Abstract:

Contemporary architecture as an expression of culture and aesthetic, goes through the same changes as these areas:  excess of information turned into opinions; predominance of the non-fiction on knowledge and criticism; phenomenological excess that builds an existential “I” that hold fast to the networks. In addition to its symbolic value especially apt for its transmission with    established exogenous tales, it exhibits as a performance: and so, it has been attacked by politics, participatory activism and social experimentation. For this, one part is driven to the epicentre of an aesthetic unfolding: the aesthetic of appearance; of the relational, of the established or of dissent and finally the aesthetic of emergence or of laboratory.  However, the successive transformations of the contemporary subject, immersed in the hyperreality and familiarity with holographs or videospheres that shape their experience- for knowing that they have shared a channel- is characterised as a subject of the real, in relation to its visual thinking:  this sphere unyielding to the symbolic and the imaginary, halfway between the mystic and the sublime or the always present indifference could prescribe the emergence of an aesthetic of the real.

Keywords; aesthetic of appearance, relational, emergence, aesthetic of the real
