Topology is a branch of mathematics that studies the properties of geometric bodies that remain unchanged by continuous transformations. (In topology the different forms of a figure drawn on an elastic surface that has been either stretched or compressed are equivalent.) This discipline is interested in concepts like proximity and consistency. It compares, classifies and measures, emphasizing attributes such as connectedness, compactness and metrizability, among others. For mathematicians the word topology has two meanings: the informal one is described above, while the formal one refers to a family of determined subsets that fulfill certain rules of union and intersection.
His proposal responds to personal concerns with theachievements and failures of architecture, with utopias anddiscoveries, as well as with perception and mental games, and itis presented from a subjective point of view as a sort of temporaryconclusion to some of the constant concerns of his work, suchas the relationship between space and place, the combination ofmovement and static forms, the infinite reproducibility of modularforms and the functionality of built space.
French psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan described extimacy as thetwist by which the intimate passes to the exterior and vice versa.With this project, Dávila provides a place for this experience,taking this relationship of subsets to form a external surface withintimate folds.
Jose Dávila remarks: “This movement of extimacy forms a workthat structures my driftings, creating a consistency to sustain myfragmentation. It remains to ask if the concept of fragmentationis ‘more important’ than that of connection, without knowing verywell what I’m referring to with ‘important.’ But I leave the questionat that. One would have to know a lot about topology to be able togive an adequate answer.”
