E-mail: nestor.casanova.1958@gmail.com En el presente artículo se propone afrontar el habitar urbano desde el seguimiento atento de la actividad cotidiana de las personas que pueblan la ciudad. Se trata de observar los modos en que los urbanitas excavan el lugar urbano para conferirle una peculiar, distintiva y leve arquitectura blanda que roza los espacios públicos y privados urbanística y arquitectónicamente construidos. Es desde una Teoría del Habitar que acaso se vuelva posible comprender mejor la contextura efectivamente vivida del territorio urbano. Se compara, entonces el modo en que el propio cuerpo de los urbanitas sirve de figura directriz de una de las mayores obras de arte comunitarias realizadas por la humanidad, que es la misma ciudad. A esto sigue una consideración especial sobreciertas actividades o gestos fundamentales que las personas habitantes realizan en su habitar cotidiano, con el que configuran una concreta arquitectura de lo urbano. Este conciso repaso se cierra sobre cómo la arquitectura de la ciudad construida constriñe yafrenta la frágil constitución de la vida urbanita en la actualidad.
