From ready-made to the diagram. Interactions between art and contemporary design

A work of art is a unit complete in itself; the architectural work is a complex product, an operation of synthesis. When a work of architecture succeeds in concealing this plurality of physical, functional and economic components, resolving itself in the perfection of a single sign, relying on the uniqueness of meaning that springs from its own symbolic charge, it establishes and determines the existence of a common ground between art and architecture. The exchange of influences in this common ground involves some of the most multifaceted and interesting artistic figures of the modern and contemporary panorama and focuses on the use of architectural and landscape design to try to intercept energy fields and forces of nature that are not visible. Great figures in modern and contemporary architecture use the abstraction of form to synthesize the methodological process of composition necessary for the transformation of reality that the project imprints or the configuration of space as an inescapable condition of the experience of being in the world.
