Surrealism and Architecture

This thesis is an architectural attempt to recreate Joseph Cornell’s box Through a different approach and technique, creating Cornell/Matta Box.....non-box. As a test/experiment for the current day and the future and as a continuation of a Surreal contribution to the world of art and design. The kind of art that holds the opportunity for such recreation;

“The performing arts have this special quality: that the works they deal with are explicitly left open to such re-creation and thus visibly hold the identity and continuity of the work of art open towards its

future.”45
