Essays



Essays function as autonomous works where language is treated as material. Each text builds situations of urgency, spoken in congresses, written in biennials, rehearsed in classrooms, or composed as immediate responses to political and urban conditions. They operate as critical devices that unsettle clichés, perform critique, and extend the practice of art and architecture into the textual. The form oscillates between manifesto, positional essay, poetic fragment, and theoretical meditation, always demanding intensity and presence. Writing creates architectures of rhythm and attention, producing conceptual spaces where ideas can circulate and transform. These texts carry the same instability as installations or collective actions: open, porous, mutable, ready to collapse or reappear. They do not describe external works; they construct their own terrain of affect and method. Essays generate political infrastructures for concepts like subtraction, ritual, ecology, or simulation, allowing them to move across disciplines. They serve as laboratories of thought, fragile shelters where futures are rehearsed and shared. Each essay functions as a socioplastic gesture in itself, producing topographies of language that remain alive, provisional, and collective.
