Abstract
How do philosophy and architecture give us a distinctive way of understanding equality, and how can this have impacts on the wellbeing of individuals and communities? This is the primary question this project aims to address. We will look at an alternative history of the concept of equality found in both the 17th-century philosophy of Spinoza and in architectural thought. Here, equality is understood in terms of proportion, a way of thinking that can lead to new strategies for increasing equalities of wellbeing.
Standard notions of equality originate in the Enlightenment social contract tradition and depend on the assumption that every human being is an autonomous, rational subject. The resulting notion of the moral equality of reasoning subjects undergirds both 18th century political thought (e.g. Rousseau and Kant) and dominant theories of justice today (e.g. Rawls and Sen). The notion that all persons are moral equals is foundational in arguments for political equality and universal rights. However, while liberal democracies have increasingly committed to the political equality of citizens, their societies have become less and less economically equal over the past fifty years. Recent studies such as Wilkinson and Pickett's The Spirit Level have demonstrated the link between income equality and wellbeing. Wellbeing and "happiness" as indicators of national progress are now high on the public agenda. We are interested in finding out whether a concept of equality different from the standard moral-political sense, might provide a better foundation for arguments for income equality and greater wellbeing.
This alternative concept of equality is connected to an alternative concept of human subjectivity found in the 17th-century philosophy of Baruch Spinoza. Spinoza sees people not as equal rational subjects, but as fundamentally unequal individuals whose capacity for reasoning and freedom constantly varies with their bodily constitution, political circumstances, and emotional and social situation. He suggests that we should abandon the assumption of absolute moral equality, and instead look to ideas of geometrical proportion and mathematical ratio in order to understand what defines individuals, distinguishes them from others, and allows them to bind together into communities. What emerges is a concept of proportional equality which, if put into practice (Spinoza believes) would result in a greater equality of wellbeing among all individuals. Our contention is that thinking about equality in this Spinozian way can provide a foundation for societies to pursue equalities of wellbeing amongst citizens.
In Architecture, there is a long tradition of connecting a proportional conception of equality with wellbeing. From Vitruvius's classical treatise On Architecture, through to Renaissance and Enlightenment aesthetic ideals, through to modernist utopian building and social housing projects, architects have upheld geometric criteria of proportion and harmony. In the 20th century these criteria were strongly linked to generating greater equalities of wellbeing through housing design. While this connection was recognized, and standards of living space protected, in the 1960s-70s, it has been ignored over the past 25 years due to the drive for large quantities of affordable housing. As architectural theory and practice remain focused on increasing wellbeing, there is a need to interpret and discuss the connection to proportional equality in a distinctive way.
In the project we will do philosophical analysis on Spinoza's concept of proportional equality and connect it to case studies to see how it can be realized in architectural theory and affordable housing design. We will consult with professional groups and charities aiming at greater wellbeing through income equality and housing standards. The final outcomes will be a series of papers and a documentary film that will be accessible to a wide audience.

Planned Impact
We anticipate that the research will have three kinds of non-academic beneficiary:
1. Groups influencing government policy (UK)
Happiness and wellbeing are now central to statistical research and government policy. The Equality Trust, a charitable organization that aims to influence policy, campaigns to make governments focus on income equality as the key means to improving wellbeing. Action for Happiness draws on academic research to harness efforts to increase social wellbeing. Its parent charity, The Young Foundation, builds on research to develop social projects and influence policy. Its communities and housing team develops projects and tools aimed at improving wellbeing through the built environment. Think-tank The New Economics Foundation's Centre for Wellbeing works to improve wellbeing through various means including the built environment.
2. Professional architectural associations (UK)
Organizations for architects and built-environment professionals engage with how housing quality affects wellbeing. The Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment (CABE), now part of the Design Council, aims to put architecture and design at the heart of social renewal, and works with a wide range of organizations to inform the design professsion. The Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) promotes better architecture at a policy level and in the profession; its Future Homes Commission investigates whether the size and quality of newly-built homes are fit for purpose. The Homes and Communities Agency (HCA) is the national agency in England that invests in new affordable housing and in improving existing social housing.
3. Charitable groups concerned with housing and wellbeing (UK)
The Joseph Rowntree Foundation works in a range of fields relevant to our research: housing market reform, housing planning, and assessing housing trends. Shelter is the leading authority on homelessness and poor housing in Britain and its research and policy section has a direct impact on its campaigning and services.
We aim to engage with the research and policy sections of these groups to have an impact on their body of knowledge and thinking, to feed into their campaigns, services, and practical activities. Our research aims to provide a philosophical foundation for a concept of equality that has a demonstrable link to increased wellbeing, and to apply this concept to architecture and the built environment. The research will benefit these groups, first, by providing a philosophical foundation for the connection between equality and wellbeing, something that has not previously been done. This will deepen their knowledge-base and add to its academic credibility. Second, the research will provide models and case studies for how equalities of wellbeing can be improved through affordable housing design. This will enhance their research and feed into specific projects and practices that improve communities through housing. Third, the research has potential to ground and generate related future projects.
In the first year of the project members of these groups will be invited to attend the initial seminar and to join our project advisory panel. They will be consulted on the aims and methods of our research at the outset, and consulted regularly through the project on methods, findings, and potential applications of the research, so that we monitor and understand the research impacts. We aim to post links to our website and position papers on the websites of some of these groups, and to advertise through their Facebook and Twitter feeds, thus benefiting their members and followers more widely. See the 'Pathways to Impact' document for further detail of these activities.
We have contacted many of the named groups, and several of them have indicated their interest in being on the advisory panel, including the Design Council, the New Economics Foundation, and several professional architects.

