Book Launch: A House Is Not Just a House
Tatiana Bilbao, Gabriela Etchegaray and Ivonne Santoyo-Orozco
January 31
Book Launch: “A House Is Not Just a House”. A book published by Columbia Books on Architecture and the City, New York.
“A House is Not Just a House” revisits the work of Tatiana Bilbao concerned with the subject matter of housing. Her work constructs arguments on the production of domestic spaces, in the manner of both expansive and minimal forms, inseparable from the context where they are located and rooted in the fundamental principles of living. The book includes reflections from colleagues and academics such as Amale Andraos, Gabriela Etchegaray, Hilary Sample, and Ivonne Santoyo-Orozco.
The presentation of this book at LIGA unites the speakers in a debate that serves to understand the background and work of Tatiana Bilbao as well as deepen the conversation about social housing. One such relevant project is that of the recent exposition inaugurated at LIGA titled “Trayectorias de un panel” (Trajectories of a Panel), on the topic of the geopolitical history of housing in Chile.
A House is Not Just a House is part of the series Transcripts on Housing, of the series GSAPP Transcripts, in collaboration with the M.Arch Housing Studios at Columbia University’s GSAPP.
