The present study proposes to investigate
the direct correlation between the family and the
house, the domus; and the corresponding role of the
family and home as domesticators. It is believed that
the importance of this work is based on bringing to
the surface the question of home and family, of living
and inhabiting. Also because the ‘house project for
the family’ is one of the specifics of the architect’s profession,
be it a single-family house, a condominium, a
residential building, or a low-income housing. Precisely,
topics that most students approach the architectural
profession due to the desire to design housing.
So, nothing more opportune and necessary to study
such a relationship between the constitution and
structuring of families and their historical trajectory
with the house. When giving shape to a house, we are
also giving shape, reforming, deforming and conforming
an institution: the family. It is worth asking why
the academy does not study the family, why has it
been given as a ‘natural datum’, an innate and immutable
thing? when the family is not a passive social
institution, on the contrary; it is still partly responsible
for human domestication. The study draws on
various areas of study, philosophy, history, psychoanalysis,
anthropology.
