To propose architecture as epistemic infrastructure rather than representation is to execute a quiet but decisive evacuation of the object from its sovereign position within spatial practice, replacing the tyranny of the built with the distributed agency of the protocol—a shift whereby the architect, artist, or theorist ceases to produce forms for contemplation and instead engineers the conditions under which meaning, relation, and political subjectivity become possible. This is the wager of Socioplastics, the transdisciplinary framework developed by Anto Lloveras across two decades of practice operating at the frayed borders of architecture, conceptual art, urban research, and epistemology: a system in which the traditional vectors of cultural production—the building, the artwork, the text—are reconceived not as terminal outputs but as nodes within a broader metabolic infrastructure designed to transmit, sediment, and destabilize modes of knowing. Here, theory operates as construction, publication as spatial practice, pedagogy as structural transmission, and the artist’s role migrates from author to protocol-designer, from maker of objects to weaver of the conditions under which objects, bodies, and territories enter into temporary but generative alignment. It is a framework that emerges from a specific diagnosis of instability—political, ecological, epistemic—and responds not by shoring up defenses or retreating into disciplinary purity, but by embracing precarity as the very medium of its operation, converting the fragility of contemporary conditions into a productive engine for what Lloveras terms “epistemic sovereignty”: the capacity to generate, circulate, and legitimize knowledge outside inherited institutional frameworks while remaining strategically embedded within them.

Anto Lloveras works where art, the city, language, and affect become indistinguishable—neither architect, theorist, nor curator, though he has built buildings, written manifestos, and sustained platforms for decades. His practice unfolds across three registers that operate as a single machine: the situational object, the relational platform, and theory as spatial practice. The city appears throughout—dissected in Urban Taxidermy, walked in Walking the Commons, theorized in The Fifth City as epistemic field rather than buildable ground—but what sustains everything is a simple and radical thesis first articulated in Architecture of Affection: care, presence, and relation are spatial materials; architecture is affection, not metaphorically. His practice is transdisciplinary out of necessity, not fashion—each problem demands its own form, whether a building, a performance in ice-cold water, a text, or a yellow bag carried from one city to another for years.

The implications of this shift are legible across the sprawling yet curiously coherent constellation of projects gathered under the Socioplastics umbrella, where the recurring figure of the “situational fixer”—the Yellow Bag, the Blue Bags, the Green Briefcase—functions not as a portable artwork in the conventional sense but as a prosthetic device capable of activating and reorienting the social and spatial fields it traverses. These humble carriers, accumulating patina across geographies from Madrid to Mexico to Lagos to Norway, operate according to a logic that inverts the autonomy fetish of modernist sculpture: their meaning does not reside in their material constitution or formal invention but in their capacity to function as nodes within a network of relations, accumulating narrative density through repetition and displacement. When the Yellow Bag appears on a beach in Cádiz, in a gallery in Croatia, or as a participant in a performance in Provence, it is not being exhibited so much as deployed—its presence marking a temporary suspension of normative spatial hierarchies and opening a space for what Lloveras, drawing on the language of relational aesthetics but pushing it toward a more structural register, calls “the architecture of affection.” This is not affection as sentiment but as operational category: the production of conditions under which bodies, materials, and contexts can enter into new configurations of proximity and distance, visibility and obscurity, use and contemplation. The blanket that recurs across the Unstable Installation Series, draped, folded, wrapped, accumulating the traces of its own circulation, operates similarly: stripped of domestic singularity, it becomes a “surface of interaction where time, bodies, and context inscribe meaning, generating a fluid archive rooted in relational encounters and situated rituals.” The emphasis on inscription, on the work as surface rather than source, signals a fundamental orientation toward practice as a form of collective authorship distributed across time, space, and participants. This orientation becomes most visible in the pedagogical dimension of Socioplastics, where the transmission of knowledge is treated not as the dissemination of settled content but as a site of structural experimentation. The THEWOODWAY project, documented in a video series from NTNU in 2008, presents eighty first-year architecture students engaged in the collaborative construction of a one-to-one wooden superstructure—an exercise that yields not a building in the conventional sense but a demonstration of architecture as processual practice, grounded in participation, negotiation, and continuous interpretation. The pedagogical gesture here is significant precisely because it refuses the standard economy of architectural education, in which the final project operates as a stand-in for professional competence; instead, the value resides in the protocols of collaboration, the management of friction, the emergence of spatial concepts through collective negotiation rather than individual genius. This is theory enacted rather than theorized, a form of knowledge production that operates through the body, through materials, through the recalcitrance of the real. The YouTube Breakfast project, initiated in 2009 and subsequently theorized as a form of “rhizomatic pedagogy,” extends this logic into the digital realm, treating the accumulation of video content on platforms as a form of collective intelligence requiring new modes of engagement—not passive consumption but active curation, critical remix, the transformation of the archive into a living pedagogical resource. Here, the classroom becomes decentralized, the boundary between