This book explores the concept of Co-Dividuality, an architecture that expresses a new response to joint living in the age of post-individualism, social media, and sharing economy. The focus lies on current experimentation in Japanese architecture and presents thematic homes with shared spaces designed as a result of warm, simple, fun and contemporary design reflections. In addition to their private room, the co-tenants have large common areas where they can practice urban farming, create a start-up, cook together, or experience new spatial ergonomics. It is an overview not only on domestic space but also on projects where there is a multifarious mix between public and private spheres. What is Co-Dividuality? reflects on how we might want to live tomorrow.
