Architecture can just as easily arise, oppose or impose itself in the environment as well as integrate into it. Each intervention is a new case with its specific problem, each Architect will provide its own response. Only the quest for the “agreement” of the “just proportion”, of the “correspondence between various elements” pre-existing or constituted should concern us. If this is not the case, you might as well throw away, pell-mell, with the bathwater, the Ronchamp Chapel by Corbusier, the Sydney Opera House by John Utzon, the Anna do Catalac by Cantinon Calatrava, the Tribaou Center by Renzo Piano, Frank Lloyd Wright’s Guggenheim Museum etc, etc… in short, all the projects that can be seen!   Let Frank Lloyd Wright’s house on the waterfall be concrete, corbelled over the fall of water, it proves that a tiltramodern house (in 1936!) can magnify a natural landscape splendid instead of weakening it. It is an example of this “correspondence between various elements”, and therefore of “environmental integration-absorption”. Architecture can be a sculpture out of step with its environment if it concludes an “agreement” with it, a “just proportion”. But since we are talking about sculpture, your question was ART. I answered: Emotion. Emotion is a “moral disorder” but the etymology that I prefer comes from the Latin “motio” which means “movement” or “disorder, shiver” (of fever). The work of Art is the emotion that disorder, causes this “inner movement” of shivering. The work contains the vibration that its progenitor lived and transmitted, even provoked. This fever, this movement affects us, for good, for bad, in laughter, in tears, in “fever”, it doesn’t matter, it is this “movement” that must be experienced.
