CONCEPTUAL ARCHITECTURE CONNECTIONS BEYWEEN THE ANALYTICAL TWIST OF RECENT ART AND PROJECT RESEARCH

Abstract

Architecture understood as art or knowledge - tejné - has its origins in an ancient complex that today refers to the transdisciplinary. It is from this context that we try to dive into the project as a problem in view of the specificity of its connection with recent art. This issue arise in the context of the research of the Doctoral Thesis currently being performed by its author in the Doctorate in Architecture department in the Faculty of Architecture, Urban Planning and Design (FAUD), National University of Córdoba (UNC): "Project research and cutting edge art. Connections between the analytical twist of recent art and architecture as cultural practice". This paper attempts to develop some points of that complex discussion, taking into account the project practice and its relationship with the field of art, in its more critical and self conscious face, where its genealogies lie on the avant garde, the analytical philosophy and even science. This means raising at least a level of suspicion on that project production which does not give rise to self-criticism. Some dialogues should then be recognised and reviewed in the context of the so-called analytical twist of art that took place in the second half of the twentieth century and a way to conceive the architectural project as a cultural practice. A device that builds knowledge for and from discipline/knowledge: the project as research
