Abstract

Abstract

Inhabiting is a recently initiated topic and in constant construction. The article starts off from the premise that inhabiting is generally thought under a functional perspective of space, which leads us to reflect upon this topic once more, and to understand the human inhabit crisis, the misunderstanding of the term, and its scarce relationship with epistemological design matters, reside in the oblivion of being. In order to establish a relationship between inhabit and design, the starting point is the space in which humans have a greater display of their being; the domestic surrounding, since it constitutes a very particular case since it deals with an “object” that has a high functional and symbolic content, and thereafter endless potential can be treated from design’s perspective. The home, the dwelling is the place from which human beings begin to develop as such. It constitutes the universe with which it begins connections with other domestic “objects”, using them to evidence one of the most notable manners of appropriation and expression used by humans. These objects can be used in order to particularize and limit spaces, as well as making possible an affective link between subject and object by means of an aesthetic experience.
