Summary:
Louise Bourgeois' work is profound and coherent, a cross between surrealism and expressionism, psychoanalysis and feminism, a fusion between object and concept. By means of spiral writing, symbolic in her prints, the artist rewrites her past through female identity and body image, a corporal synthesis of her every emotion and fear. She destroys and reconstructs her memories, like strange mutations or reflections in a distorted mirror.

From inspiration, through process and development, to transformation into idea and form. "I'm interested in exploring the possibilities of converting into architecture everything that has never been architecture before. It's a world that doesn't start from a preconceived form or scale, that explores the possibilities of being translated to generate an emotion in the viewer".

We understand nostalgia, desire, and hope as virtual; that is, even though they are not material, they are nevertheless real and must be accounted for. The authors take up affect, emotion, and emplacement and consider them in relation to one another and how they(...)

Summary:
The term Brutalism is used to describe a form of architecture that appeared, mainly in Europe, from around 1945–1975. Uncompromisingly modern, this trend in architecture was both striking and arresting and, perhaps like no other style before or since, aroused extremes of emotion and debate. Some regarded Brutalist buildings as monstrous soulless structures of concrete, steel, and glass, whereas others saw the genre as a logical progression, having its own grace and balance.
