Disassembling domesticity. Habiting heterotopias
(Universidad de Sevilla, 2017) M-Millana, Elena; Tejedor Cabrera, Antonio; Molina Huelva, Marta
This research explores domesticity outside the home; the domus; the house, via the analysis of the heterotopias, where individuals within non-family groups have lived and developed their lives. In order to do this, we start (dis)assembling this condition by separating the various items of its configuration and analysing the different meanings that are associated with it. These must be re-thought as something foreign, by looking outside the common, the ordinary and the habitual. To carry out this operation certain terms appear such as: intimacy, privacy, public, proximity, habit and family, amongst others, that contain contradictory and even sinister meanings, for example: domination, patriarchy and private property. Next, various Heterotopic constructions are studied and the living conditions are analysed to identify the progressive or regressive transformations of domesticity. Justifiably added to the group of institutions that gave rise to this term, the hospitals and prisons, are the monasteries and convents. They all clearly reveal the radical issues of habitation and demonstrate how transformations of domesticity are directly connected to the relationship between architecture and power. This dissertation uses the case of the medieval beguines to illustrate this article.
Architectonical limits in the bidimensional work of Eduardo Chillida
(Universidad de Sevilla, 2017) Dovale Carrión, Carmiña; Tejedor Cabrera, Antonio; Molina Huelva, Marta
The proposal is to make an architectural reading of the limits we can find in the two-dimensional work of Eduardo Chillida. The sculptor works the theme of space in his pieces. For this, the use of limits that configure shape is necessary, but that form is not the final goal. In fact, the only interest of the artist is in the relation between forms. His work tends to the essential, and this resulting formal synthesis is of great help for the analysis. The treatment of the boundary in Chillida’s works is very diverse, but, in general, the artist understands and uses it as a threshold between spaces. It is not a barrier, but rather an enabling element.
Architecture & entropy. Time and destruction as a creative subject
(Universidad de Sevilla, 2017) Blázquez Jesús, Pablo; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Proyectos Arquitectónicos; Tejedor Cabrera, Antonio; Molina Huelva, Marta; Universidad de Sevilla. TEP141: Proyecto y Patrimonio
Based on the Second Principle of Thermodynamics, any architectural manifestation has inexorably to do with time and destruction from the very moment it is situated in reality. All creation is temporary and ephemeral, even if it aspires to an eternal permanence. Architecture is the support that gives shape to time, so that any object, building or city is nothing more than a system in continuous transformation. Entropy opens a new territory from which to understand reality through destructive processes in time, however, architectural discipline has associated this concept with negative connotations, rejecting its anabolic and constructive capacity. This article presents the state of a thesis that studies in depth the intense, vibrant and productive relationship between architecture and entropy, through its two fundamental variables: time and destruction. The main objective of the research will be to analyze various works, projects and actions that have used time and destruction as project material, thus justifying how entropy can be integrated into the architectural project.
Hidden space cartography. Architectural experimentation laboratory
(Universidad de Sevilla, 2017) García García, Tomás; Montero Fernández, Francisco Javier; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Proyectos Arquitectónicos; Tejedor Cabrera, Antonio; Molina Huelva, Marta; Universidad de Sevilla. HUM992: Arquitectura y Prospectiva
This doctoral thesis develops a research of interest for the knowledge and interpretation of architectural fact and its practice. A relevant contribution made through the personal experience of a doctorate, based on a set of significant situations and facts, not always visible to the historiography of architecture. The research focuses on the study and drawing of hidden space in architecture, exploring that which belongs to the realm of the invisible, the subterranean, that which floats suspended between attics and roofs. With an untold parallax vision that substantially modifies the point of view with which we usually observe things, spaces, materials, immaterial and design logic of extraordinary possibilities for the architecture of our time are revealed and characterized. It is an essay, therefore, about the creativity in a Project, as a way and consistent response to a world and society which is changing, in need of innovation and new meanings. Personal stories, shared experiences, and references from other worlds and cultures... are presented through the reflections contained in his texts, the drawings speech, x-rays, black masks, and the suggestive photographs taken by the author in his incursions into the dark. Thus, new senses open up to the reality that surrounds us, establishing positions in our cultural panorama, and in architectural thought, particularly, that which seeks a new dimension in its project.
