Cartografías del espacio ocultoLaboratorio de experimentación arquitectónica

Resumen

The places that lead us to understand the concept of architectural space, which better have shown us the soul of space and the true luxury of architecture, are those that are not described from the outside, those who have not been shown so clearly, that have required some explo¬ration, those who remain in silent and in darkness, because the light reaches them timid, dense and filtered. When something weakens one of our senses, others are lit with intelligence, offsetting and leading to a state of greater attention. These spaces require activation of all of them, turning off one to accentua-te the others. Blindness has been with us in many of them, forcing us to learn new ways of moving in the space. Touch, hearing and smell have become, many times, in the eyes that have guided our di-ves, becoming on forms of perception more objecti¬ve and scientific than our own view. Somehow this research has taught us new ways of learning the space, opening doors that have been closed throughout history, revealing events that belong to the deepest intimacy of architecture.
