Abstract
This paper aims to contribute to the debate on the shifting roles of art and architecture in contemporary society and the way in which both disciplines play a part in the creation of today’s urban environments. It examines the transitional areas where architecture becomes art and where art becomes an integral part of urban architectural fabric. It discusses the potential of art and architecture collaboration projects, which are stimulated by the continuous transformation of our cities. It explores projects in which both disciplines share viewpoints whilst finding amorphous spaces and ways to collaborate. It discusses works that are believed to define a new form of site specificity – one where human presence is not only required but the body itself becomes the site and the space around which the work is created. It looks into collaborative projects which are inspired by natural ways of creating dialogue, rather than with pre-imposed agendas. Furthermore, the paper aims to provide evidence of even more sophisticated site specificity, where community participation becomes a focus and inseparable part of the work itself.
