Reactivating the Social Condenser! Architecture against Privatisation

We live in a time of privation, crisis and stratification, in housing as well as in public space. 

Space has become a commodity, and apathy is rife. For nearly a century, architects, artists and thinkers have been inspired by and toyed with the grand old Soviet idea of the social condenser. Most, however, have attempted to tame this idea, or have done little other than to pay lip service to it.
