After Belonging

Objects, Spaces, and Territories of the Ways We Stay in Transit

Blanco Lluis Alexandre Casanovas, Galan Ignacio G., Minguez Carrasco Carlos, Navarrete Llopis Alejandra, Otero Verzier Marina

"After Belonging" examines the objects, spaces and territories of our transforming condition of belonging. The global circulation of people, information and goods has destabilized what we understand by residence, questioning spatial permanence, property and identity – a crisis of belonging.

Movement and exchange brings greater accessibility to ever-new commodities and further geographies. However, simultaneously, circulation also promotes growing inequalities for large groups who are kept in precarious states of transit. "After Belonging" is a thorough analysis of the evolution of global landscapes and societies and considers questions and issues surrounding our ever-changing sense of belonging.

The book examines both our attachment to places and collectivities as well as our relation to the objects we produce, own, share and exchange. It analyzes the architectures entangled in these de?nitions through a selection of projects, texts and case studies. The publication is the result of the work and research leading up to Oslo Architecture Triennale 2016 and is the official publication of the triennial.
