In his project New Babylon (1956– 1974), artist Constant Nieuwenhuys proposes an alternative society that dedicates its time to creativity and play, and where human work becomes superfluous. Architectural paradigm of the free space and leisure enabled by the automation of work, New Babylon was also able to visualize the architecture of the post-labor world. A world that, fifty years later, is beginning to take concrete shape. Today, the architecture of full automation is being implemented in places like the Netherlands and China. Its introduction shakes the labor markets, as well as the configuration of human spaces and work tasks that have become obsolete with the emergence of machines in the production centers. These disruptive changes, however, could also be a trigger for the reinvention of the notion of human work and its architecture, from the perspective of its possible obsolescence. The architectural discipline faces the challenge of responding to the introduction of automation technologies. A research and innovation domain that still lacks a critical spatial perspective, automated architecture is, however, fundamental to discern an imminent future and, ultimately, to explore our agency and capacity to accept or challenge it.

Rara vez le llega a la arquitectura su obsolescencia funcional. Lo habitual es el desencanto: una obsoles- cencia del entusiasmo que desvela el agotamiento emocional de sus habitantes, de un grupo cultural o de toda una sociedad. Frente a las narraciones que describen la obsolescencia como un estado previo a la refundación, cabe pensar en esta como un estado de multiplicidad que resulta de la coexistencia de vidas proyectadas en torno a un mismo objeto construido. Revertir una de esas obsolescencias puede suponer acabar con la existencia del otro. Desde esta perspectiva es posible idear una estrategia proyectual no binaria que plantee una coexistencia más compleja y asimétrica. En el caso que aquí nos trae, los años vivi- deros de la casa Farnsworth, esa posibilidad surge de la concepción de una arquitectura blanda, subversiva y crítica, capaz de aceptar la complejidad de su permanente agotamiento y su constante reinvención.

La ducha popular es un instrumento que, en el siglo XIX, se aplica como tratamiento médico frente a los comportamientos anormales, ejerciéndose en un laboratorio en busca de resultados. Al considerarse demasiado coercitiva, esta práctica pasa a utilizarse como calmante de los estados eufóricos o epilépticos, y después como método disuasorio contra la locura. A principios del siglo XX se analizan estadísticamente los efectos de la ducha en un espacio pedagógico, pasando a definirse como un gabinete de hidroterapia donde se desplazan fluidos de razón y de emoción dentro y a través del cuerpo.

Rarely does architecture reach its functional obsolescence. The usual is disenchantment: an obsolescence of enthusiasm that reveals the emotional exhaustion of its inhabitants, of a cultural group, or a whole society. Given the narratives that describe obsolescence as a stage prior to that of re-founding, one might think about it as a state of multiplicity that results from the coexistence of lives projected around the same built object. To revert one of these obsolescences may suppose ending the existence of the other. From this perspective it is possible to devise a non- binary project strategy to pose a more complex and asymmetric coexistence. In the case that we are presenting here, the living years of the Farnsworth House, this possibility emerges from the conception of a soft architecture, subversive and critical, capable of embracing the complexity of its own exhaustion and constant reinvention.

La arquitectura necesita dar respuesta, en el ámbito doméstico, al continuo y vertiginoso cambio en las necesidades y en las formas de vida de la sociedad contemporánea. Por ello, proponemos explorar el con- cepto de “adaptabilidad” en la vivienda a partir del estudio de una serie de proyectos en los que encontra- mos una disposición concreta de las estancias que denominamos “espacio equipotencial” o “en damero”. Esta configuración favorece la generación de una lógica abierta de relación entre espacios y actúa como un mecanismo que dispone a la vivienda para la adaptabilidad, permitiendo concebirla como un campo de juego abierto, electivo, dinámico y combinatorio.

One of the rising challenges for architects is to rethink the future of suburban territories built through the repetition of the detached single-family house. If until the 90’s the suburbs offered an attractive way of life, today many suburban territories arein demographic and economic decline. The province of Limburg in Flanders (Belgium) is a clear example of such condition. The article illustrates a design-research project that aimed at rethinking this suburban territory as a place where new generations could live and work. By reflecting on the historical circumstances that led to the construction of this suburban region, on the recent transformations of domestic space, and on the potential of landscape resources to restructure sprawling territories, the proposal becomes a wider case through which to start rethinking the condition of living and working in the contemporary city.
