What are the relevant issues with regard to housing for the “architectural profession”, today?


At the end of 20 century our society has undergone a profound transformation, social forms are no longer identifiable and individuals are forced to stay in a constant update.This phenomenon called by Zygmun Bauman as "liquid society" is a disadvantage for the architect because knowing the dweller is essential in order to project properly.

The architecture, like many other disciplines, should be a reflection of our society, therefore its imperative to understand how society is structured. Architects have left behind the study of housing in favor of a more impersonal architecture, the result is that individuals no longer live but are housed.
