In this project we are investigating how a concept of equality based on geometrical proportion &ndash\; a concept we take to be present in Spinoza&rsquo\;s philosophy and in architecture &ndash\; can help us to understand individual and community wellbeing and to develop models for improving the equal distribution of wellbeing through housing design.
