Architecture as Social Engineering

The Phalanstery is designed to transform the human condition through its built environment.

By having luxurious yet accessible common spaces, with rotating labor, work and life become indistinct, and labor becomes a source of joy, not drudgery.

People become polymaths who work according to what they like. It makes everything voluntary (E.g., natural, without corrosion).

The Phalanstery has no private property; this means hoarding and property obsession are replaced with generosity and greater social connection.

By living under one roof with common amenities, people are concerned and loving of their fellow neighbors. They are more supportive of each other, thus improving the social health of the community. Social Isolation, on the other hand, has proven to be a sickness that leads to mistrust and antisocial behaviors.

To this end, it creates a community founded on free will, mutual aid, and joy. A place where people share food, responsibilities, and even their own partners.

As an architecture designed to fulfill the passions of its residents. To fulfill its purpose effectively, seven conditions must be established:

1. Dignify the industry and render it attractive.
2. Assemble individuals into vast cooperative enterprises (Series). To achieve economies of scale far beyond what isolated households can offer.
3. Establish diversity of occupations for all talents.
4. Secure pleasing social relations and freedom of association, where coercion is replaced with voluntaryism.
5. Gathering of resources for cooperative large projects, especially in permaculture.
6. Organizing the passions of the people into trades that fulfill their innermost desires.
7. Provide children with full development.
