  • The Garden of Earthly Delights (1490–1500) is a triptych consisting of three frontal panels depicting paradise and hell. These panels require the viewer to collapse and close them to obtain a new perspective: the creation of the world. In this work, Bosch portrays small air pockets that suggest encapsulated architectures and introspective spaces, where conventional laws seem to have vanished.

    This essay explores the approach to small spaces incorporated into different triptychs at Casa Ugalde (Coderch, 1953), the Soane Museum (Soane, 1820), and Casa Vicens (Gaudí, 1885). It’s an architectural immersion in three projects that enables us to compile catalogs of micrographs showcasing “architectural drops”: bubbles trapped within the stained glass mass, revealing cartographies of an intangible and undiscovered space.

    Micrographs of this intangible space suggest a change in our scale, immersing us in a micro-world in search of new expressions that enable us to conceive a more vivid and creative form of architecture.
