The main subject of this study is cubism as a movement deeply involved in the research and in the revolution of space that took place at the beginning of the 20th century, and its interrelations with de development of modern architecture. We will try then to find the forms of the intersection between the artistic and architectural approaches, as a field for new concepts of space. In a context of deep social changes and revolutionary technological innovations appears a new paradigm in the European art: movement, or the dynamic relations. The artistic language is no long based on the composition of the picture, to articulate itself around concepts such as space, time and construction. This new vocabulary underlines the fundamental questions of the new art, it questions the representation of space and its nature: the way we conceive and apprehend it. Cubism was a movement extremely important during this period. Although it wasn't the first to question the rigidity and the limited nature of classic representation, it was the movement that first threw the seeds of the profound change on the pictorial space. Based on a dynamic idea of reality, it decomposed the classic structure, broke the symmetry and introduced or gave a new meaning to the concept of trajectory, building a new reality, a new conception of space, re-inventing it. What will be of great interest to the new ways in architecture. At the same time, and for some years, architecture went by changes of similar nature as picture, rejecting space concepts of the past and uniting efforts to formulate new concepts of "spatialité" that drastically changed the constructed environment. Modern architecture analyzed housing and urbanism on the basis of a new way of conceiving the relation between man and space, which suggests strong ties with the cubist's theory and practice. In fact the two practices do not evolve in a separate way and, in both, changes arose obviously from the same reason: a drastic change on the organization and even on the definition of society. We will try to understand the nature of this change and in which points the answers gave by each one of these arts come together.
