ANUARI d’Arquitectura i Societat és una revista de recerca d’àmbit internacional, on tenen cabuda els estudis i reflexions sobre cóm interaccionen la producció arquitectònica i la societat per la qual es du a terme. Fundada en 2021, és una iniciativa de l’Escola Tècnica Superior d’Arquitectura de la Universitat Politècnica de València, de l’Agrupació Borrianenca de Cultura i de la Càtedra Living Architecture, de la qual Living Ceramics és l’empresa finançadora.
ANUARI d’Arquitectura i Societat versa sobre la influència dels valors, interessos i mitjans d’una determinada societat i el seu temps en l’arquitectura que atén les seues necessitats, així com sobre la influència que aquesta arquitectura pot tenir, al seu torn, en aquests trets definitoris d’una societat en un moment històric donat.

- PublicationAnàlisi de la memòria i la cultura a partir de la façana arquitectònica: el Facadism en el barri de Beyoğlu(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2021-11-30) Karabetca, Aliye Rahsan; Sav, Sedef[EN] İstanbul owns a historical texture rich in architecture, culture, and memory, which are seen in very few metropolises. This city, which has undergone many changes due to social, political, and cultural reasons, has begun to lose its many important values day by day. The biggest reason for this is that the city is culturally vibrant, so that it is desired to be transformed into a source of political income. However, solutions that will strengthen the current situation of İstanbul as a whole and ensure its continuation on solid foundations should be determined and implemented. In this study, Beyoğlu district is considered as the pilot area, one of the rare regions that this wealth has survived to the present day. The first aim of this study is to determine the reasons and purposes for the unnecessary reconstructions of historical buildings located in Beyoğlu, far from their original look, so-called facadism. The second aim of this study is to identify the changes made on the facades in terms of culture and memory and propose suggestions by using photographing, literature review, and analysis with collage methods. In the study, three of the selected four buildings are located on İstiklal street, the other one on Sıraselviler street, two places where the rapid structural/architectural identity transformation in the last 15-20 years can be seen most clearly. As a result of this study, it has been determined that the functions of historical buildings are being degenerated. Their facades are only kept as masks, and the architectural memory is devolved in this way.
- PublicationCabanyal. Any 0. Estratègies de futur(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2023-11-29) Chust Silla, Alejandro[EN] Cabanyal has begun a new stage with the approval of the long-awaited Cabanyal-Canyamelar Special Plan (PEC) on May 24. This plan replaces the previous Special Plan for Reform and Internal Protection of Cabanyal-Canyamelar (PEPRI) with the objective of enacting a new urban planning regime focused on the regeneration and urban improvement of the entire area contained therein. The plan also establishes indicators that serve to better understand the urban structure of Cabanyal. However, the approval of this new plan must be understood as an opportunity to generate a new sustainable urban paradigm as well as a place for architectural experimentation. In the same way that popular modernist architecture was established as a reflection of the ways of life or customs of the inhabitants of Cabanyal, the new constructions that are being carried out in the maritime district must also be able to influence, channel and transmit the values or ways of living of a specific society or of a specific time for future generations. Therefore, the values assumed by this new architecture of the 21st century must be governed by standards of quality, habitability, or environmental sustainability.
- PublicationLa ciutat com a jardí. Elements d' una utopia(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2023-11-29) de Marco, Paolo[EN] From ancient myths to religious metaphors, the history of civilisation tells of numerous gardens admirable for their physical characteristics and underlying symbolic values. These gardens are not mere recreational spaces, but places of human life in all its complexity, thus representing the ideal combination of city and vegetation, man and nature. In the 20th century, some research and projects have attempted to create alternatives to current cities based - in different ways - on the ancient ideal of the garden.With the advent of urbanization of the world population, recent urban policies demonstrate possible strategies to change the destiny of the city by introducing nature into public space. Furthermore, from the study of some contemporary experiences it is possible to recognise traces of an innovative organic approach to design, the possibility of spatial coherence and the architecture-nature interdependence necessary for the construction of an effective ecosystem. A new architectural-urban paradigm, a holistic and interscalar vision that, finally, faces a truly sustainable horizon.
- PublicationEditorial. Contextos Històrics(2021-11-30) Cabrera Fausto, Ivan; Fenollosa Forner, Ernesto Jesús; Franquesa Sánchez, Jordi; Piqueras Blasco, Maria; Escuela Técnica Superior de Arquitectura; Dpto. de Mecánica de los Medios Continuos y Teoría de Estructuras[EN] The adequate preservation of all what is related to our history started resolutely in the 18th century, when movements such as the Age of the Enlightenment and figures such as the German historian and archeologist Johann Joachim Winckelmann consolidated the concept and structured its contents. Since then, knowledge on our past has grown relentlessly, at the same time that the awareness and commitment to preserve it and to take care of the physical matters which have witnessed events or are good evidences of them. Nowadays this adequate preservation has an utmost importance.
