Graphic Aalysis of the Project Kina by Teresa Zarnowerowna, 1926
2018
Talking about the cultural and artistic renewal in the postwar Poland one links the issue on the creation of the new generation of architects, artists, sculptors, filmmakers and poets who, coming from easteurope areas enriched by new culture of Cubism, Constructivism, Suprematism became pioneers of an eclectic culture. Among main objectives there was that of broadcasting a multiplicity of groundbreaking ideas giving shape to an artistic attitude toward the image rebuilt acconrding to the new vision, which was totally expressed at the First Exhibition of New Art in Vilnius in 1923. It was a turning point for that avantguard combined with architecture, which played a relevant role, in some ca…
Redrawing as key to the spatial thought of Hana Kučerová Zaveská
2017
The paper analyzes two works of Hana Kučerová Zaveská, Czech architect and designer who has made an important contribution to the Modern Movement, dealing with social housing and social services and placing its emphasis on improving the status of women. His brief but intense activity is developed in Czechoslovakia in the period between the wars and is influenced by the architecture and art movements that occurred in the country during the twenties and thirties. In the footsteps of Marcel Breuer and Mies van der Rohe, she creates furniture where functionality is combined with the elegance and in which we recognize the signature style of the designer, her innovative use of materials and produ…
Apparenti disegni eretici
2022
Il vocabolario Zingarelli, tra i significati del termine ‘eresia’, riporta: “nelle religioni fondate su una dogma- tica universalmente o ufficialmente riconosciuta, dottrina basata su interpretazioni personali in contra- sto con la tradizione” oppure “opinione erronea o contrastante con quelle più comunemente seguite” e, in ultimo “discordia”. È eretico quindi colui che ha scelto, chi sostiene principi contrari ad una ideolo- gia. Uno degli aspetti dell’architettura, quello probabilmente più confortante, è il disegno inteso nel dop- pio significato di intenzione e di rappresentazione di qualcosa di reale o immaginato; gli schizzi, nei loro tratti essenziali, comunicano un pensiero, un’i…
Graphic Interpretation Eileen Gray and Charlotte Perriand
2015
The article deals with the study of two projects of Eileen Gray, an architect who had turned her perception of reality into formal delicacy and Charlotte Perriand, who was able to promote the emphasis of collective and rational living. The article proposes the “graphic re-interpretation” or redrawing of some unbuilt Eileen Gray and Charlotte Perriand’s projects designed in response to the social problems arising in 1936. Their projects of minimum temporary houses are a manifesto through which they investigates other principles of the Modern Movement with the variety of composition of small spaces in relation to the inside well-being at the human scale. The redrawing practice, shown in this …
Helena Niemirowska Syrkus: Graphic analysis of the ‘House of Dr Nelken in Warsaw’
2017
In 1920s and 1930s, Warsaw was becoming one of the hubs of propagation of the new architecture, thanks to the geographical contiguity with the Weimar Republic, which allowed the formation of young minds aimed at a blending of architecture, art and music. In this cultural context, a young Helena Niemirowska Syrkus supported the idea that urban planning and architecture, conceived as art forms, had to target at the definition of a language able of expressing the great revolutionary step achieved in the social, economic and political life of that time, through new configurations. According to Helena Niemirowska, who shared the avant-garde thesis, to become an artist the modern architect had to…
Immagini di una città possibile
2014
As it’s well know, the «architectures in the drawer», drawings that are in the archives and have not taken shape are real cultural gauge of their period. We can often find representations of projects in order to city spaces transformations, old town renovation plans and new urban environments. These projects, if realized, would have modified the city offering a new urban images. The digital model, when it’s between History and Representation, it’s the catalyst of the representation; it is the starting point for the construction of new images of ‘possible’ cities which we want. We have produced new images of Olivella quarter in Palermo, placed on the edge of old town (now has gone poor becau…
Helena Niemirowska Syrkus. Graphic Analysis of the ‘House of Dr. N. in Warsaw’
2015
The paper proposes a graphic re-reading of the “House of Dr. N. in Warsaw” that Helena Niemirowska, female pioneer of Modern Movement, designed in 1932. The building, on two levels, shows in its form a strict geometric layout and a three parted-subdivision plan in which she defines the functional inside layout both at the ground floor and at the first one. Helena combines Suprematism and the Modern Movement, cultural influences that are revealed, as well as in her other projects, by surfaces, colours and volumes of seemingly static treatment.
Ronchamp: dalla stalla di Gut Garkau alla moschea di Sidi Brahim Ronchamp: from Gut Garkau stable to Sidi Brahim mosque
2015
Nel percorrere itinerari storici, apparentemente opposti, da una parte all'interno del Movimento Moderno e dall'altra attraverso lo studio delle moschee di El Atteuf (Algeria), si riscontra un punto di intersezione conosciuto ma inaspettato: la cappella di Ronchamp di Le Corbusier. Ronchamp dimostra come impossibili o quanto mai arbitrarie siano le catalogazioni di un’opera del genere, la quale può essere considerata sia come momento di sintesi del moderno (e non soltanto del Movimento Moderno), sia come trait d’union fra due diversi mondi, l’islamico e il cristiano, integrati spesso soltanto all’interno di un rapporto di forza che ha visto prevalere, a seconda dei tempi, l’uno o l’altro se…
Arqueología del futuro en el barrio El Raval de Barcelona: a propósito de tres inercias del urbanismo tecnocrático y sus efectos indeseables
2021
Este artículo es el resultado de nuestro esfuerzo analítico para comprender cómo se han pensado y practicado intervenciones urbanísticas, extremadamente drásticas, contra el barrio El Raval de Barcelona en períodos formalmente democráticos. Lo que consideramos original de nuestra propuesta analítica es la identificación de una suerte de doxa tecnocrática que habría impregnado el urbanismo –también el barcelonés- desde sus inicios, y que acabará caracterizando el aclamado tanto como discutido “Modelo Barcelona”. La metodología utilizada proviene de la antropología histórica y de la sociología urbana. Nuestro prisma teórico entrecruza perspectivas historiográficas como la biopolítica, socioló…
Eileen Gray: lo spirito plastico di un disegno sfuggente
2013
The article offers a study about the artistic and eccentric personality of Eileen Gray, the Irish designer and architect. An independent, elusive, secretive figure, that with her creative instinct absorbed the French capital becoming soon, between 1910 and 1920, one of the leading exponents of the new revolutionary theories on design and architecture. Her thoughts took shape through drawings and models with which assumed full control of the material used and her notes, strictly in French, supported the rigor and the harmony of her projects, which made it possible to define her one of the pioneers of the Modern Movement.
