Mediante un trabajo minucioso de observación de fotografías y elaboración de maquetas se construyen unos decorados de los diferentes ámbitos que conforman el hotel. Kubrick compone una arquitectura que surge de un cuerpo fragmentario, construido y ensamblado que, mediante las posibilidades narrativas que ofrecen la steadicam y el montaje cinematográfico, se transforma en un espacio fílmico aparentemente unitario. El hotel se muestra como una arquitectura verosímil que, sin embargo, está repleta de paradojas, de referencias externas, de subtextos y de imposibilidades espaciales, pues al observar detenidamente la película se encuentran múltiples puntos que subvierten la lógica del espacio. A través de maquetas, fotografías y entrevistas, y su confrontación con la película, se elaboran planos de los diferentes ámbitos del Overlook con el objetivo de abrir un campo de reflexión sobre la intención de su posible ensamblaje. También sobre la relación que existe entre la estructura narrativa de la película, basada en tiempos y espacios que se entrelazan y la manera en que los decorados se unen entre sí, en la pantalla. Mediante un análisis basado en la expresión arquitectónica, el artículo estudia algunas de estas incongruencias espaciales para especular sobre una posible interpretación de la película en la que la arquitectura juega un papel nuclear desde su concepción, no sólo por la importancia de sus decorados en el desarrollo, sino también a un nivel iconográfico y narrativo.AbstractFor the construction of the Overlook Hotel (The Shining, 1980) Stanley Kubrick recreates, at Elstree Studios in London, 1:1 scale replicas of different fragments of hotels, motels, and vacation resorts scattered throughout the United States. Through a meticulous work of observing photographs and making models, sets of the different areas that make up the hotel are built. Kubrick composes an architecture that emerges from a fragmentary, constructed and assembled body which, through the narrative possibilities offered by the Steadicam and montage, is transformed into a seemingly unitary filmic space. The hotel is rendered as a plausible architecture; however, it is full of paradoxes, external references, subtexts, and spatial impossibilities—which emerge with an attentive viewing of the film—through a persistent subversion of the logics of space. Using models, photographs, and interviews, and comparing them with the film, plans of the different areas of the Overlook Hotel are drawn up with the aim of reflecting on the intention of their possible assembly.

Después de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, la vivienda unifamiliar se convirtió en la unidad básica que conformó el paisaje urbano japonés. El rápido crecimiento económico dio lugar a un claro patrón no sólo en el mercado de la vivienda, sino también en la composición familiar. Influenciados por modelos occidentales, los roles de género convencionales se encarnaron en el hombre asalariado (salaryman), relacionado con los centros corporativos, y el ama de casa a tiempo completo (sengyō shufu), asociada al espacio doméstico. Entre todas las piezas habitacionales, la cocina era la más clara en su premisa: el lugar donde la mujer cocina. Esta construcción social estaba codificada en su articulación espacial, ya que solía estar aislada del resto de las habitaciones, posicionada en el fondo de la casa. Las arquitectas y arquitectos japoneses han desafiado estas convenciones mediante diseños de casas radicales, a menudo elogiadas por su pequeñez, blancura y ligereza. Sin embargo, resulta necesario ir más allá de esta ‘fetichización’ para evaluar estas propuestas conforme a las relaciones que plantean. Sus atrevidos diseños no sólo son innovadores en términos formales, sino que van más allá, subvirtiendo las nociones normativas de domesticidad y sugiriendo diversas ‘performatividades’ en la arquitectura. La cocina es a menudo el lugar donde la experimentación es más evidente, materializando ingeniosos conceptos en los modos de habitar. Las cuestiones relativas a la tecnología, la economía y, sobre todo, el género se despliegan en este lugar de trabajo doméstico. Conectada o aislada, visible u oculta, la cocina cristaliza las relaciones de poder a través de acciones arquitectónicas. Desde una perspectiva crítica de género, este artículo aborda las casas japonesas desde el siglo XX hasta la actualidad, mostrando diversas estrategias y exponiendo aquellos principios arquitectónicos y convenciones sociales contra los que se rebelan. Estas casas fomentan la creación de realidades alternativas, trastocando las ideas preconcebidas de lo que es una cocina, una casa o una familia.AbstractTelling a story (monogatari) about the Japanese kitchen inevitably entails reflecting on the most celebrated architectural typology in the country, the detached house. After World War II, it became the basic unit that shaped the Japanese urban landscape. Rapid economic growth resulted in a clear pattern not only in the housing market but also in family composition. Influenced by western models, conventional gender roles were embodied in the breadwinner (salaryman), related to corporate centers, and the full-time homemaker (sengyō shufu), associated with the domestic space. Among all the rooms, the kitchen was the clearest in its premise: the place where the wife cooks.

