Concepción del espacio interior/exterior en la vivienda en base a la filosofía de Peter Sloterdijk

Abstract

This thesis focuses on applying Peter Sloterdijk's philosophical concepts to architectural design, specifically on the relationship between home indoor and outdoor spaces. The research explores how Sloterdijk's ideas of "bubbles, balloons, and foams" can help understand quality of life in contemporary architecture, examining the interaction between private and shared spaces and their impact on the sense of community and belonging. The research uses case studies in Cuenca's historical downtown, using a matrix that evaluates morphological, cultural, and social aspects. This method allows patterns to be identified in spatial organization and their effect on the inhabitants' functionality and experience. As a result, eight parameters based on Sloterdijk's theory are proposed to understand the indoor-outdoor relationship in houses. These emphasize the importance of harmoniously integrating both spaces, for example, through windows and terraces, to connect the building with its surroundings. Furthermore, they highlight the need to consider spatial diversity and the interconnection of different living areas to create environments that promote wellness among occupants.