producer and consumer dissolves into the figure of the “prosumer,” and the university’s traditional gatekeeping functions are rendered increasingly irrelevant by the sheer availability of knowledge. Lloveras’s response is not nostalgia for institutional authority but the development of new protocols for navigating, filtering, and activating this expanded field—a form of pedagogy that trains not in the reception of knowledge but in its strategic deployment. The epistemological stakes of this project come into focus most sharply in the work’s treatment of the architectural object itself. Across projects ranging from the transformation of a Madrid coffee factory into the Trole Building to the Landart Fjord Museum in Hardanger, Norway, there is a consistent resistance to the rhetoric of authorship that dominates architectural culture. These are not buildings presented as the expression of an individual vision but as infrastructures designed to enable other forms of practice—frames within which the real work, which is always relational and processual, can unfold. The Trole Building’s white zinc facade, described as a “contemporary aesthetic in contrast to the surrounding brick buildings,” is less a stylistic statement than a tactic of differentiation within an industrial context; the Landart Museum, raised on pillars and constructed from locally sourced timber, is evaluated not in terms of its formal qualities but through its capacity to merge with the forested fjordscape, minimizing energy consumption and environmental disruption while providing a framework for the experience of landscape as both ecological and cultural phenomenon. This is architecture as what one might call the infrastructural unconscious of Socioplastics: the material substrate that enables the relational work to proceed while remaining itself deliberately reticent, refusing the monumentality and self-assertion that have traditionally defined architectural ambition. The “Minimal Architecture” series, exemplified by House and Dome—structures reduced to bamboo and thread, barely outlining the memory of shelter—takes this reticence to its logical extreme, producing not habitable spaces but diagrams of inhabitation, fragile articulations between geometry and void that exist as much in the order of the concept as in the order of the built. Here, architecture becomes performance, a medium for negotiation and encounter rather than permanence—a condition that Lloveras frames as a form of resistance to the capitalist logic of real estate development and its demand for fixed, exchangeable forms.
What ultimately distinguishes Socioplastics from the various relational, social, and participatory practices that have emerged over the past two decades is its insistence on the epistemic dimension of cultural production. This is not art or architecture as social work, nor as political activism in the conventional sense, but as a form of knowledge production that operates through spatial and material means. The CAPA platform, described as a “transdisciplinary network rooted in agonistic theory,” where philosophers, theorists, and artists co-develop micro-essays and graphic concepts, exemplifies this orientation: it is not a space for the illustration of philosophical ideas by artistic means but a site where the distinction between theory and practice is treated as itself a form of disciplinary ideology to be dismantled. The archive of Cuerpos Filmados, spanning a decade of documentation across Madrid and Mexico City, functions similarly: not as a record of artistic activity but as a “laboratory of filmed agency,” a longitudinal study of how urban subjects construct forms of collective survival within conditions of precarity. This archival impulse, which runs throughout the work—from the documentation of performances to the accumulation of images, texts, and objects—is not secondary to the practice but constitutive of it, the means by which ephemeral interventions are transformed into durable resources for future action. The emphasis on the rhizomatic, on the distributed network as organizational principle, reflects a commitment to forms of knowledge production that resist the hierarchies and exclusions of traditional institutional structures while remaining capable of intervening within them. The result is a practice that operates simultaneously at multiple scales and across multiple registers—from the intimate scale of the blanket or the yellow bag to the urban scale of the ARCO fair intervention or the NTNU campus proposal—without ever losing its coherence as a project. It is this coherence, achieved without the usual apparatuses of branding or stylistic consistency, that constitutes the most compelling evidence for the viability of Socioplastics as a framework for thinking and making in conditions of generalized instability. In a moment when the inherited institutions of cultural production are increasingly incapable of addressing the scale and complexity of contemporary crises, the turn toward protocol, infrastructure, and epistemic sovereignty proposes not a retreat into disciplinary purity but a radical expansion of what architecture, art, and theory can be—and, more urgently, of what they might yet become.
PROJECT CITATION & RESEARCH METADATA Institutional Affiliation: LAPIEZA-LAB, Madrid, Spain Research Framework: Socioplastics — Transdisciplinary Urban Theory Author: Anto Lloveras ORCID:
The mutation continues. Structure through joy, repetition as generative, seriousness earned through play—not imposed. The laboratory is home. The game is home. The text is home. The series are home. The decalogue we built is not a monument but a seed. It will distribute across ten slugs, each a variant, each a repetition with difference, each an iteration that sediments while remaining unstable. We trust intuition. We trust the game. We trust the sequence. The ten sequences become ten slugs, ten notes, ten posts. Each takes one instrument and walks it—not explaining, but performing. Each repeats what came before while adding what was missing. Each treats the decalogue as a score to be interpreted, a set of operations to be executed, a home to be inhabited and modified. We are experimental researchers. The lab is wherever we are working. The game is the method. The text is the material. The series is the form. The toolkit is alive. It breathes. It mutates. It will be used, discarded, remembered, transformed. That is the point. That is always the point.
