers, artists and researchers dealing with the refusal of the urban housing standard.
Anarchism, agricultural communes, social housings, self-sufficient villages, experimental residential systems, spiritual communities, collectivization, land-sharing, urban nomadism… Communities, either built upon fair living ideas or created to get out of an emergency status, are the living example of a conscious choice opposing the urban status quo and the Property/House/ Family Trinity. The choice as a “principle” and the western society as a “cause” represent a dichotomy we find in all the works included in Habitat.
