The Master of Architecture program at the University of Chile invites you to the lecture "Is it Possible to Inhabit the Contemporary?", which will be delivered by Sergio Rojas.
The structures of inhabiting—generating places and circuits from subjectivity—are strained by the demands of the contemporary. "To be modern," writes Enrique Vila-Matas, "is to survive the city of your childhood." One must ask, then, whether we truly inhabit the city or, rather, exist "against" it. The contemporary condition of the city refers not only to its specific objective characteristics but also implies the fundamental fact that urban space exceeds the parameters of representation.