From the immeasurable to the measurable
(Universidad de Sevilla, 2017) Delpino Sapena, Rossana María; Tejedor Cabrera, Antonio; Molina Huelva, Marta
The present work is developed at the initial period of Louis I. Kahn’s independent work, when he projected the Richards Medical Research Laboratories in the University of Pennsylvania 1957-1964. This building represents the moment when he discovers and apply tools and theoretical fundamentals those would be repeated and applied in his next projects and career. For this reason the study of his timeline is divided and established until 1957, to understand how the work is managed and to find the underlying substrates that make up the project. The approach comes from two categories, which are the immeasurable and measurable, from the world of ideas to the tangible, trying to open another space for the unspeakable to appear so we can understand the meaning of this building in Kahn's work and in his time. In this way, the work analyzes and classifies these fields, which are established from the words of Kahn when referring to the creative process in his work. This process is the step of the immeasurable (the idea), to the measurable (the building), To be immeasurable again (transcendence from the building). We approach the work from the union of concepts, constituting two fundamental parts, a part called the 'immeasurable to the measurable', and the other one, the 'measurable to the immeasurable.
The reconstruction of the tradition. Juvenal Baracco and the recomposition of the lost city
(Universidad de Sevilla, 2017) Montestruque Bisso, Octavio; Tejedor Cabrera, Antonio; Molina Huelva, Marta
In Peru the arrival of modern architecture has meant a pause in the consolidation process of a local tradition, which has repercussions on contemporary architecture, as it seeks to build a modernity by the generation of a cultural hybridization process as it develops. Through a critique of modern functionalist architecture, Juvenal Baracco poses a way of reconstructing the tradition by thinking that the universal architectural problem can be resolved within the space provided by Peruvian territory and society. The traditional structures, as well as the typological study of the city, will be the referents for the reconstruction of a local tradition expressed in a contemporary language in the project of the Peruvian Air Force Officers School of 1981. The paper presents, at the end, a new approximation about the consolidation of an own modernity based on the possibilities of assuming an hybrid culture with a non linear review, but in different levels, as nodes connected inside a network.
Dwelling. Invariants in contemporary architecture
(Universidad de Sevilla, 2017) Moreno Sánchez-Cañete, Francisco José; Martínez Díaz, Manuel; Bolívar Montesa, Carmen; Muñoz Carabias, Francisco Felipe; Tejedor Cabrera, Antonio; Molina Huelva, Marta
The house has one of the greatest powers of integration for the thoughts, memories and dreams of men. The house, in the life of an individual, overcome men contingencies and multiplies men advice for continuity. Without it, men would be a dispersed human being. The house is body and soul. It is the first world of the human being ... And always, in his dreams, “the house is a large cradle”, as said by Bachelard. There has been a clear evolution of the concept of housing over time. But after all, the house still remains as a reflection of its inhabitants. When a man makes a house his own, we can conclude, he has found what he can call his “morada”. This study is a reflection on the transformation of the house and what is maintained in the dwelling.
