For a radicalization of the contemporary architecture project Towards an architecture postproject

Abstract

The paper is proposing the category of postproject architecture facing the actual crisis panorama, as an alternative to the notion of architectural object project. For its radicalization three axis are proposed: the crisis of the modern architecture object, the new role of the architect, and the relation of architecture with its context, as theoretical-critical categories. In addition, some critical notions as limit of the modern architecture model are affered: the contemporary idea of the social, as proposed by the actor network theory; of radicality in architecture, proposed by Baudrillard; and posthuman, by Braidotti. It suggests that during the outset of the project there’s a possibility of evolution into a Postproject architecture.
