Verticalism
July 2022

If we accept a spatial image, we will say that the human subject is projected vertically -up and down- establishing relationships with other subjects, forming economic, social and political activities that directly and indirectly affect the environment in which we live. At the top of this vertical action are the leaders whose idea is not to promote the development and growth of the people below them: They prefer discipline and alignment. And above this pyramidal hierarchy, there are forces that cannot be controlled or measured by the human method. Through a series of symbolist images, this concept will be investigated using the vertical architectural form of the D&F Tower as a conceptual and compositional axis.

Dedicated to the special patience of Lucio and Angélica