Model management of habitability in protected wild areas (ASP) case study Torres del Paine National Park (PNTP), Patagonia Chile
(Universidad de Sevilla, 2017) Villanueva, Laura; Cuchí i Burgos, Albert; Tejedor Cabrera, Antonio; Molina Huelva, Marta
Tourism in the Chilean Patagonia has grown rapidly since the last decade, promoted to a large extent by state actions and encouraged by private companies with the aim of turning this region into a pole of attraction for tourism, by encouraging the productive development of the country. This tourism is based on the geographic values of this extreme territory and on one of the most fragile natural environments of the country. These foci of interest are mostly located within the Magallanes Region located within the National System of Protected Wild Areas belonging to 58.9% of the total area of the region, with Torres del Paine National Park receiving the largest number of visitors doubling their income over the last decade over an area of 181,229 ha. This "invasion of nature tourism" has so far demanded services that cover the needs of visitors, which have been resolved unsustainably and with little management measures of the impacts that these facilities can cause in the Protected Wild Areas, generating a risk to the conservation, therefore the most important objectives in the creation of a National Park. Today they have been designed to open to medium-term tourism development with the arguments to decentralize the flow of activities in Torres del Paine Park. In general they are places of great extensions where the time to travel them entails the temporary permanence within them which implies to inhabit them by times limited. There are currently no management plans with a Sustainability approach for these wilderness areas of the region that can solve the habitability management within them through a methodology of material flows. On this enormous territory is where it is proposed to approach the subject, studying the metabolic flows that the habitability implies in Torres del Paine as well as the material flows that are given to satisfy it, then formulate a proposal that can be adapted to the rest of the Wild Areas Protected and with the limitations that this implies of its relation with the environment, which is a challenge that is extrapolable to another scale if we consider that for sustainability, the whole planet is but a great natural park in which we must inhabit.
The urban form in Morella as a historic laboratory in the 21th century
(Universidad de Sevilla, 2017) Beltrán Borrás, Júlia; Tejedor Cabrera, Antonio; Molina Huelva, Marta
This paper is a discussion of some patterns and elements of urban form seen in a historical perspective. It is an attempt to define the relationships between architectural design and history in the 21st century, taking into account different voices and points of view: the land, the buildings, the urban spaces, the architects, the inhabitants. Starting with the presentation and discussion of the dialogical model in architectural research, my contribution will show that, taking into account the complexity of relationships that have conditioned the configuration of the city, it is impossible to separate the physical and the social dimensions of architecture and urban planning. The main purpose is to evaluate the urban form of Morella through the dialogical model, analyzing the interactive relationships between design and environment. The historical core of Morella (Spain) is surrounded by old fortification walls, completely conserved until today. In recent years, some new public buildings have been built by Spanish famous architects outside the walled city. This paper focus our attention into the evaluation of contemporary design in relation to historic urban form, studying the configurative knowledge of architecture and planning, that is embedded into building and urban forms in a “generative way”. The purpose is to understand the meaning of the architectural design related to the problems behind, not only to the quality of architecture.
Contemporary architecture and its integration with patrimonial architecture
(Universidad de Sevilla, 2017) Martínez Gómez, Josué Nathan; Tejedor Cabrera, Antonio; Molina Huelva, Marta
One of the most complex interventions in architecture is when buildings with important patrimonial value are actualized. Not only for the technical construction, but for the ethical position of the author and the new aesthetic value that will acquire that work as part of a historic city. Achieving a balance so that contemporary architecture is not submitted to patrimonial, nor patrimonial is diminished in front of a contemporary intervention requires a balanced dialogue between both interventions that contribute in their opposite times. The hypothesis considers that every building whose author has a theoretical support based on Ethics, Memory and Phenomenology, is consistent with its historical context and ensures its presence in the culture of the place. Also Time, Abstraction, Vanguards, Subject, Aesthetics, Criticism, Synthesis and Historical Multiplicity are some of the topics to study their relationship. And constitute a framework of knowledge to formulate a theory that addresses the integration of contemporary intervention in a historical context. There are two objectives proposed in this study: on the one hand, it is important to have a theoretical basis in heritage interventions and, on the other hand, to propose a methodology that can be repeated in other case studies to make an architectural critique and to evaluate if the intervention is according to the historical context. The case study that will allow me to explain both the ethical stance of an architect and his constructed work is the Kolumba Museum by Peter Zumthor. For that reason, it will deepend as much in its written ideas as in its museum, besides other theoretical reflections.
