CATEGORIA: Arquitectura

DESCRITIVO:
This research aims to present the concept of materiality based on the perception of colour and light as fundamental element for the understanding of space. This dialogue is established between the synchronic/diachronic on one hand and on the other between the underlying movements from natural to artificial environments. This is accomplished by reinforcing the relevance of interpretation of a “space-recipient” that by the effects of light and colour presents itself in constant mutation and with a variety of appearances. The meanings reveled by the potential inherent to the formal and communicative domains act as a structured process where time and allegories create the Ariadne’s thread which connects us to Earth. In fact, colour has elemental component that are common to most cultures and have revealed themselves since ancient times in terms of the relation between nature and metaphysics where behavior, transformation and concept underlie the discovery of “new immaterialities” of colour and light. This theme associated matter with expressive properties, as well as with cultural identities and other unexpected fields of multi-sensorial language. In search for an aesthetic position, the analysis used operational concepts that supported key studies from Portugal and other countries. In an era characterized by a variety of expressions which underlie the entire visual culture and new interactive technologies, the research uses case studies to highlight the relevance of the complex array of meanings attached to the relations between colour and the light.
