The Ethics of a Potential Urbanism explores the possible and
potential relevance of Giorgio Agamben's political thoughts and
writings for the theory and the practice of architecture and urban
design. It sketches out the potentiality of Agamben's politics,
which can affect change in current architectural and design
discourses. The book investigates the possibility of an inoperative
architecture, as an ethical shift for a different practice, just a
little bit different, but able to deactivate the sociospatial
dispositive and mobilize a new theory and a new project for the
urban now to come. This particular reading from Agamben's oeuvre
suggests a destituent mode of both thinking and practicing of
architecture and urbanism that could possibly redeem them from
their social emptiness, cultural irrelevance, economic reductionism
and proto-avant-garde extravagance, contributing to a renewed
critical 'encounter' with architecture's aesthetic-political
function.
