Architectures of Embodiment: Disclosing New Intelligibilities

This book began within Architecture of Embodiment, a research environment focused on the inquiry of architecture from an enactivist perspective and through aesthetic practices. Primarily, Architecture of Embodiment does not aim to find answers to its main research question--how does architecture influence the emergence of sense?--but instead attempts to provide conceptual, methodical, and communicative conditions to address the question. Eventually, Architecture of Embodiment hopes to destabilize each specific object of research in order to allow for a disclosure of new intelligibilities of the inquired issues. In this sense, Architecture of Embodiment intends to fulfill a fundamental cognitive function of research through aesthetic practices.

This book is an impressive collection of coexisting autonomous artifacts: texts by Alex Arteaga, Ana Garcia Varas, Dieter Mersch, Gerard Vilar, Jonathan Hale, Lidia Gasperoni, Mika Elo, and Susanne Hauser in dialogue with one another as comments, and comments to the comments. Architectures of Embodiment is a dialogic research dispositive--an invitation to participate in an open-ended process of research within the framework of a growing ecology of research practices.
