Abstract

In order to reflect about the concomitance between architecture and art, their convergences and possibilities in contemporary times, materialized in conceptual manifest-projects, two examples will be analysed in this paper, the pavilion for the Serpentine Gallery by the Japanese architect Sou Fujimoto and the pavilion of the United Kingdom for the Universal Exposition Milan by the British artist Wolfgang Buttress. The two pavilions are projects that, searching for new understandings of our relationship with the world / the natural surroundings, fade away the line between architecture and conceptual art. This study will explore the ideas that gave origin and form to the pavilions in consequence of concepts that have been extracted from nature; in order (to pretend) to find the correlation points that are going to be discussed in the section of conceptual convergences. The discussion is going to be concluded with the syntheses of the study that are directed to reveal a projectual practice originated in the concomitance between the disciplines.
