Resumen

KIRKBRIDE, Robert. Veils and velocities. Cuad. Cent. Estud. Diseñ. Comun., Ensayos [online]. 2014, n.48, pp.177-190. ISSN 1853-3523.

The bonds of fashion and the constructed environment are deep, tectonically and culturally. In medieval spiritual meditation, the mind was built in the image of a walled city whose buildings were "clothed" by moral understanding; in Renaissance Florence, the philosopher-doctor Marsilio Ficino recommended that planetary colors be worn and applied as architectural ornament to assist in contemplation and judgment. Linked etymologically, our habits (abitudine), clothing (abito), and buildings (abitazione) are the revealing ornaments of our minds, preparing us for everyday life. The array of artifacts and accessories that extend from clothing to shelter furnishes the imagination with ingredients for personal and shared memory and identity. This article will consider several historical and contemporary examples.

Palabras clave : Alberti; Architecture; Body; Decorum; Empathy; Habit; History; Identity; Ornament; Period; Product design; Style; Upstream; Vitruvius.
