Arquitectura y Poesía
abstract
This article presents some considerations about the specific way in which poetry has interacted with architecture in its desire to create meaning. The architect’s imagination fall far from any calculation of structures and risk assessment. But no matter how modest the point of departure, the consequences are ambitious because poetic reflections on architecture inevitably lead to a complicated terrain: the questioning of identity, that is, the inevitable tension between a wish in empty space and a need for formalization.
