| Sumario: | The study of mountains and their influence on architecture constitutes a rich and complex field of research, positioned at the intersection of aesthetics, nature, and human construction. For centuries, mountains,with their majestic and impenetrable presence, have inspired humanity. Their forms have served as paradigms for the most sophisticated architectural achievements, while their towering contours evoke a simultaneous sense of power, danger, protection, and spirituality. Their perception has significantly evolved, particularly through the concept of the sublime, which has profoundly transformed their artistic representation and architectural appropriation. Theorized by Edmund Burke and Immanuel Kant, the sublimeblends terror and fascination andhas inspired a renewed admiration for mountains, deeply influencing artists, writers, and architects. This article aims to explore this perceptual evolution through literary and artistic references and to analyze how this transformationhas influenced contemporary architectural practices especially in mountainous environments. |
