Abstract
This paper poses architecture as a body of air immersed in an archipelago in which it exchanges specific matter with other bodies of air. We will explore the transscalarity of air, the imagery of the Patchy Anthropocene illustrated by A. L. Tsing, the idea of the body of air as a respiratory prosthesis with the help of the work Bodies of Water by A. Neimanis, to arrive at the opposition of an anthropology of the isolation of air, against the idea of space as a membrane by S. Ebeling. It concludes with a narration that explores a possible architecture of bodies of air mediated by the alliance between landscaping and architecture.
