Abstract
This text shows a reading of the common ecologies of several buildings in the History of Architecture, experimenting from the construction of devices which revisit these buildings and build new updated experiences. It theorizes two methodologies of reinterpretation and opens new dialogues about the ecologies we live with or provoke, from a contemporary revisiting of these iconic architectures. These dialogues open questions such as the divergences of the Anthropocene, the posthuman issues that occur around them, or even of transhuman technophiles. Their reconstruction and staging establish these new readings that open up these propositional views of Architecture, which are capable of articulating new presences. The production of these critical devices is based on the possibilities granted by advanced architecture and parametricism. The stories of these buildings occur through an organic body that stages and performs them with each of the devices, each story unfolding between anthropized virtual landscapes and forming a new hybrid and ecological view of these architectures.
