Gypsy pot. An experiment in architecture for light institutions
Abstract
Recent studies about the city and Architecture, coming from different disciplinary fields, such as, political ecology, feminisms, cosmopolitics or science and technology studies, have provided an unprecedented theoretical frame for the interpretation of phenomena that engages architecture and have led to the emergence of new practices among some architects.
Within this emerging disciplinary setting, the architectural project Olla Gitana, presented in this paper, renders as an experiment that examines the rituals and technologies of the dining-rooms seen as mediation devices and their possibilities in the composition of societies better equipped for conflict and public debate. This project claims the importance of conversation as an instrument for social composition in an attempt to rescue eating-tables as political objects that are seen as arenas for discussion that promote position taking and the constitution of democratically conflictive citizenships.
