This study engaged with the architecture of the ‘Initial Structure’ at Newman College, 1915-1918, so as to establish this building’s place in the oeuvre of Walter Burley Griffin (1876-1937). Griffin’s architecture at Newman College was unparalleled in Melbourne yet it has never been the subject of a comprehensive study. Further, a measure for Griffin’s creative method and architectural style has not been developed to date although much scholarship has been devoted to the identification of events and works in Griffin’s career. Furthermore a substantive analysis of the architecture of Walter Burley Griffin was lacking that defined and distinguished his work from that of the so-called ‘Prairie School’, and of Frank Lloyd Wright. / Walter Burley Griffin was the conceptual designer of Newman College, while Marion Mahony Griffin (1871-1961), his wife and architectural practice partner was its facilitator. An evaluation of Griffin’s university education, 1895-1899, drew out the compositional concepts of parti, types and architectonics, as his own preferred means of working. Griffin’s mature style in the college design was also indebted to his architectural practice and experiences in Chicago, 1899-1914. An initial assumption in this study was that Griffin was eclectic, as were the American predecessors he admired, Thomas Jefferson and Henry Hobson Richardson, as were Griffin’s contemporaries, Louis Henri Sullivan and Frank Lloyd Wright. Thus the sources of Griffin’s architectural ideas, elements, and methods of composition, have been traced in this study. / American campus designs were surveyed and comparisons made with the other three late 19th Century college buildings at the University of Melbourne to distinguish Griffins’ innovations in college planning, construction and form at Newman College. The description of the commissioning, committee-work and program for the Newman College building revealed the social and political idealism that linked Griffin with his supporters among Melbourne’s Roman Catholic community. Griffin worked with ‘structure’ in mind, both compositional and constructional. Particular partis, typologies and architectonic patterns have been 3 identified in the compositional structures of the college building design. Similarly Griffin’s adaptations of new and exploratory building techniques were investigated. / Griffin’s sources were not only American. He derived inspiration equally from seminal European and Asian precedents, which provided instances of an underlying compositional structure. In the architecture of Newman College the composite plans, mixed construction techniques and materials, and richly layered forms allowed Griffin scope to express ideal college purposes, spiritual universality, and organic wholeness.

Esta investigación hace suyo un ajuste metodológico respecto al modo de pensar la relación entre las imágenes artísticas y la historia. Tal ajuste descansa en el reconocimiento de que las primeras no se hallan meramente inscritas, como un punto sobre una línea, en las estructuras diacrónicas de la segunda. Supone también que, en su doble condición sincrónica y anacrónica, la imagen cala, fisura y reordena la experiencia del tiempo histórico en que ella misma se presenta. Dos obras de autores chilenos —Enrique Lihn y Eugenio Dittborn― son abordadas en este estudio como instancias que permiten pensar ese ajuste, porque propiamente lo producen como efecto de sus operaciones estéticas y críticas. Se trazan aquí los antecedentes teóricos para formular esta hipótesis y se los dispone analíticamente en vías de leer las poéticas de la imagen en ambas obras como soportes de un desmontaje histórico ―acontecido en una experiencia temporal signada por la interrupción, la discontinuidad y el retorno― en cuya entrelínea podría descubrirse también un contradiscurso de la historiografía del arte chileno

Thomas Merton (1915-1968), the American Cistercian, wrote numerous books and essays on spirituality, including both Christian and Eastern forms of mysticism, and such social concerns as racial injustice, the war in Vietnam, and the depersonalizing tendencies within a technical society. From his position of contemplative withdrawal he spoke a prophetic word to the world in which he lived, recognizing that his monastic, and eventually his eremitic life, was not so much a withdrawal from the world as it was his own place in the world. He provides, therefore, a living example of the close interrelationship between contemplation and action. Morton understood withdrawal to be movement away from the superficial and false attitudes one has of the world and of one's own self, Withdrawal is, for him, a movement away from the sharp distinction between subject and object, and a movement toward the understanding that God is the ground of all being and that all contingent beings, rooted in Him, are united. Withdrawal is the necessary prelude to effective social action, since withdrawal opens one to the truth of man's solidarity in God, who is ultimate Reality, and therefore provides the true basis for moral action. For Morton, moral theology is dependent upon ascetical theology. The closer one is to God, the closer one is to all of God's creation. Paul Tillich, too, saw the necessity for withdrawal, for an immediate apprehension of God, and for social action. Hence, it is not surprising that Tillich and Merton have numerous points of affinity. In fact, Tillich's theology can be interpreted as a theoretical statement of Merton's experience. Tillich's use of ontological language, especially his distinction between essence and existence, provides a methodical approach to the theology behind Merton's mysticism and social ethic. The purpose for withdrawal is to allow essence to become known under the conditions of existence, and one essence is know - how ever fragmentarily - it enriches existence for all, not only for the one who has experienced essentialization. Hence, even the mysticism of a hermit has an indirect effect on the entire world, and, in the case of Marton himself, a direct and explicit effect. Tillich, therefore, helps to explain Merton, and Merton's life-long attempt to balance the poles of individuality and participation provides an experiential example of Tillich's system.

