Architecture and urban design are rarely considered as technology,
but more frequently as a result of artistic creativity performed by
gifted individuals. Postphenomenology and Architecture: Human
Technology Relations in the Built Environment considers buildings
and cities as technologies, from a postphenomenological
perspective. This book argues that buildings and the furniture of
cities-like bike lanes, benches, and bus stops-are inscribed in a
conceptual framework of multistability, which is to say that they
fulfill different purposes over time. Yet, there are qualities in
the built environment that are long lasting and immutable, and
transcend temporal functionality and ephemeral efficiency. The
contributors show how different perceptions, practices, and
interpretations are tangible and visible as we engage with these
technologies. In addition, several of the chapters critically
assess the influence of Martin Heidegger in modern philosophy of
architecture., this book reads Heidegger in the perspective of
architecture and urban design as technology, shedding light on what
it means to build and dwell.
