Nature as Architecture

The exhibition Nature as Architecture turns around classical aesthetic reflections on the symbiotic relationship between nature and art, especially architecture. When the human being began to make art, he did so with the idea that his works would form part of the Great Creation. In the step from becoming an artificer to a creator, man set out to know the laws of nature, which finally meant entering into play with the divine work equating the artist with his Maker. Nature has then always been taken as a model, as a great ready-made architecture, from which to establish analogies as links of the cosmic unity between the factories of art and the created world. The curators of this exhibition, Rafael Sierra Villae´cija and J.

Their curatorship includes the artists Miquel Navarro, Juan Garaiza´bal, and Francisco Caparro´s
