El espacio expositivo como laboratorio arquitectónico: la Endless House de Frederick Kiesler
The model of Frederick Kiesler’s Endless House was part of the MOMA’s exhibition Visionary Architecture, organised in New York, in 1960. This project, not built, developed the concept of endless in domestic space from ideas defined by the author in the Manifesto of Correalism, where architecture, biology and technology are together. Conceived as a second skin to human body, biomorph and continuous, creates in the interior a space that reject the premises of Modern Movement in favour to the consideration of architecture psychological influence in its inhabitants. This article proves how the Enless House is the result of a creative process developed by Kiesler in his exhibition space projects as architectural ideas laboratories where spectators interact with it and with the object of art. The Enless House summarises these finds through the construction of a membrane from: the integration of arts, the psychological relationship with the space and as a second skin to the body. This proposal is an example of a pioneer architecture from multidisciplinary perspectives that includes biology, art, technology and human behaviour.
