Archicottura: architettura e pratiche sociali

In an interactive and reactive reality, it is not surprising that there is a growing interest in the relationship between architecture and social practices (Archi_Cottura). Of the multiple declinations in which the relationship can be understood, it is useful to dwell, between ‘things’ and ‘devices’, on the places and spaces that identify different identity potentialities. Architecture and social practices, however, have a deeper bond if we consider them as forms of interpretation of the relationship between man’s ancestral memory and the spatial dynamism coagulates into ideas and project actions. Being in the era of domotics, this hermeneutic tension in building that is counterbalanced, within the spatial organism, by a newfound narrative and poetic dimension. The question is how the Archi_Cottura affects domestic space, whose effectiveness seems to lie in the need for aggregation that binds food to a revitalized sociality.
