Corpo, fábrica do sensível

Abstract

This journey begins by looking at the materiality of architecture, we go through the matter to know its qualities, the resonance that is made between two materialities, the one which architecture composes and the other of our body. Through the materiality we get inside of the living body that perceives it, to find a body whose sensitivity exists in continuity with things in the world and trying to organize its way the space where it moves. A body which is built by its extensions in the environment in which it moves, and it builds on a day to day in its memories, dreams, old habits and new ones, affections, desires. More than a physical thing, a house can not be done without that other significant matter, which can only be constructed by the body that inhabits it. The body we speak about is a very large body. Even when being individual, it's identity is made up by countless relations generated on its movement. A body which expands and gets sheltered, that organizes and disorganizes its identity. It is made of an immensity the house shelters. Taking home as a territory of creation of a unique body, in its difference, individual or collective, is to recognize that it can not be a objective matter. What is proposed here is to gather some elements that can be a contribute to the practice of architecture, in the construction of the personal realization territory. Elements that can fit a house, a mobile and porous body, in continuity with the matter, with other bodies.
