Title: Modos de morar nos apartamentos duplex
Description: This book proposes to discuss the history of housing and its transformations, starting from the buildings with duplex apartments that brought new possible ways of living in cities, and incorporating issues such as the passage of time and changes in latitude and social context. . The analyzed examples lead us to the uses, especially for the domestic life of the main user of domestic spaces: the woman. They appear in these environments in multiple activities, from daily care with the house and with each other to festivities and moments of commensality. The investigations presented here show that a project never ends in itself and that its subsequent appropriations are part of its history and tell us a lot about the social worlds in which they are immersed. The publication emerges among studies on domesticity, private life, gender roles, age and social class in the countryside and alerts us to our spaces, domestic and urban. For the fulfilled intentions and those left to be desired. For apartments in different urban and social spaces, and for the place of women and men in these and in the city.