Una ética para la ciudad (2019) Richard Sennet relataba cómo conversando sobre la ciudad con Jane Jacobs, la activista norteamericana le planteó la sugerente cuestión “¿…entonces tú qué harías?”. Un interrogante referido a plantear cómo coordinar los conceptos diferenciados de ville, entendida como la materialidad física de lo urbano, y el de cité relativo a las percepciones, comportamientos y creencias de la población habitante. La cuestión pretendía indagar sobre las posibilidades de pautar cuál era la relación directa entre la forma material del entorno urbano y los aspectos relativos a lo social -a la poliscomo ciudadanía, justicia, cohesión, o buen habitar. Y también sobre qué planteamientos asumir en términos de espacialidad, materialidad, trazados o infraestructura para modelar una ville capaz de producir una mejor cité. Richard Sennett, en este nuevo texto, pretende dar respuestas a Jane Jacobs gracias a la cooperación de las disciplinas de la arquitectura y el urbanismo expuestas por el investigador Pablo Sendra. Una aportación que complementa aspectos sociológicos y políticos con el pragmatismo de exponer recursos concretos del ámbito del proyecto urbano; tales como infraestructuras abiertas y flexibles capaces de dar una solución a esa deseada sinergia entre villey cité. La sincronía del discurso teórico y la realidad material del proyecto, junto a su concreción en experimentos urbanos analizados, son los dos valores más interesantes y destacables del libro. El aterrizaje al grafismo real y pragmático de un plano, asociado a especificar qué sucede en capas invisibles como el debajo y el encima de la cota cero en la sección del territorio de la ciudad, y cuales son sus flujos, merecen una atenta lectura.

Ethics for the City (2019), Richard Sennett recounted how, when talking about the city with Jane Jacobs, the influential North American journalist, author, theorist, and activist posed the suggestive question: “So what would you do?”. A question aimed at making one think about how to coordinate the different concepts of the ville, understood as the physical materiality of what is urban, and the cité, what we take to be the perceptions, behaviors, and beliefs of urban inhabitants. The question sought to investigate the possibilities of establishing the direct relationship between the material form of the urban environment and the aspects related to the social—to the polis, such as citizenship, justice, cohesion, or living well. Besides this, it also served to consider what approaches to take in terms of spatiality, materiality, layouts, or infrastructure and thus model an urban environment capable of producing a better cité.

Las galerías de arte, con sus publicaciones, comisarios, coleccionistas, críticos y visitantes, resultaron un escenario prolífico para una red informal de agentes e instituciones que, a través de la programación de eventos de diversos formatos, instituyeron una mediación activa en la formación crítica de la ciudadanía. El seminario “Nuevos Comportamientos Artísticos”, celebrado en el Instituto Alemán de Madrid a lo largo de 1974, fue uno de estos acontecimientos. Su galería resultó ser pionera en la muestra de prácticas vinculadas al arte y al diseño, que promovían abiertamente su expansión hacia otros campos del conocimiento amparadas en una interpretación local de lo que se bautizó en España como “arte de concepto”. La acción ‘Encuesta a 24 galerías de Arte de Madrid’ con la que el colectivo multidisciplinar Grup de Treball (GdT) contribuyó en dicho seminario, sirve aquí para ilustrar la activación de esta red de galerías como un ‘contra-proyecto’. Un acto de diseño, apoyándose en la definición que Peter Eisenman hace de la ‘Arquitectura Conceptual’, que trasciende a lo artístico y lo contestatario para ofrecer una alternativa. La exposición de la encuesta y el conjunto de datos que se extraen de ella, acumulan los valores de lenguaje, interfaz, plataforma y medio necesarios para redefinir el marco de relaciones entre sus participantes y conformar en su asociación una comunidad con la capacidad de ser un Museo. Una institución inmaterial, fragmentaria y heterogénea que cuestiona las relaciones convencionales entre el arte, la ciudadanía y el mercado.AbstractIn the mid-1970s in Madrid, it’s possible to identify a series of experiences that went beyond traditional architectural practice, the established domains of academia and the usual dynamics of editorial and institutional activities. The art galleries, with their publications, curators, collectors, critics and visitors, proved to be a prolific setting for an informal network of agents and institutions that, through programming events of various formats, instituted an active mediation in the critical formation of the citizenry. The seminar “Nuevos Comportamientos Artísticos” (“New Artistic Behaviors”), held at the Madrid’s German Institute in 1974, was one of these events. Its gallery proved to be a pioneer in the exhibition of practices linked to art and design, which openly promoted their expansion into other fields of knowledge based on a local interpretation of what was noticed in Spain as “conceptual art”.

