La representación verbal de la arquitectura

Abstract

In the arts and architecture of modernity it was tried to exclude the narrative/symbolic moment from both its production and its reception. However, and despite the attempts to remove from the architectural work any component that remits outside of it, it could happen that the mere action of perceiving –the built-up, or any other object– constituted an act in part linguistic from the beginning that, as such, contravene a speech about the contemplated inextricably interwoven with the pure-sensitive. The abstract form also acquires a multiplicity of senses and meanings through diverse mechanisms, some of which will be examined here briefly from a plurality of perspectives. The question of the narrativity of the architectural experience and the consequent possibility of representing the architectural through the word are of great importance for the development of the discipline.
