Silicon Valley is an exemplary case of American suburbia in which counterculture and cyberculture are notoriously merged within the framework of post-Fordist capitalism. Its core strategy involves cultivating "human capital" — entrepreneurs who take full risk and responsibility for themselves. This approach individualises employees, depoliticises them, and produces precarious subjects. The architecture and city of Silicon Valley are the spatial expression of this logic: private property as the fundamental social datum, a residential fabric of compartmentalised single-family housing, fenced mobile home parks at the margins, and almost no public space for collective life.

The project aims to materialise — and thereby demystify — the notion of Silicon Valley, challenging the typological design of American suburbia through the archetype of the vault house. Mobile home parks occupy a peculiar position in this landscape: affordable, technically without plot division between individual units, and historically animated by cooperative movements resisting eviction and rent increases. The case study proposes various strategies to hack these parks, appropriating the vault house archetype to transform private homes into a communal domestic space that fosters mutual care beyond the current private-public dichotomy. The completion of the project relies on the occupants themselves, who decide the precise form and use of the spaces. In this context, the role of the architect is not that of a supreme author but a contributor to a grammar of common knowledge — one whose technical expertise, shared with critical groups, enables the development of collective principles and practices of a common form of life.
