Abstract

This article stems from the doctoral research "The house lived or the world made by ourselves. An approach to design on the ways everyday architecture is worked in San Jose, Manizales - Colombia,” in an attempt to bring disciplinary knowledge closer to the subjective notions that determine other world-building logics through the materiality of domestic space. This first scenario of the physical-symbolic relationship of the subject with the world finds in the body the condition of possibility of said relationship, that is, the "there" of "being" with things and, therefore, with the world. This ethnomethodology-driven qualitative research subverts the logics normally used in the approaches to architectural deeds as products of culture and reveals the value of the poetic logics of working onto another, and their inalienable link with the dynamics of everyday life.
