Specie di spazi (in)abitabili. Istituti, villaggi e case per “gente fuori norma” / The (Un)Inhabitable. Institutions, Villages, and Homes for “Extraordinary People”

The text focuses on understanding how architecture address today - and has done so in the past - the dilemma between the ideal of autonomy and the tension toward interdependence in designing living spaces for neurodivergent people. Some case studies will be analysed through the rhetorics of interdependence, autonomy and community living to see how the architectural translation of inclusive visions of living and caring has not always produced forms of equal opportunities among individuals.
