Summary/Abstract: This statement is composed of three parts, with the first introducing the conceit of the relational space that appears between traditional opposites, such as: private space – public space. In relational space the home remains areal place, but its location becomes mobile. Between enrootment and mobility there co- mes into being athick network of connections, trans- itory and hybrid forms. In the second part the Aristo- telian conception of the „good life” is interpreted as an element of the realisation of the modern promesse de bonheur, assuming the form of assorted cultures of dwelling. The last part discusses three vectors of rela- tional space in which we may place – in different forms – modern cultures of residence. Their foundations are composed of: 1. The philosophy of enrootment, 2. The philosophy of the language, 3. The philosophy of acti- vity. Each also possesses its negative version, in which the prime categories are re-deciphered, re-interpreted, deconstructed and, finally, rejected.
