Resumen: Minimum dwelling is not just a book on architecture, it is a blueprint for a new way of living, calling for a radical rethiking of domestic space and of the role of modern architecture in the planing, design, and construction of new dwelling types for the proletariat. Teige goes far beyond Gropius, Le Corbusier, Mies van der Rohe, and other architects whose proposals Teige viewed as Little more tan new versions of baroque palaces, mainly for the new financial aristocracy. Teige envisioned the minimun dwelling not as a reduced versión of a bourgeois apartment or rural cottage, but as a wholly new dwelling type built with the cooperation of architects, sociologists, economists, health officials, physicians, social workers, politicians, and trade unionists.
