Instalaciones arquitectónicas como experimentos espaciales

Abstract

This article focuses on architectural installations that emerged as an extension of installation art after the 1960s, mainly in the Western context. Architectural installations range from experimental folded geometrical structures by Lygia Clark to spatio-temporal performances by Vito Acconci, from corporeal performances by Bruce McLean and Klaus Rinke, to monumental and monolithic architectural spaces and digital/immersive environments. In these spatial experiments carried out by artists as well as by architects, the direct interaction from the audience with the established space emerges as crucial for the perception and completion of the work. In this article, the aim is to understand theinteraction between them, and the interdisciplinary boundaries of architecture within the framework of concepts such as boundary making, corporeality, and the monolithic through some of the chosen examples. The article aims to figure out what expansions these spatial experiments can create in the perspective of ourunderstanding and perception of architecture and interaction.
