Abstract

We find in Peter Sloterdijk’s approach a unique interpretation of architecture, which constructs a fresh perspective in the current architectural discourse, in that Sloterdijk returns to architecture’s importance by placing it in the broader contexts of how we shape our lives through viewing it as “spatial effect” and spatial production. Outside the approaches of current architectural discourse (which, after rethinking architecture’s role and function in the wake of criticism against modernity, has resigned to increasingly express the softened tonalities of finding contingent or idiosyncratic aesthetic expressions), Sloterdijk captures the moments of architecture’s practical implementation as intimately involved in creating and shaping the dynamic and mobile spaces in which they accommodate our existence. Being outside of the ideologizing schemes of a missionizing architecture, Sloterdijk gives back architecture its role by exactly seeing it through its essential prism, not only in the effects of spatial production but also the processual explication of dwelling by technological means. Here, we see how architecture intertwines with the ontological axis and how the human essence is bound inseparably with architecture.
