Sumario:The theoretical and sociological impact of Bakhtin and Lotman, with their dialogical social theories, upon architecture and art in general is very significant today. This impact has been analyzed over the last fifty years, but a lot of work is needed to understand the enormous potential of these dialogical theories in architecture, both in practice and in theory. In this article I will start with some recent ideas in relation to the dialogical genesis of architecture and urban planning, to describe later why this singular work of Bakhtin and Lotman has not been accepted by architects and designers in general, and why it remains in the shadow. This is not a common approach to the historical analyses of culture, but the complexity of the matter calls for an inverted temporal way, since anthropological spaces work in a very different way from the anthropological cultural analyses of the human dimensions of time.
