Abstract: Potentia Gaudendi is a research project on architecture and sexuality. It is based on the idea that architecture is a speculative means of investigation with which to construct realities, not only tectonically. The project proposes a methodology for producing spatial subjectivities that aligns with a community of disobedient or dissident users. This community expresses its desire through non-normative sexual practices, a series of actions capable of generating other spatial realities that are sensitive to their bodies and identities. This project proposes a spatial production through assemblage and performativity, articulated as tactics to subvert the cultural stereotypes used to make sense of normative architectural production. It is an open and unfinished project; the proposed approach invites the installation of a shared rhythm of interpretation, that is, it arises from the desire to synchronise our bodies to create a space of strange coherence.