A critical analysis of the architectural work of Milton Barragán
(2017) Casado López, Guillermo; Tejedor Cabrera, Antonio; Molina Huelva, Marta
This paper presents part of the research done for a doctoral thesis on the work of the Ecuadorian architect and sculptor, Milton Barragán. Belonging to the modernist movement and affiliated with ‘brutalism’ undertook most of his work in Quito, Ecuador. Milton Barragán has been the main source of research information, providing material archiving and video format interviews about his biography, his influences and his work. The results presented correspond to early phases of the research study, and comprise a characterisation of his architecture and a preview of the critical analysis of his work based on studies of the influences on and the creative processes of four of his most important works: the Artigas Building (1974), the ‘Templo de La Dolorosa’ (1979), the CIESPAL Building (1980) and the ‘Templo de la Patria’ (1980). His works emerge from the site, with dialogues and connections between the architecture and the environment being established. Milton Barragán Interprets ‘brutalism’ through a prominent use of reinforced concrete and taking on structural and construction challenges. The application of sculptural concepts and the organic use of the exterior spaces make his work an element of great architectonic and heritage importance.
Architect, work and method
(Universidad de Sevilla, 2017) Besa Díaz, Eneko; Tejedor Cabrera, Antonio; Molina Huelva, Marta
This thesis approaches the question of Method in architecture by focusing its analysis on 5 specific contemporary projects, trying to unveil their underlying constitutive motivations. KAZUYO SEJIMA (AND SANAA AND RYUE NISHIZAWA), House in a Plum Grove in Tokyo. FRANK O. GEHRY, Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles. ÁLVARO SIZA, Mimesis Museum in Paju Book City. REM KOOLHAAS, The Dutch Embassy in Berlin. PETER ZUMTHOR, Kolumba Museum in Cologne. Thus, architectonical object and work are considered the susceptible elements that provide the material knowledge that unravels the manner and the methodology by which they were conceived. With this particular approach, this thesis challenges other traditional studies, those that regard the Method in architecture as a regulated or universal systematic procedure. On the contrary, the purpose of this thesis is to clarify the foundations and principles that underlie each specific architectonical object. Meanwhile, the conclusion of the thesis (which is the object of this paper) shows a position that complements the specific character of the previous chapters, since it dares to move forward conclusively towards the definition of the essential principles of the Method in architecture today. The thesis differentiates itself from the scientific-historical researches, having them as a support, it opens a new way for future researches which can be specifically focused on the architectonical project’s methodology.
Domestic Big Data. Cluster tool for the analysis, assessment, diagnosis and design of the contemporary collective housing in dense city centres
(Universidad de Sevilla, 2017) Sallago Zambrano, Borja; Tejedor Cabrera, Antonio; Molina Huelva, Marta
The aim of this research is to create a tool which could be useful for architects as a methodology applied in projects. Said methodology would allow us to analyze the real state of the housing stock that, after the global crisis just passed, Spain suffered. To this purpose, we try to use the latest generation concerning in data field technologies. Therefore, the current achievement is to focus on the fact that BigData do not throw away any clue to solve by themselves any question, but through the use of the specific tool applied, the relation between data will help to move forward any research. We divide the development of this tool into five main categories: Urban Gradient, Energetic Optimization, Habitability, Adaptability, and Social. Through this thesis the main target proposed is to visualize these categories, but highlighting the relation between the parts analyzed — in a topological way — in opposite to the usual methodology more extended through the state of art in the past, where plans, sections and axonometric, were mainly the support to transcribe those graphic analyses into information. Moreover, this is not a matter of form and calligraphy; the target will be to distill the tool in order to connect a máximum of conditions from the project to be analyzed and controlled just using a mínimum of data from the beginning. That implies two spots: in one hand, the capacity of being able to compare the same parameters with two or more different projects; and on the other hand, to offer a boost in future improvements from architectural strategies.
