 ned by identifying similarities inherent in objects\, whether due to their
  form or program or both. Their manifestations result from a process of de
 velopment characterised by the adaptation of the type to its environment 
 – with territorial\, social and economic factors. Some program related t
 ypes evolve and others disappear. The dormitory-room-type has a long cultu
 ral tradition\, and today it is a rather marginal architectural phenomenon
 . \nThe collective dormitory was replaced by the individual sleeping and 
 the unitarian space was replaced by the addition of smaller cells. To unde
 rstand the essence of this type\, we will explore history as a treasure tr
 ove and our collective cultural memory. As a large room to accommodate sle
 epers\, it is determined by both idealistic features such as community and
  social belonging along with an efficient use of space. The dormitory is a
 lso a space of confrontation between the individual and the collective who
 le. If its design is dominated by the idea of sharing\, it does not exclud
 e the smallest individual unit of the bed – most of the time as a piece 
 of furniture also expected to organise the plan.\n\nThe conference will lo
 ok at the phenomenon from architectural\, social\, scientific and politica
 l perspectives in order to discuss what we can learn from this obsolete ar
 chitectural type.\n
