We are happy to invite you to the launch of the book “They Asked Me to Design a House, I Asked Them to Design a Home: Beyond the Architectural House. Reflections and Exercises on Domestic Life”, edited by Ilaria Palmieri and Georgina Pantazopoulou (Common Ground Practice), on Friday 14th November 2025, at 19 hrs.
Let's pause... and consider home as more than just architecture.
This collaborative exploration invites us to pause and reconsider what truly shapes the spaces we inhabit. Rooted in the belief that domesticity is not a static setting for everyday life but a living and evolving experience, the book expands from the scope of the architectural lens. By reintroducing home as something felt, remembered, imagined, and continuously made, this publication tackles the issues of dwelling, belonging and shared living with architects, interior architects, educators, designers, and practitioners whose work touches on care, intimacy, and everyday rituals.
Compiled and introduced by Ilaria Palmieri and Georgina Pantazopoulou (Common Ground) with contributing authors Noemi Biasetton, Ramón Jiménez Cárdenas, Cecilia Casabona, Panos Dragonas, Edit Collective, Davide Tommaso Ferrando, Ines Glowania, Platon Issaias, Nicholas Korody, La-Di-Da, Kevin S.F.
