Abstract
We understand the role of documentation as a mean to archive or to work as evidences or even to remember us of something. “Fundamentally, every document is something that references something outside itself and is part of a broader system.” In this sense, a representation becomes a document once it is situated within a classificatory scheme or other broader system in relation to an object (architectural object) or an idea (architectural theoretical proposition). This paper explores the role of art as a register with historical value in the history of architecture. We consider the case go Journey into the Invisible a curatorial project, that won the FAD Award 2020 for Though and Critics (http://arquinfad.org/premisfad/es/ediciones-anteriores/?edicio/2020/obra/10749/). The project presented historical documents together with artistic interpretations with the same value in the construction of the, here called, invisibilities. We present and discuss a methodology, based in the curatorial project, to ensure the relevance of the artwork as a key document to understand space and architecture, within its “perceived” space of the “physical” world, a “conceived” space of the “mental” world and a “lived” space of the “social” world approach, that he defines respectively as “spatial practice”, “space representations” and “representational spaces”, seeking with this distinction to capture different analytical perspectives on spatial reality.
