نبذة مختصرة : A mere material understanding and experience of architecture miss its fundamental relation to human spirituality, something that gives buildings a property that most artifacts lack: transcendence. But, how can the most ethereal, evanescent, and ‘purest’ dimension of our humanity be at all connected to, even dependent on our most heavy, permanent, and measurable expression? However, this matter-spirit dichotomy is based on arguments advanced by ‘classical’ Western philosophy and the Abrahamic religions. From alternative philosophies and theologies, spirituality and embodiment are not understood as different elements but as one indivisible whole, something that today’s findings in neuroscience, psychology, and medicine tend to support. In this paper, we explore the relationship between architectural materiality and spirituality using this alternative viewpoint and refer to Brutalism, undoubtedly the most tectonic of the architectural languages of Modernity, to illuminate the close bond between spirituality and materiality. ; Comprender y vivenciar la arquitectura solamente desde su materialidad es desconocer su estrecha relación con la espiritualidad humana y con ella una trascendencia imposible de alcanzar para la gran mayoría de artefactos. Pero, ¿cómo puede la dimensión más etérea, evanescente y “pura” de nuestra humanidad estar conectada, incluso depender de nuestra expresión más pesada, permanente y mensurable? Sin embargo, esta dicotomía entre materia y espíritu se basa en argumentos de la filosofía occidental “clásica” y las religiones abrahámicas. Desde filosofías y teologías alternativas, lo espiritual y lo corpóreo no son entendidos como diferentes sino como un todo indivisible, algo que la neurociencia, psicología y medicina contemporáneas tienden a apoyar. En este artículo, exploramos la relación entre la materialidad y la espiritualidad arquitectónicas utilizando este punto de vista alternativo y nos referimos al Brutalismo, el lenguaje arquitectónico más tectónico de la modernidad, para evidenciar el ...
