El goce [la jouissance] en el espacio. Fundamentos lefebvrianos para una arquitectura del goce

Abstract

In the framework of author’s doctoral research about the actualization and deepening of theory & politics of H. Lefebvre’s space, Vers une architecture de la jouissance (1973) is a fundamental part in the epistemological construction of the lefebvrian social space towards the production of human radical space. This little known manuscript of Lefebvre that illuminates the architecture allows us to approach to the architectural question such poetic practice which transfigures the quotidian, transforms the residues left behind by knowledge, without any other assumptions than the ability to grasp lived experience in itself in order to overcome it. If space speaks and does what it says. Lefebvre wonders, is the human being present in such a place who receives a message from that space appropriate to its meaning? On the contrary, wouldn’t it be space that receives the perpetually confused message of the human being in search of life and truth, and that reflects it back upon him, or restores it clarified and intensified? What does the term “beauty” if not such interaction, such effect? Based on an original revision of the text, from the considerations of Psychology & Psychoanalysis, as well as the architecture and the architectural effect establish the lefebvrian foundations to an architecture of enjoyment
