In the face of the radical convergence of a health crisis and an ecological crisis, it is not possible to return to the investigative trajectories on inhabitation and dwelling that yielded good results in the past. What is it that now defines inhabitation within the plurality of conditions, geographies, and politics that connote it? Lifelines is a work of collective research on the spaces where life intertwines, mingles, and twists in constant resistance to the mechanisms that capture, exploit, and create the social and environmental precariousness that characterizes the violent techno-capitalist present. The book investigates the roles and challenges of design in uncertain spaces and brings together empirical explorations from Italy, Ecuador, the US, Lebanon, Germany, and the UK.

Stemming from a two years collaborative research the volume聽investigates the roles and challenges of design in uncertain spaces and brings together empirical explorations from Italy, Ecuador, the US, Lebanon, Germany, and the UK.

What is it that now defines inhabitation within the plurality of conditions, geographies, and politics that connote it? Lifelines is a work of collective research on the spaces where life intertwines, mingles, and twists in constant resistance to the mechanisms that capture, exploit, and create the social and environmental precariousness that characterizes the violent techno-capitalist present.聽Lifelines are a collage of different excavations on those spaces聽that resist abandonment and聽carelessness, the true generators of precariousness and exhaustion,聽while offering the possibility of protection 鈥渇rom the specter of self-destruction.鈥�

Using the lens of infrastructures as spaces and medium, as relations and openness, each of the 17 chapters reflect on the fact that聽living is not a question of survival but a process of continuous adaptation between protection and freedom, between care and control;聽and this adaptation is a struggle, it is finding ways to escape, degrees offreedom; a struggle to transform the existing by coming to terms with聽vulnerabilities where 鈥渓ifelines are nothing more than inhabiting the meanders of adversity, of聽coming to terms with life, vulnerable and collective, resisting the adversity聽of what is there by creating space for maneuvers, support, operations聽of liberty鈥�.
