ABSTRACT
This paper presents an articulation between reflections that cover the representation of the body in the architectural space and in the city, “inhabiting the earth” in a transient and unexpected way.
The idea of drawing, as an image of something that holds the memory of an urban event; the idea of the city as a phenomenon constructed from representations that catch passages of “bodies” in its perimeter or horizon, and, finally, the idea of body as an unpredictable element, which acquires meaning and assumes another representation in its diverse enunciation, are issues discussed from the work of artists, critics and philosophers selected as reference for this essay (AGAMBEM, PALLASMAA, VARELA, GALASSI, CALVINO, BRESSON).
The observatory body is dedicated in its detailed contemplation; the traveling body, shifting and projecting itself over what it looks at, in a reversal of roles and complicity between the one who draws and what is drawn; and finally, the artist body, author of ambiguities and imagined landscapes, are the three “bodies” selected by these authors to think the theme of this V Seminar, from a subjective perspective, an intimate connection of the observer and author of images with bodies that astonish perception as insurgent stimuli.
