Procesos de creación en arquitectura o construcciones ilusorias. Límites difusos en la obra del grupo Utopía

Abstract

This article intends to show how architectural creative processes produce speculative images about the urban space that derive in discourses characteristic of the art field. For this purpose, some graphic works of Utopia will be analyzed through visual art, architecture and urbanism discourses, in order to place the group´s art work within a horizon of understanding that at first appears diffuse. Utopia group formed by architects Ana Patricia Gómez, Fabio Antonio Ramírez and Jorge Mario Gómez, constitutes one of the first art-architecture fusion groups in Colombia, and has been in charge since 1979 of bringing the language used in architectural design processes to territories of art. For the purpose of analyzing their work, some international artists-architects who served as a reference for Utopia´s activity between 1979 and 1992, particularly Rem Koolhaas, Aldo Rossi, Cedric Price and groups Archigram and Superstudio will also be taken into consideration.
