Sammanfattning:According to Antonie Picon in “Ornament: the politics of architecture and subjectivity”, the return of ornamentation as a practice today has several continuities with the classical ornament in terms of the subjectivity and politics.In this context, the first objective of this article is to revise the concept of subjectivity in contemporary ornament/architecture considering the ideas developed by the “object-oriented ontology” theory. Taking for instance an object created by a multi-agent system and manufactured with a clay extruder attached to a robotic arm, we wonder if the contemporary ornamental practice could continue to be referred as such, if the existence of the subject is no longer resolving and regulating its design and execution.Secondly, the idea is to speculate if designers, in the context of post-work and full automation theories, will rediscover the sense of architectural forms that might give a political meaning to the ornament today.
