Inhabiting, dwelling, time.Abstract
The concept of “inhabiting” has been one of the most influential ideas in the development of Modern Architecture. However, a hundred years after the beginning of that period, the premises that supported that notion have changed, which calls for a necessary revision of the concept.
The present article analyzes the main ideas towards which this concept of inhabiting gravitated in the past, and how they have been subsequently replaced by new ones. According to that, it is necessary to redefine its meaning so that it adapts to the current thinking, as well as, in our opinion, to change its designation and replace the old term “inhabiting”, charged with a static and eminently functional connotation, with the term “dwelling”, which, due to its etymology, allows for a more up-to-date comprehension of that idea, by referring to the time factor as well as to diverse experiences of spatial interaction.
