Abstract
The direct influence of art on architecture in the 1950s transferred the abstract, mechanistic and rationalist nature of the first wave Avant-gardes and the Modern Movement to a more concrete, complex and contextual one, starting on a journey through informalist existentialism that culminated in the symbolism of Pop Art. Pop Art was responsible for modifying the connections established between form and content and thus the concept of meaning and the symbolic dimension of architecture acquired a different magnitude. The This is Tomorrow exhibition evidenced the limits, modes and different degrees of collaboration between the arts and the change of paradigm. It questioned the synthesis of the arts and the constructivist movement, endorsing the start of the Modern Movement. Pop Art arrived in Europe with the Independent Group (IG) in Great Britain. The movement began to appear in architecture with Alison and Peter Smithson, and together with contributions from Cedric Price, culminated in the Archigram projects.
