What is social architecture and why do we need it?

The social architecture is the connections in between the group, the individuals and the projects in the house and the structure and the tools, that allow for a responsible use. Interpersonal relationships are of critical importance everywhere where people live and work together in a shared space to prevent the group from breaking apart.

Clarifying how these entities interact and providing communications tools is essential for a well-functioning house and enduring community.

The house will be used as a permanent living space by some people (residents) and will have a lot of people coming for shorter periods of time (guests).


Working groups for further research and to make the social architecture concept paper more concrete:

Consensual decision making

Communication structure

(conflict resolution)

Communal needs and

how they can be met

  • task delegation
  • decision making tools
  • differentiation residents/guest


  • interaction between group, individual, house
  • providing communication tools
  • conflict resolution concept and tools


  • group and community building
  • individual needs <> group needs
