Abstract

All architecture has an space between the landscape and the mask, that is, occupies the spaces between the construction of the nature and the face, or, equivalently, between the colective and the intimate: the city and the house. But thinking architecture with imagination makes it an expression and re-presentation of the symbolic, and, in the same way, makes that the imagined spaces and invented forms for the beauty are the configurations of the monumental, ideological and its power. However, when architecture is thought in its specific limits, in its terms, it gets its final forms of the masks of the empti­ness and their ultimate spaces of the landscapes of immobility or, what is better, the immobile forms of time: the wall and the statue. Immobility of architecture which is the visibility of silence in the spaces.
