1 Spatiality in Tensile Structures Silvia Titotto University of Sao Paulo, Brazil School of Architecture and Town Planning

2 This work outlines results of an ongoing investigation on aesthetics, using tensile structures as physical support and point of departure spatial reflections.

3 New naturality of the artificial world

4 Communication,kinesthetic perception,messages from the organic shape,formal exploitation/spatial composition

5 In this context, several artistic installations have been performed in Sao Paulo museums and galleries, in order to explore the intrinsic relationships between the technology of the membrane structural systems and the aesthetic possibilities open by their characteristic forms, interacting with light, color, textures, movement and environment.

6 Some contemporary art concepts are embodied in the installations produced within the research, such as environmental questioning as part of the design repertoire, adequateness to contemporary culture and full sensorial interaction between oeuvre and observers, besides balanced and harmonic broadening of sensitive knowledge.

7 Installation art has always been for me that kind of vivid experience; part physical poetry, part intellectual conundrum, something that transforms empty space into a vigorous place of encounter and thought. Suvan Geer

33 An artwork will only fulfill its plain formal meaning admitting human presence and its spatial interaction. Membrane tents congregate people, protecting them. The inverse happens as well, when users enrich and complement the structure, becoming part of it. There is a common field between architecture and sculpture, from where ambiguous manifestations emerge.
