FROM TECHNOLOGICAL DOMESTICATION TO DIGITAL DOMESTICITY: THE INHABITANT THAT COMES (I)

Abstract

At the crossroads of the fundamental of architecture and the study of the imaginary nested at the heart of works of fiction, this text questions the future of the conditions of the inhabitation. With an historical perspective, a dialogue is organized between technological domestication and digital domesticity so as to better define the ethical frameworks of this possible future. In this paper, the smartness of the house as an intrinsic reality guaranteed by the single act of architecture becomes a postulate. It is then faced with the impact of the human-machine interface on the physical environment of the house. A third point probes the impact of the rise in technology for the inhabitant that comes, to inhabit it and more generally humanism encouraged.
