Coles Activism at Home: Architects dwelling between politics, aesthetics and resistance at Village Green Shopping Centre in Vernon, BC

Activism at Home offers a unique study of architects’ own dwellings; homes
purposely designed to express social, political, economic, and cultural critiques.
Through thirty case studies by architectural scholars, this book highlights different
forms of activism at home from the early twentieth century to today. The architect-
led experiments in activist living discussed in this book include the dwellings
of Ralph Erskine, Paulo Mendes Da Rocha, Charles Moore, Flora Ruchat-Roncati,
Kiyoshi Seike, and many others.
Offering candid appraisals of alternative living solutions that formulate a response
to rising real estate prices, economic inequality, social alienation, and mounting
environmental and cultural challenges, Activism at Home is more than a historical
study; it is an appeal to architects to use the discipline’s tools to their full potential,
and a plea to scholars to continue bringing architecture's activist practices into
focus—whether at home or elsewhere.
