The concept of private home ownership has been under scrutiny in recent years. Co-housing and micro-housing with shared amenities, spaces and responsibilities are increasingly familiar in urban areas globally. This turn in the concept of ownership attests to the fact that architecture is an active participant in the construction of the city, suburbs, the rural, and the natural, and an agent in realizing a political and cultural project in the environment we share. The concept of shared ownership reimagines architecture beyond the object-icon dimension in which it is trapped today. These projects grapple with sharing resources and how architecture may contribute to and critique this practice. Contrary to a romantic notion, shared resources can cause conflicts. Border walls, wars over precious metals and refugee camps, communes, gated communities and micro-housing all call into question who owns which resource, who decides, and what the consequences may be for our environment and for architecture.
