Abstract

Impossible research in architecture, or the impossible as research. The impossible with all its load of temptations and hopes has been assumed in this article as energy, revitalizing the meanings that promote a good birth for an architectural project. This is the impossible making of images that are capable of reflecting the logical and symbolic dimension of the forms of architecture, mutually boosting them. Impossible research to be reduced to a mere discursive reason for the production of meanings generated by the IT/media world, but necessary to reawaken the constitutive interweaving of an imaginative conception of the architectural project, and constitutive of the soul of reality.
