Abstract

As buildings need bodies, architectural design needs new modalities in unpacking space making and habitation. Space making and habitation have often been studied whole in space but never whole in time, while spaces adapt best when constantly refined and reshaped by their occupants.

This issue of () will focus on how bodies change spaces physically and mentally through our relationships with them, through them and from them. Particular concerns will focus on how revisiting the same space multiple times can change our understanding and can be recorded as an architecture of varying power. What we touch, we edit the space and leave a residue in the actual space. Architecture could be viewed as the relationship between the amateur and professional in space-making and habitation from who instructs whom to who informs whom. Do we have the methods to communicate the modalities of multiple habitants in one space over an extended period of time? Could we view an architecture of varying power as a layering of knowledge and our relationship of space over time? This issue on ‘Architectures of Varying Power’ will focus on articles.
