Inhabitable Sculpture

Inhabitable Sculpture | Lisbon | Portugal The modular base of the Inhabitable Sculpture, exibited in Lisbon in the year 1968, has it´s origins in a modular organic unit, with an antropomorphic root that by repeating itself in a serial way, takes shape in a number of sculptorical units. 40 years later, this modular unit with 15 cm leght, was digitalized envolving an increase of 56 times it´s original size, thus allowing to go from a manipulable piece to penetrable one, granting what is in architectural terms an inner space. The chromed iron that materialized the modules in the sixties, was replaced by cork in its natural state, that was used in coating both the inner and outer layer of the new metal structure. The thermic and acustic capacities of the cork, the soft ,and chromatic values of it´s inner surfaces, renders it particularly adequante to the definition of an inner space, the texture and the chromatic values of the corks outer surface, allows the definition of a landscape intervention concept. More than the exercise of confronting the new size and the materialization of this piece, both in terms of inner and outer space, one aspect must be refered, the search for a composit exercise on the spheric shape, seeking it´s place as na architectonical piece conected to a minimal existencial concept. The inhabitable sculpture still continues the equasioning of the phisical problematic of it´s origin whit the intention of pursuing an aspect of ambiguity between sculpture and architecture, now definitely at an architecture scale.