Rem at both sides of the mirror
(Universidad de Sevilla, 2017) Butragueño Díaz-Guerra; Tejedor Cabrera, Antonio; Molina Huelva, Marta
“Rem at both sides of the mirror” is framed on a research an investigation on architectural media, its influence in the architectural production and vice versa. We try to discern if communication and architectural production collide and converge, if the message and the means used acquire the same qualities. The “communication in architecture is understood, not only as the ultimate expression of the architectural act, but also as an agent integrates in all the phases of the creative process, from the very beginning. With this intention, the research focuses on one of the most relevant examples of its development, which is Rem Koolhaas. Through his figure, the thesis addresses the evolution of his communicative dimension and the successive transformations in the field of architectural communication, in parallel to his conceptual evolution along his career. The research makes a comparison between his most relevant publications, starting with “Delirious New York” (Oxford University Press, 1978) and “SMLXL” (Ed. Taschen, 2004). Next, I focus on “Content” (Ed. Taschen, 2004), raising three hypotheses: the existence of a convergence between the visual and conceptual language, the application of a language based on a communicative congestion and the consequent maximum transformation of the codes of communication in architecture. In short, the thesis puts in value the role of communication architecture in the creative process.
Carlo Scarpa: abstraction as an argument of yhe sublime, Research strategy
(Universidad de Sevilla, 2017) Ros Campos, Andrés; Tejedor Cabrera, Antonio; Molina Huelva, Marta
From the visit to the work of Carlo Scarpa fascinates the ability of the architect to maintain the visual balance in spite of the profusion of details in his architecture. The spaces generated, maintain a sense of modernity, tolerating the wealth of solutions and nuances, which seemed to break the aseptic proposals of the architectural vanguard of the first half of the XX century. Contrary to what might seem, by the abundance of elements, in his work underlies a deep respect for modernity and artistic avant-garde, without impediment to reinterpret the modern legacy in an absolutely personal, original and unique way. The research of this thesis was, therefore, focused on the mechanism of abstraction, applied to the creative methodology of architecture and extended to art and design. This intervention in the congress aims to explain the research strategy, its needs and its information and interpretation sources, as well as to claim the importance of collaboration between the archives that safeguard the proposals of the architecture of the XX century and researchers in the academic scope. In this process, it is discovered how the result of the architecture of Scarpa is based on his own methodology for designing, based on a peculiar way of drawing and approaching the creative process.
The saturated world of Charles and Ray Eames: objects, atmosphere and celebrations
(Universidad de Sevilla, 2017) Jódar Pérez, Ana Irene; Tejedor Cabrera, Antonio; Molina Huelva, Marta
Known as Case Study House No. 8, the Eames House is considered one of the most iconic houses in the history of american modern architecture. Charles Eames (19071978) and Bernice Alexandra-Ray Kaiser (1912-1988) started designing the house in 1945 as part of the program promoted by the american magazine Arts & Architecture for the industrialization of homes called Case Study Houses. The final project was an example of modular, easy manufacture and assembly housing (the structure was built in just 90 hours), a unique example of how to solve housing needs in a modern, lucid and realistic way. Nonetheless, there is an excess of colour, sensoriality, aesthetic elaboration and pleasure in the interior of this container, in its content, that has little to do with the aesthetic principles supported by this generation of architects, which arose in the early decades of the 20th century. This research means to bring light to this saturated side of the Eameses, to know the origin and sense of these practices (settled on their connection with the objects, atmosphere and celebrations/parties); so as to, ultimately, recognise the role that American pop culture from the 50s –in the first place- and the festive tradition –as a part of this post-war culture- played in the interior making of their interior personal imaginary.
Nature inside. The figures of the tree and the forest as symbolic references in the contemporary japanese architecture
(Universidad de Sevilla, 2017) López del Río, Alberto; Tejedor Cabrera, Antonio; Molina Huelva, Marta
For traditional Japanese culture, man is understood as a being integrated into an indivisible whole with Nature, which is why, contrary to what happens in Western culture, we should talk about "Naturalism" instead of "Humanism" when dealing with their aesthetic values. This results in the appearance of numerous cultural manifestations that are endorsed by art and architecture, which establish mechanisms that seek to emphasize the relationship between nature and man, so that it can feel integrated in the natural environment. The ideals present in traditional culture, religion, art and architecture have penetrated deep into today's society, causing several generations of Japanese architects to have taken up in many of their works the aesthetic searches and, above all, the referents present in the traditional culture, while they have endowed with a new approach coming from the social and cultural evolution. Given the present circumstances, in which man is fundamentally understood as an urban being, more distant from the natural world than his predecessors, new mechanisms are necessary to guarantee the desired connection with the natural world, which contemporary architecture develops from the perspective of the world in which it sits without losing sight of tradition.
