Ar-quiteturas. Os infláveis como estratégia de reinterpretação do lugar
Architecture, a discipline called to design the living places, usually operates within a logic that has as main objective welcoming human acts. Its status as a built object requires an adequate response not only material, structural, spatial and environmental, but also in meeting the most vital demands of these acts. Art, on the other hand, can respond with almost absolute freedom, uncompromising with the proper habits of living, in which the act of dwelling can be questioned, freeing itself from its responsibilities related to life. This paper presents a clipping of the work of the artistic collective Penique Productios - the inflatables - their references and methodology, highlighting two interventions in Rio de Janeiro, carried out in a partnership between Penique, DAU PUC-Rio and FAU/UFRJ. The common denominator is to establish a connection between architecture, city and art, through large, ephemeral and habitable collective works that dialogue with the existing place, stimulating its reinterpretation. Key-Words: Inflatables, ephemeral interventions, site-specific interventions, contemporary art
