- This paper sheds light on PLOT's first project: Information Technology and Architecture, an unpublished proposal for a web-based design platform. The study of the project brings to the fore the theoretical principles that the founders of PLOT, Bjarke Ingels and Julien de Smedt, associated with an architecture conceived for the age of the World Wide Web, including the definition of design as a relational device or the acknowledgement of its global condition. In hindsight, much of the work produced by both architects after the dissolution of PLOT in 2006 seems to respond to such principles. In particular, the logics of Information Technology and Architecture resonate with Superkilen, the public park built in 2013 by BIG as a compilation in Copenhagen of a hundred objects from all around the world.

- Norms and handbooks have played a key role in the design of residential rooms in Sweden since the 1940s. Ever since, changes in housing policies have led to varying definitions and regulations of residential rooms, allowing their existence, defining their configuration, and framing their performance. And yet, none of these rooms has been built; they are prescribed room types that belong in the pages of handbooks that validate the framework in which housing design can operate. What are these prescribed room types? What do they look like? Who and what do they include? Have they changed over time? In response to these questions, this article follows the evolution of a set of residential room types in the design handbooks that have accompanied housing policy bills in Sweden from 1942 to 2023. These manuals are not the law itself but operate as an interface for professionals and designers by reflecting the practical consequences of the norm. Diagrams, dimensions, texts, and references to housing literature vary from handbook to handbook to define the specific traits of each type of room. By studying these traits in relation to key moments of Swedish housing politics, the article reveals the role that norms and standards have played in the establishment of the regulatory regime in which housing design in Sweden operates today.

- What constitutes the architecture of urban dwelling? What shapes its limits? What hopes is it meant to fulfill?Dwelling projects have always played a key role in the narratives surrounding urban identity. Indeed, the construction of urban identity is largely affected by a precise set of spatial configurations and material arrangements that coexist in a particular time and place. However, the architecture of dwelling in a city is not only constituted by the one that is actually built, even if the endurance of its particular aggregate of rooms, walls, and households might make it appear so. Looking into dwelling architecture through the lens of the technologies that produce it — including those that regulate it, preserve it, and validate it as a legitimate wish — reveals a whole new set of projects that overlap and enable those that visibly shape the urban environment.This paper explores three of these technologies of dwelling and their role in the construction of the Swedish urban realm. Each technology is addressed in an essay that focuses on what it is and what it does in the city. The first essay, “Standards,” investigates the sources of Swedish national housing regulations and recommendations as a semiotic technology that delimits the admissible framework in which dwelling architecture can operate. The second essay, “Archives,” surveys the aggregate of human and non-human agents involved in the practice of archiving dwelling architecture as an architectural technology for collecting, recording, and preserving what has been agreed to be built. The last essay, “Urban Fiction,” explores the programs for housing supply issued by Swedish municipalities as a discursive technology that constructs legitimate urban imaginaries. The result is a multi-layered re-interpretation of the architecture of domestic space that problematizes urban dwelling as a tangible, concrete reality.
