Abstract

This essay relates stickiness to architecture. It imagines an alternative to the distinct boundaries associated with modernism, conceiving the built environment as a fluid agent, with forms derived from apocryphal arrangements, imbued in sentiments and connected through an ecology of totality. To unravel, speculatively, this possibility, the elaborations on sliminess by Jean Paul Sartre, fluidity by Luce Irigaray, emotionality by Sara Ahmed and interrelatedness by Timothy Morton are juxtaposed and construed in architectural terms. These qualities of stickiness posit architecture as an existential and feminist project, in continual mutation, opposed to pure rationalism and strict functionalism.
