Construir es dejar de habitar

This article wants to go more deeply into the future of the architecture throughthe link settled by Heidegger in his Darmstadt lecture between “to build” and “to dwell”.Looking through the text, we found that the connection between dwell and build, analysedunder the perspective of different contemporary approaches to the architectural space,can offer us new ways to understand the architect field of activity, without coming out ofhis powers. That the architecture depends on the dwell, implies an overall rereading ofthe physical environment as well as the social one. If we take these links to it’s ultimateconsequences, we can broaden the scope of intervention of the architect to the significant,symbolic and emotional… space, without leaving the concrete, without detaching it from“the place” as the subject of architecture.
