Abstract

How do buildings establish and engage with territories? How do temporalities manifest themselves in buildings? How do architects deal with multiple temporalities and territorialities? How do buildings live and die? By exceeding the modernist categories of space and time to contemporary notions of territorialities and temporalities, we move from nouns to adjectives, from immutable and fixed ideas of reality to multiple, socially produced, and unstable qualities. Special attention is given to how architecture engages with the past, present, and future in discussing the ecological and social potentials they convey.
