Abstract

This essay is proposed as an introspection in the semiotic reflection on the rhetorical properties of inhabited space, from the position of what is known as taboo, a term extensively developed by Sigmund Freud. The inhabited space, due to the exclusivity of its architectural and urban conception, related to the syntactic and formal discourses promoted by academic language, closes the possibility of being read from its own cultural practices where its “hidden micro-discourses” can be readable. as established by the sciences of the sign such as semiotics and psychoanalysis. The design and aesthetic processes to materialize the inhabited space derive from fixed types and characters manifested in the design exercise, that is, from a spatial syntax that leads to rationalized encodings. For this reason, it is convenient to reflect on the elements that would allow us to recognize the role of the inhabited space with respect to the other systems of signs that are forged through the various practices of culture itself.
