Art and architecture: a gnoseological perspective for our time

Abstract

Architecture is the terrain from which to reflect and recognize the complexities that art contains in its relationship with public space and the community. However, it is not trivial that certain lines of modern and late-modern thought, through their categorizations, paid attention to the relationships between art and architecture from a perspective that we shall agree to call gnoseological, which would recognize both the disciplinary particularities and the specific condition of creator knowledge and its position in relation to the other knowledge that composes a society. After the political failure of the modern project, and in an increasingly complex scenario in which culture and public space represent significant used for the new economies, these relationships could once again represent both the bases of the redefinitions to which art and architecture are subjected due to epochal changes, as well as the recognition of the common space to which they aspire.