- PublicationLudwig Wittgenstein. Itinerari arquitectònic d’un filòsof analític(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2021-11-30) García Nofuentes, Juan Francisco; Molinero Sánchez, Jorge Gabriel; Martínez Ramos e Iruela, Roser[EN] The architectural condition and its connotations in other areas of culture, such as analytical philosophy, is a challenge that can be observed through the figure of the intellectual from 19th century Vienna, Ludwig Wittgenstein. His obsessive dedication, a manifest disposition in any work that occupies his time, would lead to a clear foray into the profession of architect, among other activities. His imprint was exposed in his work and perpetuated through the iconic Stonborough house, built for his sister in Vienna. In it, he will culminate a work that testifies to the mastery of interior spatial proportion, rationality and control over architectural detail to its last consequences. His masterpiece “Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus” (1921), together with “Being and Time” by Martin Heidegger (1927), constitute the two referents of Western thought of the last century. In it, he investigates the exercise carried out by the philosopher, in the context of architecture. He addresses the exact representation of the world through the application of a deductive logic method, with properly ordered propositions with which to structure what for him constitutes the essential event of the architectural “fact.”
- PublicationL’arquitecte Vicent Gascó i l’obra pública a San Felipe/Xàtiva (1780 – 1800)(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2021-11-30) Pascual Montell, Vicente Gabriel[EN] During the last decades of the eighteenth century, the Valencian architect and academic Vicent Gascó Masot (1734 – 1802) designed different works for the city of Xàtiva (Valencia), renamed at the time as Colonia Nueva de San Felipe. His actions give a good account of the needs related to urban planning and public works of a populous urban nucleus at the end of the Old Regime, and of the control exercised on said aspects from the academic and governmental instances. Similarly, these works can be interpreted as significant pieces in Gascó’s architectural production, representative of his way of doing in the dual facet of academic architect (bridges of the Montesa river and Carnssers cliff, portes del Lleó and the Banys) and expert in hydraulic (siphon of the Santa irrigation canal). In the following pages we try to approach the knowledge of these works from these two prisms.
- PublicationL’arquitectura històrica a coll: Els drets aeris i la subdivisió de l’espai(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2021-11-30) Karle, David[EN] The once iconic centerpieces of our urban cores are being forgotten amidst the shadows of new construction, calling the life and death cycle of these landmark buildings into question. If a modernising city wishes to densify their land-poor cities they must look up and consider the air above existing buildings as buildable space. By reconsidering the untouched nostalgia inherent in our traditional notions of preservation, designers must challenge the use of airspace above landmark historic buildings. As culture, society, and our environment continually evolve, how do we preserve history while also bringing it into the future? This question can be answered by making contextually conscious use of valuable air space above historic buildings and is exemplified in a in a design research prototype for the 1904 Grand Manse in the state of Nebraska, USA, that applies architectural research methods while negotiating local zoning code in accordance with the demands of a growing city.
- PublicationPrefaci. Un nou ANUARI(2021-11-30) Cabrera Fausto, Ivan; Escuela Técnica Superior de Arquitectura; Dpto. de Mecánica de los Medios Continuos y Teoría de Estructuras[EN] Readers hold in their hands the first issue of the new research journal “ANUARI d’Arquitectura i Societat”, published jointly by Universitat Politècnica de València Press and the Borriana Cultural Association. Its name announces to the scientific community the publication of just an issue per year. But it is mostly a tribute to another publication which now concludes its journey, being this new ANUARI a proud heir of it.
- PublicationSostenibilitat i territori. Una lectura d acord amb les categories vitruvianes(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2023-11-29) Margagliotta, Luigi Savio[EN] In architecture, the concept of sustainability with regard to the territorial dimension is expressed in its criteria for the organization and management of the territory and refers to the use of land and its resources, the preservation of historical, landscape and natural heritage, the control of the hydrogeological system, as well as the strategies for productive, cultural and economic development. These issues, which regulate the location, construction and transformation of entire settlements, infrastructures, facilities and environmental reserves, can be managed from the act of composition, with a careful approach both in terms of form and in terms of the space and environment that are being modified. By breaking down the syntactic process of four Italian design proposals developed between the 1970s and the beginning of the current century, it is possible to deduce within them the application of the six Vitruvian categories: ordinatio (preparing specifications), dispositio (designing the forms) distributio (allocating the costs), eurythmnia (dynamics), symmetria (commensurability) and decor (functionalism) which, tending towards the optimization of the design effort, are revealed as operational foundations that intrinsically contain the authentic principles of sustainability. Indeed, to compose well is to compose sustainably , on all scales of building, since it includes in its own design questions of an environmental nature related to the economy of resources and space as well as their of use and modification.
