Life forms for a transindividual inhabitation: an intentional genealogy from three reflective frameworks.

Abstract

This reflection explores the possibilities for an architecture that opens up to affirmative political life and an inhabitation as a space of and for life that, goes beyond the universal, exclusive and anthropocentric logic of Humanism.

It proposes to rethink and recompose an alternative and complementary theoretical framework for architecture and inhabitation, based on the concept of forms of life by Ludwig Wittgenstein and its appropriation as forms-of-life by Giorgio Agamben, which extends to the Neomaterialist Posthumanism and Feminism by Rosi Braidotti, the contributions of Roberto Esposito which advocate a conception of life inherently exposed to the world and to others and; to other more localized, emancipatory and pluralistic investigations that contribute to illuminate the debates of the present and renew the humancentric histories and theories of architecture that have been written and taught.

The openness and indeterminacy of this way can offer for the emerging posthuman forms-of-life an inhabitation to be made, open and mutant, suitable for its new form in continuous mutation that, in a context of crisis of inhabitation and vital uncertainty, does not know the metamorphoses it will undergo.

This geneaology tries to be a research device that defines and reinforces itself through openings, escapes and evocations and that operates in a transdisciplinary way allowing a non-repressive existence and habitability to compose a common world in mutation.
