Summary:

A selection of images and objects that reflect realities as diverse as today's society itself. The revision, through time and geography, of an element as fundamental and necessary for society as the house, constitutes an unprecedented approach that accounts for its versatility and multiple condition. Chilean house. Domestic Images is organized around six major themes that illustrate aspects that the house must deal with. Territories presents the various ways in which geographical adaptation has determined specific modalities for the house. The section addressing Densities looks at those dwellings in which concentration is key, facilitating communal forms of life and located mostly within urban environments. Economies focuses on those houses shaped by the availability of resources, evincing that their capacity to rise in market value and the savings in construction processes and materials are two sides of the same coin. The section on Singularities focuses on those houses designed to represent particular identities from the architecture to the owners by means of objects that aim to be useful in more ways than just for living in them. The chapter on Struggles looks at the house as a right worth fighting for. Finally, Temporalities displays dwellings that change in time, allowing us to contemplate the evolving lives of their occupants, the new uses the house becomes subject to, and even its disappearance after the occurrence of catastrophic events. Each of the six chapters is in turn subdivided into three categories, based on paradigmatic case studies that work as prisms through which we can appreciate the variety of forms that the Chilean house assumes. Each category is defined by an adjective that not only identifies but also attributes qualities to the house.
