Spatialities and Materialities: Articulations Between Architecture, Landscape, and Atmospheres

This article analyzes the production of two contemporary Brazilian architecture firms, specifically the intervention in Ilha Comprida Waterfront by Boldarini Arquitetos Associados and House in Cunha by Arquipélago Arquitetos. The study's premise is that these projects can serve as research objects offering a broadened perspective on architecture, defined by the interaction between the body —sensitive and constantly engaged in a dynamic cognitive process— and the concept of space. As the research is in its early stages, it seeks to explore articulations between environment, landscape and atmospheres. This is achieved through concepts from related fields of knowledge such as geography (landscape), philosophy (phenomenology/atmospheres) and communication (spatialities, materialities). The results of this qualitative, exploratory and descriptive analysis suggest promising opportunities for expanding the scope of these examples by incorporating field research with audiovisual documentation into the project
