This paper highlights the need to create better ways of relating people, buildings and the environment. The text centers on the importance of responding to the particularities of different bodies and integrating the elements that define our substance, frequently not visible in architecture, such as water and resources. This research addresses the influence of domestic reformers, who, more than a century ago, fought for ways to reduce domestic labor burdens and invented a new architecture in order to save time and gain freedom. The text links social changes to transformations in the design of spaces, furniture, clothing and ways of lives. It promotes the use of abstract spaces and the need to give relevance to what is visually not fixed or prescribed in order to facilitate personal forms of appropriation. The possibility of change begins with the briefs that determine architectural programs. This study addresses different examples of collective dwelling and highlights the importance of using architectural descriptions to help elaborate the transformations that society demands. Using as an example the patios of Luis Barragán, Mathias Goeritz and Mies van der Rohe and Lilly Reich as well as the cooperative housing projects of Kalkbreite and Zwicky-Süd in Switzerland, the importance is placed in experimentation and in the need to relate the different elements of a project that are repeatedly considered foreign to architecture. In conclusion, the research highlights the need to reduce formal considerations in architecture and address the effects of buildings on people´s lives and on the territory.
