El Croquis 208: Dogma, 2002-2021-轻识

This edition begins with a conversation with Pier Vittorio Aureli and Martino Tattara, the founders of Dogma, an architectural firm concerned with the relationship between architecture and the city. By focusing mostly on urban design and large-scale projects, they offer consultancies to municipalities and agencies for urban planning and architectural issues. Each section delves into their solutions, including a model for a city of 4,000,000 inhabitants, a proposal for 44 social housing units, a short history of minimum dwelling, a prototype for boarding houses in London, and a genealogy of housing for the labouring classes, among many other timely articles about urban transformation.

Dogma was founded in 2002 by Pier Vittorio Aureli and Martino Tattara. From the beginning of its activities, Dogma has worked on the relationship between architecture and the city by focusing mostly on urban design and large-scale projects. In the last years, Dogma has been working on a research by design trajectory that focuses on domestic space and its potential for transformation. This work, made of studies and projects, has been exhibited at different venues among which the Tallinn Architectural Biennale (2014), the HKW Berlin (2015), the Biennale di Venezia (2012, 2016 and 2021), the Chicago Architectural Biennial (2017), the London Design Museum (2018), the Sharjah Architecture Triennial, the Flemish Architecture Institute VAi and the Seoul Architecture Biennial (2019). Dogma’s work has been widely published and is part of the permanent collection at the FRAC Centre, Orleans (France).