Aesthetics of ruins and ethics of architectural design: New interventions on archeological heritage
(Universidad de Sevilla, 2017) Bagnato, Vicenzo Paolo; Tejedor Cabrera, Antonio; Molina Huelva, Marta
This study aims to analyze the relationships between archaeological ruin and architectural design in their complex implications on contemporary landscape construction. Starting from the definition of “significance” and “value” for the vestiges, it investigates reasons, necessities and intervention criteria in archaeological sites, in relationship with the settlements’ entity and with the society and environment cultural factors. The text lays the foundations to overcome, epistemologically, the idea of design as “transformation”, recuperating a “gadamerian” interpretative approach and demonstrating how the aesthetic value of architecture is linked to its dialogic dimension, and how this, prior to configure as strategy of ethical legitimacy, is a condition that intrinsically and specifically qualifies the cultural landscape and, as such “archaeological”, is inherent the nature of the place.
Empirical method applied in research on residential energy retrofitting
(Universidad de Sevilla, 2017) Escandón Ramírez, Rocío; Blázquez, Teresa; Martínez-Hervás, Mónica; Suárez, Rafael; Sendra, Juan J.; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Construcciones Arquitectónicas I; Tejedor Cabrera, Antonio; Molina Huelva, Marta; Universidad de Sevilla. TEP130: Arquitectura, Patrimonio y Sostenibilidad: Acustica, Iluminación, Óptica y Energía
European policies currently focus on energy efficiency as one of the main targets to address, regarding energy retrofitting of the existent housing stock as a priority to reduce energy demand in the building sector. In Europe, an important part of the housing stock built after the Second World War and before the first energy regulations, presents a deficient energy performance and a great energy saving potential through its retrofitting with passive solutions. Several PhD works share the aim to assess the environmental and energy performance of the social housing stock to foresee the most suitable retrofit strategies to carry. Energy simulation tools become essential to predict the energy behaviour of retrofit buildings. However, energy simulation results are not trustworthy without validating the adjustment of energy models to the reality. According to this, monitoring environmental and energy conditions, together with empirical in situ tests in real case study samples, become basic. The aim of this work is to expose the empirical methodology shared by three on-going PhD thesis about environmental and energy assessment of the social housing stock, concerning climate conditions from the South of Spain. This methodology can be adopted in different scales of approach: from an urban level, to residential ensembles or single dwellings.
Proposal for an indicators system of urban integration of the maritime ports heritage
(Universidad de Sevilla, 2017) Peñas García, Jesús de las; Tejedor Cabrera, Antonio; Molina Huelva, Marta
This article, which is part of a larger research project, aims to contribute to the development of tools to measure the level of urban integration of port heritage in maritime cities. The indicators have been proposed on the basis of the concept of integration defined during the work, whose initial hypothesis underscores the importance of maintaining port activities in balance with more urban uses for the sustainability of the economic development of cities, in line with the notion of urban historical landscape. According to this tool of urban management, the concept of port heritage is redefined in this work and transcends its historical character to be incorporated in the urban heritage, preserving its functionality and its link with the port. During the development of the work, the principle of integration has been narrowed from a strictly urbanistic approach, which has dealt with the aspects of urban geography and territory, spatial relations and mobility and functional relations of the port and city. These three dimensions, which make up the proposed integration model, have been defined through measurable variables, which group the resulting indicators that best express the phenomenon of urban integration of the port in maritime cities.
