Everything related. Architecture for whom?

Abstract

Who taught us this concept of (in)habiting? What narratives underpin this idea? The stories shaping our lives intertwine with various issues, influencing where and how we dwell metaphorically, psychologically, and physically. This is closely tied to how architecture is practiced and taught, defining the role of the architect.

These stories are built around dominant narratives that impose how we understand, create, and inhabit spaces, resulting in homogenized and unequal relationships between knowledge, spaces, people, and the environment.

Through decolonial and feminist theory, the narratives and complex interrelationships among patriarchy, capitalism, and coloniality are explored Instead of seeking definitive solutions, practice-led research methods and a film essay are used as tools for feeling-thinking-making within decolonial narratives. The goal is to foster a critical perspective and provide a space to question and (un)learn concepts related to the production of and our (in)habitation.
