Abstract: The article theorizes the tourist dwelling at a conjunction of philosophy, social theory, tourism research, architecture and design in order to configure a conceptual framework for responsible and creative forms of encounters between tourists in material settings. It asks: What kind of social coexistence could the design of the tourist dwelling afford tourists? The main conclusion drawn from the theoretical analysis is that the tourist dwelling needs to be ‘un-designed’ by a novel conceptual approach to reach its potential in the mobile, material and social formations of dwelling-nearby with strangers. A novel theoretical conceptualization of mobile neighbouring is put forward as an ethical ontology and materialized sociality that will pave a way for thinking tourism in the post-host-guest societies of the future.
