Abstract

This text deals with the link between objects, such as architectural furniture, and its relationship with the living of the writer Nicanor Parra (1914-2018) in La Reina and the entomologist Luis Peña (1921-1995) in Colina. And like these, somehow, they become relevant in the spatial definition allowing to understand the analytical-artistic thought through the collection and exhibition in the house-museum, reformulating the discourse of the classic museum and redefining the limits of material cultural heritage.

The main objective of this research is to relate and register the objects as a minimum artifact capable of creating architectural space in the respective house-museums of Parra and Peña, establishing a theoretical analysis regarding the fictitious construction of the inhabitant. The inhabitation of the characters redefines the traditional idea of the house, giving it a new type of exhibition, embodied in the tension between the nature of the house and the museum.

Therefore, the hypothesis is raised that the object can personify the domestic space in the house-museum, considering the fundamental variables; order, repetition and economy.
