In one of my journeys through Bali, I discovered a captivating scene in a modern hotel courtyard. A towering concrete sculpture, evoking an alien giant, complemented the hotel's low-rise architecture adorned with a sun-shading lattice made from natural wood. This thoughtful integration of art and sustainable materials enhances the visual appeal and conveys a strong message about the semantics and meanings of a place. It prompts a community discussion on how art can influence the perception and functionality of architectural spaces. Do you think integrating art with architecture should always serve a thematic and functional purpose?

Crossing Worlds: Antoni Tàpies, September 11, and the Unspoken Power of Architecture

On September 11, 1923, the artist Antoni Tàpies was born—a figure whose work would be defined by the symbolic power of the cross. Fast forward to September 11, 2001, the world witnessed the tragic destruction of the World Trade Center, designed by architect Minoru Yamasaki. These two moments in history converge in a powerful reflection on the symbolic and emotional weight that art and architecture can carry.

Tàpies’ use of the cross as a symbol of contradiction, suffering, and transcendence resonates deeply with the broader human struggle. His cross symbolizes not only Christian imagery but also universal concepts of life, death, and the intersection of forces beyond human control—themes painfully reflected in the collapse of the Twin Towers.

The destruction of Yamasaki’s architectural icons marked a crossing point in history, reminding us that architecture, much like art, is not merely about form and function. It tells stories of aspiration, failure, vulnerability, and resilience.

Just as Tàpies’ crosses evoke deep psychic and emotional responses, so too can the built environment. In light of the events of 9/11, it’s clear that architecture has the potential to communicate much more than physicality—it can represent the fragility, contradictions, and existential dimensions of human life.

As we reflect on these two moments, Tàpies’ work reminds us that the structures we build are not only symbols of progress but also of our shared human condition.
