This article calls to attention the recent COMPACT phenomenon, as the object of industrial design in the consumer world of technology in domestic installations. Its aim is to point out and analyze some of its most outstanding cultural and technical characteristics — Production: industry, series; — Consumer: components' market; — Spatial: separable units/containers: flexibility. With these characteristics as starting points the conceptual development of these products is reviewed along with its spatial influences by means of a series of outstanding examples of architecture: from "la Casa Dominó" • Le Corbusier, to "la Robot-House" - R. Herron. Its function within its own cultural sphere which creates these products is discussed. Finally, in the face of the considerable presence of the COMPACT, four recent examples are described.
