Description
Résumé:The notion of sociality describes associative tendencies that are constituted as a response to the contingent tensions of their environments. Based on ethnographic observations of high-rise buildings in Santiago, Chile, this text describes the trends in sociality that account for the external and internal contingencies of their residential operation. The infrastructural character that sociality assumes in high-rise residential buildings is identified and accounted for, and two tendencies that organize it are described: one speculative, generic and abstract, which was qualified as pre-objective; and another situated, singular and locally made, which was qualified as contingent. Understood as an infrastructural quality of socio-technical environments, sociality accounts for the bonds of responsibility present in the communities that inhabit them and can be considered as a specific phenomenon within the governance of built enviro ments.
