- Abstract
The Jewish narrative, at once eternal and mobile, provides a flexible and
living foundation, opening a place of discourse and continuity —
uniting its diasporic people. Located in the between, the Diasporic
Wanderer recognizes himself both as Other and as being among the
Other. In contrast to the Gentile Home, constructed by the domination
and exclusion of the Other, the Jewish Home is the recognition and
welcome of/in the Other. This hypothesis is translated into the design
of a Book-(im)mobile that travels the intersection of meuble and
immeuble described by Levinas. Inscribing itself temporarily through an
architectural discourse and reinstating continuity with/in the Other,
the Book-(im)mobile challenges the traditional architectural metaphor,
exposing the tension between permanence and stability in the
building/ground relationship. Diasporic consciousness, alterity, and the
textual traditions of Talmud and misdrash provide the framework for
reconciling the ambiguous relationship between the archi text and
architecture of Home.
