CONSTRUIR/HABITAR: Overview - First steps and sketches

OVERVIEW:

This project claims , according to the text of Martin Heidegger "Building , dwelling, thinking" that , first, the act of building is, in itself, already to inhabit. Secondly, it is postulated that the individual is to the extent that he inhabits. The dwelling is the Self of the individual. This act of building and living takes place in a space. An individual occupies a space and makes it his own through this double act previously mentioned. The relationship with this space is, however, contingent and problematic when migrating to another geographic territory. The aim of this project is the appropriation of a strange space through a series of installations, in which the act of building is involved as a practical, as well as an aesthetic fact. Only by building in this space, I may inhabit it. Only by inhabiting this space, I may be in this space.

The following pictures are the first ideas I was able to draw, according to this overview. During the next posts, I'll be talking about the fundamentals of every installation in particular, its source of inspiration and how I intend to complete each one of them.