Description | (1) Spinoza's philosophy is a philosophy of ratio (where ratio means reason, relation, and mathematical ratio). This concept is significant to his metaphysics, ethics, political philosophy, and philosophies of mind and body. This idea was developed in the project conference held in 2015 and the findings are published in the edited book Spinoza's Philosophy of Ratio (2018). (2) Spinoza's philosophy of ratio feeds directly into his theory of equality, and this is relevant for re-thinking individual and social wellbeing. This theme is explored especially in Lord's journal articles, research for which was funded by the project. (3) In particular, Spinoza's philosophy of ratio and concept of equality are relevant for thinking about the design, distribution, and availability of affordable housing. These themes are explored especially in Rawes's publications and presentations, and in the project film, Equal by Design. The project enabled us to work and exchange knowledge with architects, planners, and the charity sector as well as other academics to understand the connections between Spinoza, ratio, equality, wellbeing, and housing design, which culminated in the project film (free and publically available online). Our findings are relevant to architects, planners, local government, and policy advisers, as well as academics in these fields and in philosophy. |

Description | The 25-minute documentary film, Equal by Design, has been viewed by hundreds of people, both academic and non-academic, including architecture and housing professionals, council workers, charities, and those influencing policy. A follow-up survey captured their responses and the impact the film has had on their thinking and work. The film was launched in May 2016 to an invited audience of 55 (project participants and selected influencers) at the Curzon Bloomsbury cinema, London. It was subsequently screened to public audiences at University College London and University of Aberdeen. These screenings were followed by panel discussion and Q&A with selected film participants. Screenings were subsequently arranged for the staff of Shelter (London), Levitt Bernstein architects (London), the Royal Town Planning Institute Scottish Young Planners' Network (Edinburgh), and Aberdeen City Council planning department. Since 30 June 2016 the film has been freely available to view at www.equalbydesign.co.uk and has been promoted through the project websites, Twitter, and by film and project participants. The film website has had 5,145 visits from 3,146 unique visitors. 53% of website visitors are based in the UK; 11% in the US, 3% in the Netherlands, and the remaining 33% are from 50+ other countries. We received survey responses from Brazil, New Zealand, Australia, and Russia, as well as the countries listed above. In an online survey of 100 people who viewed the film at screenings or online, the majority of respondents (59) worked in architecture, planning, housing, or design; 18 worked in philosophy, and the rest worked in charities or other sectors. The majority of respondents (80) had no knowledge of the project prior to seeing the film. The film caused respondents to think differently about Spinoza (47 respondents); Architecture and design (40); Equality and inequality (36); UK housing crisis (35); Wellbeing (35); Philosophy more broadly (27); Social issues more broadly (27); Their personal life (26); Politics (22); Their own work/professional practice (21); Their studies (19). For example, the difference in thinking respondents described included a new introduction to, or new appreciation of the relevance of, Spinoza and his ideas, and new connections made between Spinoza's philosophy and social/economic issues. Respondents indicated that the film had caused them to take action in their own work/professional practice (19 respondents); Architecture and design (14); UK housing crisis (14); Equality and inequality (13); social issues more broadly (13); Wellbeing (12); Their personal life (12); Their studies (10); Politics (9); Spinoza (8); Philosophy more broadly (8). The actions respondents described included reading more about Spinoza and philosophy, sharing the film in networks and meetings, joining a political party, signing petitions, writing to MP, donating to Shelter, and contributing to specific projects on active citizenship (Brazil) and housing (Birmingham). The film had a lasting impact on a curator at the Built Environment Trust, who selected it to feature in their exhibition at The Building Centre, London: Making Wellbeing from Birth to Death (Oct. 2017 - Jan. 2018). As part of the exhibition's events programme, the BET organized a panel discussion with film participants (London, Dec. 2017). Project findings have also been used by an artist/architect to inspire series of drawings. Findings were noted in a blog post on the website of the charity Shelter, and on a post by Beth Lord on The Forum blog. |

Results and Impact | On Saturday 21 May 2016, project film 'Equal by Design' had its premiere screening at Bertha DocHouse in the Curzon Bloomsbury Cinema, London. Based on Peg Rawes' and Beth Lord's research from the Equalities of Wellbeing project, the film is a 25-minute documentary about how the philosophy of Spinoza helps us to think about inequality, housing design, and the UK housing crisis. Joining the project team at the premiere were the film's director Adam Low, producer Martin Rosenbaum (Lone Star Productions), editor Joanna Crickmay, and sound designer George Taylor. The screening was followed by a panel discussion chaired by Peg Rawes with film contributors Deborah Garvie (Shelter), Duncan Exley (The Equality Trust), Peter Barber (architect), Sarah Wigglesworth (architect), Olly Wainwright (journalist), and Alex Ely (architect). The audience members, who numbered around 75, joined the discussion and subsequent launch party, and included architects, academics, and third sector professionals. Many subsequently completed the online survey. |
