- Publication¿Brutalismo? Un nombre polémico y su uso para designar una tendencia pasada en la arquitectura brasileña(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2012-09-10) Verde Zein, Ruth[EN] By the 1960s, Brutalism was a label shared by many architects in many countries. There are good reasons for continuing to employ that label; most obvious among them is the marked similarity of the visual aspect of many so-called Brutalist works, and their roughly common dates of construction, regardless of their location. If we accept this putatively superfi cial defi nition and cease to look for an essential one, then we can, without logical inconsistency, bestow the title Brutalist on a group of correctly dated works sharing similar formal and surface characteristics, even though each one of them and / or their creators might hold different conceptual, ethical, and moral attitudes.
- PublicationContención, integración y permanencia(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2012-09-10) da Cunha Mahfuz, Edson[EN] The three works here reviewed – the Burle Marx Education Center, the SEBRAE headquarters in Brasilia, and the Fasano Hotel Las Piedras – seem to follow quite different paths from those preferred by the international critics. Besides their attitude of rejection of the easiness, they share something that may almost be called modesty, a willingness not to “steal the show”, to be a component of a spatial relations system. They all adopt elementary confi gurations, isolated or combined prisms with rectangular base, as the fundamental component of their forms. They are so linked to the sites where they were built, that it would be practically impossible to explain them without mentioning their respective locations.
- PublicationExterior, interior y contrapuntos(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2012-09-10) Drummond, Álvaro[EN] Trinity, Counterpoint and Unity. Every building tells a different story. If the meaning in the Adriana Varejão Gallery is to contain, seal and provide support to the artist’s work supported by the explicit route, in the Burle Marx Educational Center, a quiter premise, this meaning deviates to the human protection and sheltering and to the topological context interpretation, modifying the site nature.The Sebrae headquarters considers the relationship between the man and space in a different way. The building is articulated around a very clear constructive reasoning where transparency, the central courtyard and total permeability guarantee the presence of the sky of Brasilia on the public free ground floor.
- PublicationResidencial Fidalga 772 en Sao Paulo. Brasil(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2012-09-10) Vinicius Andrade y Marcelo Morettin, Arquitectos[EN] Located in central area of São Paulo, this building was erected in a small plot, embedded in a mixed-use neighborhood, known for its active nightlife.Thepresence of large numbers of bars, restaurants and small culture houses on the surroundings, led us to the idea of designing a building that enhances the urban life. We invested in a design that seeks wide contact with the street. This relationship is manifested by a large entrance which gives the entry an expression of the urban dimension and yet is welcoming.
- PublicationEn hormigón y extramuros(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2012-09-10) Dias Comas, Carlos Eduardo[EN] Three strands of Brazilian architecture are being recognized here: Ferraz and Fanucci collaborated with Lina Bo Bardi, Weinfeld was Aurelio Martinez Flores’ assistant; Cerviño Lopez worked with Paulo Mendes da Rocha. The concrete roughness exacerbated in the Museum refl ects the boards of its formworks. The Gallery prefers the smooth, paneled, almost precious concrete. The Hotel bets on a twofold approach, rough on the outside and soft inside, like a shellfi sh. What we have here is exceptional architecture in more than one meaning and context, among which the actual fi eld of authored contemporary architecture. It rejects the extravagance and heroism, seeking to please its audience. Realistic in its understanding of the professional mission, it accepts to transform the world slowly, operating over tradition into variation and expansion.
- PublicationArquitectura de la reinvención. Entre lo óptico y lo háptico(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2012-09-10) Borges Lemos, Celina[EN] The works of Loducca Advertising Agency in São Paulo, SP, Adriana Varejão Gallery, and Burle Marx Education Center, located in the Inhotim Center for Contemporary Art, Brumadinho, Minas Gerais, are examples of reinforced concrete buildings materializing exuberant designs and landscape insertions. Concentrated in exploring and enhancing concrete and integrating it with other light and fl exible materials, with better and light propagation and thermal isolation perfomance, these architectures announce new aesthetic concerns.
