DE LAS PASIONES DEL ALMA A LA ARQUITECTURA: UN PARALELISMO ENTRE LENGUAJES.

A journey which connects the languages of literature, drawing, sculpture and architecture is proposed with the aim of analyzing how words are shaped into materials. More specifically, those words that describe emotions. As well as studying the parallel between architectural and literary language. For that purpose, it is considered that Les passions de l'âme by Descartes (1649), is what led Le Brun to express emotions graphically through drawing. From the expression of passions on the face and the human physiognomy, it passed to the body, transforming those into architectural sculptures. The five types related to the emotions are highlighted from the thesis by Bordes (1986), in order to later study the conversion of architecture into anthropomorphic. What at first seems to appear directly, when converting the emotions into concrete forms, derives in the irremediable abstraction of contemporary architecture. An analysis that reviews the studies of different authors on art, architecture, expression and language, is then presented, which is key to justifying these connections. Afterwards, the language of architecture is compared with the literary language in a magical parallelism. This is a search for the translation of languages from the written form to the tangible, and from the tangible to the written, so the circle begins and ends on the fascinating theme of expression, as a link between languages, where aesthetics explains this union through art and the importance of feeling.
