VERGARA-VIDAL, Jorge E.. Sociality and residential environment.. The case of high-rise residential buildings in Santiago de Chile. Bitácora Urbano Territorial [online]. 2021, vol.31, n.1, pp.99-111.  Epub 15-Jun-2021. ISSN 0124-7913.  https://doi.org/10.15446/bitacora.v31n1.87826.

The notion of sociality describes associative tendencies that are constituted as a response to the contingent tensions of their environments. Based on ethnographic observations of high-rise buildings in Santiago, Chile, this text describes the trends in sociality that account for the external and internal contingencies of their residential operation. The infra-structural character that sociality assumes in high-rise residential buildings is identified and accounted for, and two tendencies that organize it are described: one speculative, generic and abstract, which was qualified as pre-objective; and another situated, singular and locally made, which was qualified as contingent. Understood as an infrastructural quality of socio-technical environments, sociality accounts for the bonds of responsibility present in the communities that inhabit them and can be considered as a specific phenomenon within the governance of built environments.
