A book for architects
Far from being an architecture essay to use, the proposal addresses some reflections on this discipline from aesthetics, literature or film, and also the real experience of Fernando Abellanas.
Synopsis
Compelled by an unexplained force, the protagonist of Fissure (Fisura) enters the constructed world as though it were a virgin forest. Throughout the various adventures which this essay describes, Joris imagines suspended hiding places, nuclear bunkers, secret cinemas, underground cities: above all he suggests a way in which one can see the residual spaces of the city, can give meaning to an urban space's empty sites and unused margins. In his unending search for a silent architecture, he manages to recover the emotions we feel when we for the first time turn the corner of a previously-known street and discover a building that may have always been there but which we had never before truly noticed. The moment in which the plan of a city which we had thought we knew perfectly opens out and makes us feel... not surprise, but rather a kind of truly liberating anxiety.
