Sharing accommodation is perhaps the most obvious solution to housing affordability issues, but can be fraught with problems. Through collaborative design and agency, both architects and residents can play their part in facilitating harmonious and adaptable co‐living environments supporting emerging forms of households. Neeraj Bhatia and Antje Steinmuller , who co‐direct the Urban Works Agency research lab at the California College of the Arts, report on three projects from across the globe that demonstrate just that: a Berlin Baugruppe, a Seoul ‘share house’ and a California commune network.