- PublicationPlaza Dedé Caxias o Plaza turca en Juazeiro, Bahia. Brasil(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2012-09-10) Arquitectura, SETE 43[ES] Sin resumen
- PublicationCentro educativo Burle Marx en Brumadinho, Minas Gerais. Brasil(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2012-09-10) Alexandre Brasil y Paula Zasnicoff, Arquitectos[EN] Inhotim is a unique site that offers a broad ensemble of art works, displayed outdoors as well as in both temporary and permanent galleries, all located inside a Botanical Garden of extraordinary beauty. The landscaping was originally inspired by famed architect and landscape artist Roberto Burle Marx (1909-1994), and rare plant species are distributed in an esthetically pleasing manner throughout an estate which also sports fi ve lakes and a preserved forest area.
- PublicationSutiles distanciamientos de la experiencia(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2012-09-10) Anelli, Renato[EN] The three projects here presented offer a strong contrast with the works of their predecessors. A gap between generations, or an exploitation of possibilities opened up by the current situation of the building industry, in which the supply of varied constructive systems allows for different combinations, due to better performance or by formal intentions. With completely different functional programs, these three projects explore and explain the heterogeneity of materials and systems, showing a constructive process that coordinates different jobs and specialties, without necessarily expressing the constructive difficulties.
- PublicationSede de Sebrae. Brasilia, DF. Brasil(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2012-09-10) Grupo SP, Arquitectos[EN] Our approach to the design responds simultaneously to the urbanistic constrictions in Brasilia and the character of the architecture desired for the new national SEBRAE headquarters. What we propose is not a building but an architectural complex with: 1) emphasis on interior spatiality, aimed at integration of both the user and the built and natural landscape; 2) maximum fl exibility for organization of offi ces, and 3) concern with optimal environmental and economic performance.
- PublicationMuseo del pan en Ilópolis, Río Grande do Sul. Brasil(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2012-09-10) Brasil Arquitectura, Arquitectos[EN] The relationship between the new and the existing was of essential concern in elaborating this project, situated in a 4000-inhabitants town in the South of Brazil. There is a time-span of one century between the construction of the old Colognese Mill and the two new buildings, housing the Bread Museum and the Baking Workshop.
- PublicationTres contribuciones a la cultura arquitectónica contemporánea y al patrimonio(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2012-09-10) Junqueira de Camargo, Monica[EN] The three works, Ubatuba House, Bread Museum and Sebrae Headquarters, contribute to the architectural heritage debate, but also to other issues, as refi ned works that reveal a profound constructive knowledge, a critical thinking and a methodological approach. Not only an erudite knowledge, but also a life experience based one: to know how to look around, to give attention and having pleasure in the making of architecture, managing to reconcile the frank willingness to be bold and at the same time, the necessary caution not to make mistakes.
- Publication6 impresiones del Sesc Pompeia de Lina Bo Bardi(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2012-09-10) Torres Barchino, Ana María; Dpto. de Expresión Gráfica Arquitectónica; Escuela Técnica Superior de Arquitectura; Instituto Universitario de Restauración del Patrimonio[EN] The SESC Pompeia by Lina Bo Bardi has largely collected in part those conditions the virtues of the city of São Paulo, from the environmental to the poetic. Clearly, the building is the trace, the fi ngerprint of the person who thought about it and argued; moreover, it also appears to incorporate the signs of all people involved in its creation, it even seems to exude the perception of the stranger on the town. Thus, the building set of the SESC Pompeia is presented as the trace of an immense intellectual work of the first magnitude, and understanding the intellect as the fi rst requirement of poetry, like a huge poetic work.
