Novedades del último mes en eBooks de Teoría y crítica de arquitectura

Esta obra es la primera deconstrucción y evaluación rigurosa del Taller de Diseño Avanzado (TDA), el influyente enfoque pedagógico que el arquitecto Enrique Ciriani dirigió en el Perú entre 2009 y 2019. Esta investigacion, basada en una tesis doctoral de metodo mixto, analiza las raices teoricas del enfoque, conectandolo con el Pragmatismo Norteamericano y los principios del Movimiento Moderno.El principal hallazgo del libro, descubierto a traves de un proceso de deconstruccion analitica, es la articulacion del sistema pedagogico de Ciriani en un metodo claro de tres fases (Problematica, Dominio y; Realizacion & Reflexion) y el desglose del ""Lexico"" de herramientas conceptuales que lo sustentan.El estudio se enriquece con el analisis detallado de los proyectos desarrollados a lo largo de una decada y un archivo inedito de entrevistas a colaboradores y estudiantes. A traves de sus testimonios, se reconstruye la ""experiencia de diseño"" del Taller, validando el profundo impacto del enfoque en la formacion de una nueva generacion de arquitectos. Esta obra es un recurso esencial para docentes, investigadores y profesionales interesados en la teoria y la practica de la enseñanza de la arquitectura.

Este libro estudia las posibilidades que tiene la estructura -es decir, vigas, pilares, entramados, soportes y otros elementos- para enriquecer la arquitectura. Lo que se busca aquí es que los arquitectos perciban la estructura como un elemento integral de la arquitectura antes que como una simple tecnica aplicada. Tambien se pretende incitarlos a que diseñen estructuras ellos mismos, en colaboracion desde luego con los calculistas de estructuras, para asi poder hacer realidad sus ideas arquitectonicas.Asimismo, se intenta cambiar esa vision -habitual al menos entre los estudiantes de arquitectura-, de que la estructura es un componente puramente tecnico o, en el peor de los casos, un mal necesario. Para ello se ilustran ejemplos de la estructura como elemento arquitectonico indispensable, un elemento que se involucra y se integra por completo en la creacion arquitectonica, desempeñando importantes papeles que afectan a los sentidos, el corazon y la mente de los usuarios de los edificios. Como proyectistas, debemos preguntarnos como puede añadir la estructura valores esteticos y funcionales a nuestros proyectos, y contribuir asi a enriquecerlos.En primera instancia, este libro esta escrito para estudiantes de arquitectura y arquitectos en ejercicio, pero se pretende tambien suscitar un interes algo mas que pasajero entre los estudiantes de ingenieria y los ingenieros de estructuras que deseen ampliar su experiencia sobre el potencial arquitectonico de este aspecto de su disciplina. Ilustrado con ejemplos de mas de 170 edificios, este estudio pretende servir como manual de referencia y como inspiracion para hacer proyectos, pero tambien como un instrumento que ayude a los arquitectos a reflexionar sobre su propio trabajo; ademas se aporta un amplio repertorio de ejemplos muy diversos en los que la estructura realza ideas, conceptos y cualidades especificamente arquitectonicas.

In the realm of hard sciences, time is seen as moving forward towards the future, providing a framework for navigating the entropy and disorder of systems.Time is seen subjectively in the humanities, as Bergson describes it in terms of recursive cycles exposed via sentient experience. From both angles, humanity is inevitably susceptible to time; either they die from entropic dispersion or depersonalizing repetition.Much like science, myth reminds us that time ultimately devours life. But it also points to a possible escape: though Cronus eats his offspring, except for the youngest one, Zeus, who is saved by a stratagem "devised" by his mother Rhea that is, replacing the baby with a stone. The image of the father suppressing the next generation is then replaced by the myth of the future emerging from the past, when all children are regurgitated by means of another of Zeus tricks. Thus, the myth implies that intellect (the trick) and intellectual works (the stones) can transcend time: if human beings cannot endure their extreme transience, they can endure the lesser transience of their "constructions" in time. Born to last either physically or as collective memory, the very essence of architecture engages in a (titanic) survival endeavour. Yet, in an era anchored to the myths of perennial youth, shall we also allow the right to be forgotten?

Respect for preexisting environmental and cultural conditions would be the founding principle of Favela-Bairro. It is associated with the understanding that favelas do not constitute a problem due to ethnic, religious, or cultural specificities, and that they are not a temporary phenomenon, but rather embedded in the peculiar process of Brazilian development.From an urbanistic standpoint, favelas present a wide morphological variety, as does the formal city. Implanting a single model would not be desirable; on the contrary, the path to follow would be to make explicit an urban structure that emerges from the settlement itself and that can be conceived in agreement with the residents themselves. This structure should seek the broadest possible interconnection with the structures of the surrounding neighborhoods, in order to create an interdependent urban network.

The provenance of artworks is a burning issue in current scholarship and politics. Transpose provenance into architecture and it reveals new and surprising dimensions in the social, material and cultural lives of buildings and architectural artefacts, reframing questions of migration, movement and circulation. Provenance in architecture illuminates the intricate trajectories of fundamentally composite objects from their complex origins to their uncertain destinations. This dictionary examines architectural provenance across 101 key concepts from "Acquisition" to "Will". The entries provide new ways of writing architectural history, highlighting how architecture moves, is destroyed, survives and is transformed.Uwe Fleckner is a professor in art history at the University of Hamburg and conducts provenance research as a director of the Research Centre of "Degenerate Art."Mari Lending is a professor in architectural history and theory at the Oslo School of Architecture and Design and directs the international research project "Provenance Projected: Architecture Past and Future in the Era of Circularity."
