It argues that architecture was impressed, archived in Matta-Clark not only by his father, but also by his destructive drive and the reinscription of his work in his collection at the Canadian Centre for Architecture in Montreal in 2002. It discusses what it means to archive Matta-Clark’s personal architectural dimension, in light of Jacques Derrida’s Archive Fever, and to collect his work in an architecture-centric institution.  El texto examina la tensa relación entre Gordon Matta-Clark, el artista entrenado como arquitecto, y su padre, el pintor surrealista Roberto Matta. Se argumenta que la arquitectura fue “impresa-grabada” –archivada– en Matta-Clark, no sólo por su padre, sino también por su impulso destructivo y la reinserción de su trabajo en la creación de su colección en el Canadian Centre for Architecture en Montreal en el 2002. El texto discute la idea sobre qué es “archivar” la dimensión personal de la arquitectura para Matta-Clark, y las implicaciones de coleccionar su trabajo en una institución dedicada a la arquitectura.  Facultad de Arquitectura, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México 2020-12-11 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Investigación application/pdf application/xml https://www.revistas.unam.mx/index.php/bitacora/article/view/77619 10.22201/fa.14058901p.2020.45.77619 Bitacora Arquitectura; No. 45 (2020): Architectural Archives; 132-139 Bitácora Arquitectura; Núm. 45 (2020): Archivos de Arquitectura; 132-139 2594-0856 1405-8901 10.22201/fa.14058901p.2020.45 eng spa https://www.revistas.unam.mx/index.php/bitacora/article/view/77619/68792 https://www.revistas.unam.mx/index.php/bitacora/article/view/77619/68931 Derechos de autor 2020 Bitácora Arquitectura