XXI y la infraestructura, entendida como hecho físico y concepto abstracto, a través de la noción de espacio infraestructura. Desde la década del 60’, la definición de infraestructura se ha desplazado hacia una versión más conceptual, moviéndose entre distintas disciplinas, desde las ingenierías a las humanidades. En la actualidad, a su condición material como sistema urbano se le superpone su potencialidad como herramienta transdisciplinar capaz de explicar fenómenos económicos, sociológicos y políticos. Su doble condición material-conceptual y su capacidad de operar a múltiples escalas obligan a ampliar una vez más el significado de infraestructura, abriendo paso al concepto de espacio infraestructura. La hipótesis de este artículo es que el espacio infraestructura es un dispositivo práctico y teórico extraído de las lógicas infraestructurales, que se consolida como herramienta de proyecto en la arquitectura contemporánea. Esta arquitectura ya no busca reproducir el modelo infraestructural, sino sus lógicas, lo cual le da libertad para aplicarlas en el proyecto, con independencia de la escala y el programa del que se ocupe. Para demostrarlo se postularán los conceptos de infraestructura y espacio infraestructura, los cuáles serán contrastados con una serie de obras de arquitectura con el fin de exponer las estrategias proyectuales específicas que surgen de esta relación, dando como resultado el espacio infraestructura. AbstractThe purpose of this research is to study the intersection between 21st century architecture and infrastructure, understood as a physical fact as well as an abstract concept, through the notion of Infrastructure Space.

En estos primeros escritos de Soria subyace una visión orgánica de los fenómenos urbanos que integra los procesos de consumo de materia y energía necesarios para el desarrollo de la vida urbana en un concepto a la vez único y complejo de ciudad. El desarrollo de esta metáfora orgánica conlleva para Soria y Mata el reconocimiento del metabolismo urbano como lugar de oportunidad y proyecto para la mejora de las condiciones de vida. El paralelismo entre organismo urbano y cuerpo humano es la clave de esta metodología operativa mediante la que el autor concibe avanzados sistemas de abastecimiento, comunicaciones o recogida de deshechos basados en el potencial de las nuevas tecnologías para organizar y mejorar las ciudades de su tiempo. De esta visión nacerá su propuesta definitiva de crecimiento urbano, la Ciudad Lineal, llamada a establecer una red residencial que conectará los núcleos de las ciudades existentes preservados como centros de negocios y disfrute.

In these first writings, the organic vision of the urban phenomena developed by Soria integrates the processes of consumption of matter and energy necessary for urban life in a concept of the city that is both unique and complex. The development of this organic metaphor entails the recognition of urban metabolism as an opportunity for improving living conditions. The parallelism between the urban organism and the human body is the key of this operational methodology, through which the author conceives advanced supply, communications or waste collection systems based on the potential of new technologies to organize and improve the cities of his time. It was from this vision that his definitive proposal for urban growth was born, the Linear City, which was fated to establish a residential network that connected the core of the existing cities, preserved as business and leisure centers. Soria’s organic thinking is an important historical precedent to the consolidation of an urban ecology. The purpose of studying and advocating it is to reconcile contemporary urban challenges and aspirations with an underrated chapter of the foundations of modern urban theory.","PeriodicalId":30317,"journal":{"name":"Cuadernos de Proyectos Arquitectonicos","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43048204","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The text is a reflection, written a decade later, on the methodological process of one of the most important built projects of their career, the Museum of Contemporary Art of Castilla y León (MUSAC), winner of the Mies van der Rohe award in 2007. The article is structured in three parts: “life as transformation”, “transformation as a project technique”, and “the unexpected as recognition of life”. It runs through a diagram-map3 of six research territories, with discontinuous limits, around three concentric circles (selection, transformation, and project). Each territory starts up paths of exploration, crossing the concentric circles, using selected concepts and transformation tools. The existence of these approaches – the personal, the intellectual, the geometric and material, the historical, the artistic and social, and the natural4 – makes it possible to address the process of project creation from a methodology and variables other than the assumptions of modernity (function, context, technique). The article runs through the threads that weave the narrative, built by the architects to justify the project, transcending the concrete reality of the museum itself, to delve into theoretical and technical reflections on the origin of the architectural form, using critical analysis of the MUSAC’s visible geometry and comparing it with a selection of relatable past, present and future projects, in an effort to reveal a hidden realhypothetical real process5.","PeriodicalId":30317,"journal":{"name":"Cuadernos de Proyectos Arquitectonicos","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41372029","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
