Abstract

The comparative study of unbuilt projects by Jean Nouvel —Media Library of Nîmes and Guggenheim Museum Rio— with the Palace of Fine Arts of Lille (Ibos and Vitart), exposes the similarities between underground buildings that explore disorientation and its dilution through use of glass/water as interface. Physical properties stress categories that we review - envelopes, facades and faces. The tendency to dematerialize makes them more involved with their places. We observe how the use of the basement alters the materialization of neoliberal discourse and we highlight projects that did not come out of paper, highlighting their contributions to the imagination of buildings integrated into cities. This blurs the limits of the visible in the realm of accelerated flows of late capitalism and globalized culture, discussed by Hays and Zaera-Polo. The relationship between the underground building and the city becomes inseparable, placed in a local perspective of deglobalization.
