#UNTAGGED 2024

#UNTAGGED MAGAZINE

The #Untagged magazine is an annual publication that compiles the work of the different editions of the MAS in Collective Housing MCH, taught by the Polytechnic University of Madrid and the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH).

Each year, a student is selected to edit the work done by their peers and is part of the editorial board of the magazine, which is exhibited digitally and physically. Additionally, the MCH website has this section as an appendix of some of the work and interviews with the various participants.

We hope that #Untagged will be a platform that makes visible our vision of architecture, focused on collective housing, teamwork and consistent design.

Inhabiting according to the context

Camilo Meneses / Untagged Editor

The MCH is a diverse and compressed program that explores multiple approaches to housing projects from complex perspectives: climate, urbanism, landscape, sustainability, construction, sociology, market, emergency, crisis, needs, future projections, dreams, among others; always understanding its collective role, for and with society, designing from the craft of detailing to urban presence and interaction with its neighbors.

Inhabiting according to the context is the name of the 2nd edition of #Untagged, compilation of the 2023, 15th edition of MCH that teaches us how our decisions impact others, as well as the context impacts our design, being this correlation a fundamental part to understand the resolution of the current housing crisis.

In only 7 months, 22 students produce more than 100 architectural solutions to multiple commissions in their 8 specialties and 7 workshop classes. This magazine presents 30 of the most outstanding projects, architectural visions on collective housing and its possible solutions, always from the collaborative perspective of teamwork between professionals, of different ages and multiple countries.

The ability to have a positive impact will always depend on what surrounds us. Being aware of beyond the architectural ego or the individual professional search, understanding the role of service and responsibility that implies the design of spaces for living, that is the MCH, that is #Untagged.