- PublicationLa caja y el agua(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2012-09-10) Passaro, Andrés[EN] The recurring common denominator of these three works is the idea of the box, and the theme of water is its status differentiation. Cerviño’s box, as an airtight and secure bunker emerges hidden in the landscape, the box of Brazil Architecture exposed to its own phenomenological narrative using the corner as a background curtain and Arquitetos Associados box with a multiple interpretation, presents us with the ambiguity between continuity and rupture with the landscape. The water issue also presents a different thematic. The narcissistic mirror, fl oating and falling, the canal and trench delimiting and marking the territory, or the dyke and lake that integrate while at the same time depart.
- PublicationGalería Adriana Varejao en Brumadinho, Minas Gerais. Brasil(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2012-09-10) Rodrigo Cerviño López, Arquitecto[EN] Inhotim Centro de Arte Contemporânea is located in Brumadinho, a village near Belo Horizonte, the capital of Minas Gerais state. The museum has an unusual architectural concept. Instead of sum up all its installations into a unique building, it is composed of many pavilions spread out in a park of approximately 35 hectares.The Adriana Varejão Gallery was commissioned to shelter two works of the artist acquired by the museum and exhibited at Cartier Foundation: the sculpture Linda do Rosário and the polyptych Celacanto Provoca Maremoto. The project should occupy a hillside with a small slope partially surrounded by the native forest, an area formerly used to store containers.
- PublicationAgencia de publicidad Loducca en Sao Paulo. Brasil(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2012-09-10) Triptyque, Arquitectos[EN] Situated in the Jardins, a neighborhood that is undergoing radical change, in an avenue of intense traffi c, this building, appears as an organic incarnation of the urban and natural “aggressions” suffered by a tropical city. The noise, the insulation and the intense traffi c are the building materials that feed this project. In spite of its important aspect, the building is not blind or deaf, but was born from the energy of its context, and uses it to re-qualify itself, as if in a boomerang effect .
- PublicationComplejo deportivo Deodoro en Río de Janeiro. Brasil(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2012-09-10) BCMF, Arquitectos[EN] The Sports Complex, constructed for the Rio 2007 Pan-American Games, was designed with an awareness that a similar competition venue and program would be applied to a future Olympic Games (Rio 2016). The cluster includes the shooting, equestrian, archery, hockey and modern pentathlon facilities, and also permanent training areas for all major national, regional and international competitions.
- PublicationConducir y explorar: el sabor de sumergirse en el espacio arquitectónico(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2012-09-10) Amorim, Luiz[EN] We want to observe to what extent the structural elements can be seen as leading constituents of space, be it as a driver of the movement, or shaper of the eye, or as organizer of environments for human occupation. Hence, as a mean to structure the interaction among the inhabitants of the architectural space. A demonstration of this properly architectural condition can be performed by analyzing some of the works gathered here, especially the ones with a public nature: the Turkish Square, the Burle Marx Center and the Varejão Gallery.
- PublicationHotel Las piedras Fasano. Punta este, Uruguay(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2012-09-10) Isay Weinfeld, Arquitecto[EN] Las Piedras Fasano is a hospitality complex in Punta del Este, Uruguay. It combines private homes, hotel bungalows and other amenities spreading across vast 480 hectares dominated by a dramatic and dazzling landscape.The scenery inspired the previous owner to erect, with the rocks found in the area, his home and studio. Upon our arrival to the fi rst land reconnaissance visit, we had no doubt those buildings – rustic and of unique workmanship – should be preserved.
- PublicationCentro municipal de Arte y Educación en Pimentas, Sao Paulo. Brasil(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2012-09-10) Mario Biselli y Artur Katchborian, Arquitectos[EN] The Center of Arts and Education of Pimentas is located in Guarulhos, in Pimentas neighborhood, a place with few community equipment directed to education, leisure and sports.The project is confi gured in a line, materialized in a large metallic roof that houses in its longitudinal borders different uses, articulated by a void which culminates in a central area dedicated to the use of sports. The aquatic complex is located outside this axis, in the external area. The plain topography and the linear confi guration site were determinant for the architectural parti.
