• Resumen

  • While abstract thinking was born through language, it is through art that it has influenced other areas. However, its potential, as a resource and a creative force, is undervalued today. This essay intends to delve into the origins of self-expression through abstract art by taking a look at the thought processes involved, by seeking to clarify how they occur, and by exploring the possible relationship between this tool and other areas of contemporary architectural design.

    As a starting point, the assumption is made that abstract art contributes to the development of skills and to the management of tools in artistic disciplines, and it helps to incorporate concepts and principles of order into architectural projects.
