Espacialidad corpórea. Trasvases entre vestimenta y arquitectura

Architecture and clothing respond to the idea of corporeal spatiality in which space is defined by the bodies and energies contained in it. Starting from this, fashion can be defined as a set of ephemeral wearable devices whose learnings at a conceptual, structural, material, semiotic, aesthetic, economic, social and/or environmental levels are often inspired in architecture, leaving marks in its understanding; it is an ongoing exchange through its processes of creation and realization. This paper focuses in underlining the transversal paths by which fashion and architecture establish conceptual dialogues between them, creating a mutual knowledge transfer. For this purpose, an update of the state of the matter of the topic is presented in the first place through the organization of the bibliography, together with a historical comparison that is valid for either of the two disciplines and that serves as a starting point in the approach of numerous research questions. Secondly, a classification of the texts is shown according to three categories repeated numerous times in them: architecture and clothing as information terminals; architecture and clothing as natural-artificial sheaths; and the relationships between architecture and clothing and the typology-topology binomial. Using hermeneutics research, this paper expects to continue a dialogue around both disciplines through these three understandings.
