A arquitetura como ficção: superfícies gráficas e perspectivas paradoxais para o espaço: a obra de Regina Silveira

Abstract

This study proposes a reflection on the possibilities of awareness of architectural spaces throu­gh the graphics interfaces of surface, performed in site-specific installations of the artist Regina Silveira. The research is aimed at the expansion of critical reflection on the quality of sensory experiences in built spaces and also point reconciliation possibilities between the technical dimension and expressive content in contemporary architecture through the interdisciplinary relationship between architecture, art and graphic design. Furthermore, it should investigate to what extent the exercise of art towards a merger of the contradictions inherent to the com­plexity of contemporary living environments can be considered on the agenda of projective activities and theoretical discussions in architecture, as well as surface design field applied to the built environment. The theoretical framework is based on the phenomenology and per­ception studies, always grounded in theories of art, architecture and graphic design. The study considers the site-specific art as a maximum tensioning territory these issues in architecture, but also make notes on the surface design as a means of expanding the relational field of ar­chitectural works and of sensitive experiences in daily life.
