Based on an evaluation of the corporeal gesture and movement, the article aims to reflect on the problem of the creation of space in architecture, underlining its dynamic nature and thus marking a counterpoint to the traditional vision that, from Hegel, associates architecture with the simple mere elaboration of a monolithic or static spatiality. The aim is to establish an analogy between architectural construction, that is, the practice of building walls and spatial divisions, and the creation of dance’s own spatiality. Following some general intuitions of Wittgenstein and Lyotard and, above all, emphasizing the transformative stake of the Deleuzian notion of “line of flight”, an hypothesis is proposed: that it is possible to conceive a deep continuity between the dynamics of the dancing body and the dynamics of the flowing body through spaces.
