Entre algoritmos e afetos: a arquitetura, o espaço e o digital

Abstract

The present research aims to problematize implications from a digital standpoint mediating the relation between different individuals, the space and architecture, that is, what happens in the relation between the algorithm and the affection. Seeking a closer connection with the technological universe together with aspects of experiencing the space, this research was not only based on theoretical background but also on empiricism, accessing experiments on spaces motivated by the digital – that was a crucial step for research development. The aspects that strongly guided the discussion came from the use of diagrams as theoretical-methodologicalconceptual-analytic instruments. That being so, the present research is organized based on the problematization of space mediation through digital surfaces and its consequences over the body-space relation. The different ways by which screens have been placed as a determinant element on experiencing the space were observed based on reflections from Flusser (2008; 2011). As for the role of the body, the fragmentation of the experience and the consequences allowed by the digital were a crucial issue for the analyzed context, as the dematerialization of its possible concreteness through digital relations. Therefore, the present dissertation sought a reading of the digital as close as possible to human relations, recognizing its strong implications to the space, on architecture and over the human condition itself.
