Domestic Astronomy

Domestic astronomy is the prototype of an apartment where you no longer occupy a surface, you occupy an atmosphere. As they leave the floor, the functions and furnishings rise: they spread and evaporate in the atmosphere of the apartment, and they stabilize at certain temperatures determined by the body, clothing, and activity. Our proposal is to make allowances for these physical differences in the distribution of temperature in space and to exploit them by changing the way of life, to replace a horizontal way of living with a vertical one where we can occupy different heat zones, different layers, and different heights. Thus, to create a global ecosystem like a kind of astronomy in the home, where combinations of temperature, lights, time, and place are reconfigured. Domestic astronomy es un prototipo para un apartamento donde ya no se ocupa una superficie, se ocupa una atmósfera. Al abandonar el suelo, las funciones y el mobiliario aumentan: se esparcen y se evaporan en la atmósfera del apartamento y se estabilizan a temperaturas determinadas por el cuerpo, la vestimenta y la actividad. Nuestra propuesta es tener en cuenta estas diferencias físicas en la distribución de la temperatura en el espacio y explotarlas cambiando la forma de vida; sustituir una forma de vida horizontal por una vertical donde podamos ocupar diferentes zonas de calor, diferentes capas, diferentes alturas. Y así crear un ecosistema global como una especie de astronomía en el hogar, donde se reconfiguran combinaciones de temperatura, luces, tiempo y lugar. According to the law of Archimedes, hot air rises while cold air descends, and this physical reality has a direct influence on the distribution of temperatures inside the apartment. One can measure large disparities in temperature between the floor and the ceiling. For example, it will be 19 degrees Celsius at the level of the feet and 28 degrees Celsius, three meters above that, right under the ceiling.
