The specific knowledge that architecture has is the capacity to rearticulate how things relate to each other. That's the specific knowledge of architecture-architects know how to reconstruct relationships among humans, technologies, and environments in meaningful ways.
Jaque argues for a paradigm shift in architecture's focus from aesthetics to its role in reconfiguring connections, advocating for a more dynamic approach that recognizes the ecological and societal relationships involved.
In discussing domestic spaces, Jaque asserts they are inherently political and public. He highlights how mundane actions, like separating waste, can significantly impact and reflect the ecological politics of our society.
Through projects like IKEA Disobedience, Jaque critiques the compartmentalization in architecture, calling for a recognition of the political dimensions of domesticity, thus challenging the traditional divide between private and public realms.
