HYPERCOMFORT

Keeping the body in its comfort zone is the secret formula of our daily environment. As soon as a door is opened, the environment must be tamed, air-conditioned, and sanitized. Our body has cut itself off from climatic, acoustic, luminous, and safety variations. The paradox of this control is that it seeks to make itself invisible, while at the same time being very concrete. There is no architectural project without its array of machines and protocols that must be integrated into it. These constraints are nothing more than the spatial and technical translation of administrative norms that govern our environment. Mastery of environments or control of environments? The nuance is sometimes di�cult to grasp. The fact remains that in contemporary space, the more the user is guided, the more standardized the paths are.
