As an alternative to the models of the State and the market, the "common" continues to appear in contemporary debate. Its implications are evaluated on the political, economic or social level; architecture, on the other hand, has not yet identified its own positions in this area and struggles to discern the forms of the common, in its spatial and prospective manifestations. This gap needs to be filled in view of the potential of this third space, the common, which goes beyond the traditional dichotomy opposing the public to the private and opens up new perspectives on the conception of the urban in the 21st century . century.
The common reoriented the architecture of cities long before its conceptual definition was invented. Tracing with the author the urban antecedents of this notion over the centuries and exploring its history, marked by Elinor Ostrom's research in economics, allows the reader to understand its current value as well as its potential.
Thus, the recent recurrences of this major interdisciplinary theme invite us to take a fresh look at the built heritage, in terms of planning ethics, and at the fundamental trajectories of architecture: control of the environment, housing for the greatest number and the city of all possibilities.
