This publication is a special issue of the French magazine, specialized in architecture and urbanism, dedicated to the central contribution of Cruz-Diez's art to architecture. Through the lens of various critics and disciplines, it opens a study on the different interventions, artistic intentions, technical solutions, and social goals that his works integrated into architecture and public space address.
It delves into how the artist collaborated with architects and intervention teams to enrich the spatial experience and create environments that go beyond mere functionality, highlighting several large-scale projects by Cruz-Diez.
For his part, Carlos Cruz-Diez experimented on chromatic saturation, which he showed at the Maison de la culture de Grenoble (Chromosaturation, 1968). The goal of this emulation centered on urban space was to reach out to a wider public and involve it by giving it a role in the art, making the viewer active and not just passive. Art sought to broaden its public and leave the museum space in which it had been confined up until then. The city emerged as an ideal experimental environment.
