Teatro Móvil

Resumen del Ebook

Taking as a starting point a design for a mobile theater made at the Architectural Association of London between 1970 and1971 by Spanish architect Javier Navarro de Zuvillaga (born 1942), this book traces the architectural counterculture of that time and the relations with the alternative performing arts. Architect Javier Navarro de Zuvillaga (1942) graduated in 1968 at Madrid School of Architecture. During the academic year 1970-1971 he travelled from Madrid to London thanks to a grant of the British Council to complete his postgraduate training at the Architectural Association. There he designed a building called Mobile Theater. It was a theatrical device composed of several 8 x 2,5 meters trucks carefully designed, which contained all the building elements needed to shape a space for the performing arts or other collective uses. The assembly time —estimated for four workers— was six and a half hours. This project was internationally showed and published between 1971 and 1975, but was never built. This book intends to release this project, largely ignored by canonical historiography, and to culturally place it in time and space: the agitated city of London in 1971. After the convulsions of May 1968, architectural counterculture rearmed on very different fronts, from the disciplinary rally to the guerilla positions. This architectural design accounts for these events, since it had a temporal development that goes beyond its mere conception as an artifact. The long and frustrated process for construction —1969 to 1976— calls for a particular intra-history, which this books will tell.

Looking for Mies

A man (evidently the architect Mies van der Rohe), stands in a room in a glass-and-steel building. This is the scene that author Ricardo Daza uses for his investigation into the man, the room, the building, and what the architect is looking at. Looking for Mies unfolds like a detective novel, complete with deductions, revelations, and conclusions about the architect's work. This fascinating study of van der Rohe is illustrated with 160 duotones.

Barcelona Art Nouveau

London is famous for Big Ben; Paris for the Eiffel Tower; Rome for the Colosseum. Barcelona, on the other hand, is not identified by one or two famous buildings as these other European cities, but rather by an entire movement of turn-of-the-century architecture known simply as Modernisme. Familiar to Americans as art nouveau, its most famous practitioner was the artist and architect Antoni Gaudi. But the city is filled with superb examples of art nouveau in vivid color in Barcelona Art Nouveau. This book offers a tour of 46 houses, public buildings, and monuments in the art-nouveau style,...

Sombras de ciudad

Entre 1970 y 1990 Nueva York experimentó una profunda transformación urbana que la convirtió en una ciudad global, sede del capital financiero y corporativo multinacional. Los promotores de esta reconversión, que alteraría tanto la conformación social como las funciones de la antigua ciudad industrial, la definieron como un «renacimiento», un discurso de éxito que obviaba, sin embargo, los traumáticos efectos que dicha reestructuración provocó en un amplio sector de población, atrapado en procesos urbanos de abandono y gentrification. «Un día salí a pasear por el barrio y...

La herencia iconográfica de la ciudad

Una indagación sobre el devenir de las ciudades en Europa desde principios de la Edad Media, a través de las transformaciones de su fisonomía formal y conceptual, intentando desvelar las claves y su origen, Las ciudades con pasado, conservan un mensaje cifrado de intenciones y símbolos, que es necesario rescatar de los archivos y evitar se difuminen. En el mapa genético de las viejas ciudades europeas hay muchos patrones comunes, hijos cómo no, de intercambios e influencias, pero hay otros, individuales y únicos, que son precisamente los que subrayan el carácter y la peculiaridad...
