Post-Domestic Revolution
Abstract
Over the past three years, the international debate on architecture and design has been deeply influenced by various crises, including health, environmental, social, and economic emergencies. In this dynamic, post-pandemic context, the integration of new technologies into domestic spaces through personal devices has profoundly altered the way these spaces are utilized. From the initial impact of television screens and computers to the contemporary intrusion of social networks, video games, and artificial intelligence, interiors are constantly evolving and adapting to technological advancements that redefine their functional boundaries. The notion of Post-Domesticity, as introduced by philosopher Paul B. Preciado in his work Pornotopia. An Essay on Playboy’s Architecture and Biopolitics (2014), serves as a precursor to the current scenario marked by the erasure of boundaries between public and private spheres.
