Seconde conférence de ce cycle : " After home " par David Tapias - aixoplucs (Reus)

aixopluc, aixoplucs, the campboards and little maps are four agencies founded and directed by David Tapias. Each one focuses on tne of the four core questions that architects face every day : dwelling, technique, resources and learning. SearchPractice is a written and oral reflection of the common themes that these agencies work on. ‘After home’ is a critical explanation of the ideas of home, house and habitat in several built and ongoing habitats of our practices. How do we build houses when home is not a place anymore ? Do our habitats really have something to do with feeling at home ?
Are there strong, unexpected or hidden connections between a particular environment and a home ? We will unveil these and more trilemmas in a format that helps to open a debate around these ideas.
