A Casa e o Mundo
Luísa Sol & Ana Teresa Ascensão

The notion of Unhomely developed by Homi K. Bhabha describes the dissolution between the space of the Home and the space of the World, resulting from the gradual displacement brought about by the changing social, economic, political, technological and urban dynamics of the modern and postmodern era. Unhomely is associated with a relocation and redefinition of the Home and the World, a dislocation that makes its boundaries more versatile and ambiguous, also increasing the vulnerability of both the Home and the World.

Taking into consideration this permeability and the aforementioned assumptions, this book is the result of a conversation between architect Manuel Aires Mateus, psychoanalyst Vasco Santos and the two members of the art project Musa paradisiaca, which took place at the EDP headquarters building on September 23, 2017. The event was part of the Open House Lisbon/ Lisbon Architecture Triennal.
The book includes the essays ‘A Casa e o Mundo’ by Luísa Sol and the Portuguese version of the ‘The World and The Home’, by Homi K. Bhabha.

Bio Luísa Sol, PhD Architect and researcher, obtained her BA on architecture and her PhD, from the Faculty of Architecture – University of Lisbon. She worked as an architect at Triptyque Arquitetos (São Paulo, Brazil) and at Aires Mateus & Associados (Lisbon).
