- A Leap of Faith in the Realm of the Possible
- Abstract
- The architectural projects and building operations conducted
over the past three decades by Patrick Bouchain and his
collaborators challenge a series of assumptions regarding
architecture’s authorship, its purpose and usage. Examined in
light of Paul Ricoeur’s theory of action revealed in The Course
of Recognition (2007), several of Bouchain’s experiments,
such as the recently founded École du domaine du possible in
Arles, can be understood as tactical, generous and convivial
ways of making space where users are recognised through
their deeds: as authors, inhabitants and citizens.
