Homes: How to design our topography?

Emanuele Coccia at Guggenheim

Emanuele Coccia is a philosopher and an associate professor at the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales in Paris. Through his inquiries across media, collaborating with photographers, curators, designers and artists, Coccia has often examined the materiality of the contemporary world, traversing nature, urban space and fashion, writing an aesthetics for the Anthropocene Era. In his latest book, The Philosophy of the Home, Coccia meditates on a familiar concept—the domestic—to deconstruct the outdated assumptions built into our homes, emphasizing the need for the architecture we practice today to respond to emerging forms of living together.
