Driven by the Foucauldian attitude of subsuming architectural
history into a genealogy of techne, Architectures of Life and Death
advances a transdisciplinary approach rethinking subjectivity and
exploring the political ramifications of these processes for the
discipline of architecture and beyond. In contrast to mainstream
approaches, architecture will not be seen as representative of
culture, but as the mechanism of culture, the 'collective
equipment' that rests on the reciprocal determination of social
habits and technological habitats. In this sense, the idea that we
shape our environments, therefore they shape us, is not to be taken
as a metaphor. The animate has always been utterly dependent on the
inanimate. A livable habitat is one which the inhabitant actively
co-evolves with and which does not constitute a ready-made
condition to which the inhabitant would simply have to passively
adapt.
