Description
Unhoused tracks four figurations of troubled dwelling in Adorno's texts-homelessness, no man's lands, the nature theater, and the ironic property relation-and reads them as timely interventions and challenges for today's architecture, housing, and senses of belonging. Entangled as we are in juridical and financial frameworks that adhere to a very different logic, these figurations ask what it means to organize, design, build, and cohabit in ways that enliven non-exclusive relations to ourselves, others, objects, and place.
