Abstract

The following pages will be focused on those symbolical objects understood as a home, as an axis mundi, throughout contemporary arts and architecture. These sacred refuges allow us to embrace the existence inasmuch as they symbolize a new imaginary, a current view of the world from where the individual has the possibility to recover his own identity.

Keywords: Resymbolization, Axis mundi, Contemporary Arts, Contemporary Architecture
