Interiors

The third episode of Spatial Aphorisms is dedicated to the recently deceased architect Paulo Mendes da Rocha, for whom the aim of architecture, as he himself said, is to ‘support the unpredictability of life’. Based on four fragments from Woody Allen’s film Interiors, released in 1978, we’ll be thinking about the creation of the shapeless or vague in architecture (among other ideas raised by the film).

Programme on the poetics of architecture. While the philosophical aphorism seeks to express a truth, the literary aphorism is characterised by its expressiveness. The programme aims to highlight this poetic dwelling that the word provides, referring to the relationship of spaces and bodies with life.
