Abstract
The article explores the operability of the graphic principles of the Concrete Art in its application to a real architecture project. To achieve this goal, the text uses the example of Lanfranco Bombelli’s own house, designed by him in 1961 and located in Cadaqués. The work demonstrates how domestic architecture can draws on notions of graphics. Actually, Concrete Art presents certain similarities in way of dealing with the project of architecture. And that is why the plastic experimentalism of the LBT house is palpable, yet overlaps with a sophisticated reading of the local tradition language.