O objetivo deste estudo é demonstrar a unidade formal presente nas obras da chamada terceira fase do arquiteto paulista João Baptista Vilanova Artigas. A descrição da unidade formal proposta é alternativa às abordagens desenvolvidas até o momento, que vinculam a originalidade da linguagem arquitetônica de Artigas ao contexto histórico e a precedentes arquitetônicos. Utilizando um conjunto de projetos, caracterizados a priori pela expressividade estrutural e pelo desenho diferenciado dos pilares, a descrição da arquitetura de Artigas é feita a partir de suas razões compositivas e geométricas. O modelo descritivo da Gramática de Formas (STINY; GIPS; 1972) é empregado para especificação de seus princípios generativos – conjunto de regras, vocabulário e relações geométricas. O estudo identificou em figuras como triângulos e retângulos as principais formas do vocabulário empregadas pelo arquiteto para gerar suas soluções arquitetônicas. As associações obtidas a partir da relação entre estas formas não só descrevem as soluções de Artigas, mas abrem possibilidades para outras soluções de projeto que, muito embora não tivessem sido empregadas pelo autor, poderiam ser identificadas como soluções de mesma linguagem. Esta descoberta abre o caminho para a formulação de uma gramática própria de Artigas e para a utilização de recursos computacionais na geração de alternativas de projeto que incluam a linguagem de Artigas (regras, vocabulário e relações geométricas) como fator de identidade.

The aim of this study is to provide an artistic view of the song cykle by Bohuslav Martinu´s Three Chansons for the Red Seven" and the Red Seven " and the song Vítězslava Kaprálová´s "Goodbye and farewell". In my work, I summarise the analytical opinion with musical and practical attitude and provide an artistic view to these vocel settings, which often remain neglected by both, artists and musicologists. I grasp the work from perspective of the artist, who is trying to capture the most authentic concept of the vocal compositions by studying compositional and personal styles of the authors in order to come to a conclusion of their imaginative interpretation as closely as possible to.

Il s'agit de l'action de cueillir de Ia pluie. La pluie se présente comme matiere plastique de recherche et c'est ce qu'on exprime dans ce travail qui entrelace les Arts Visuels et l'Éducation. De maniere à que l'impression et dilution de l'eau et de supports constituent le mouvement qui montre et parcourt, dans un processus d'expérimentations qui est un apprentissage. Pour ça, cette recherche produit des photographies et s'approche des notions de Ia gravure. Elle essaie des façons de rechercher avec l'art et Ia littérature puisque ces façons ont lieu à travers Ia poétique visuelle et l'écriture. Avec Roland Barthes, elle trouve dans Ia notion de Punctum le dédencheur pour Ia production d'un texte de désir, en s'approchant de l'expression française CoupdeFoudretrouvée dans les contes de Guy de Maupassant. CoupdeFoudrea comme figure l'Amour subit et immédiatpourquelqu'unoAinsi, l'amour, Ia pluie et Ia nuit sont des éléments qui ouvrent le texte et les images produites à des hasards et à des traversements non programmés. Dans cette rencontre entre le processus plastique et l'écriture, cette recherche a, dans Ia brieveté, dans Ia possibilité d'être incitée et aussi dans les marques qui restent et qui se diluent, son apprentissage. Apprentissage sans lequel, autant pour celui qui recherche que pour celui qui lit Ia recherche, un art ne se produitpas. / Trata da ação de colher chuva. A chuva apresenta-se como matéria plástica de pesquisa e é o que se expressa neste trabalho que entrelaça Artes Visuais e Educação. De modo que a impressão e diluição da água e de suportes constituem o movimento que mostra e percorre, num processo de experimentações que é um aprendizado. Para isso, esta pesquisa produz fotografias e se aproxima das noções da gravura. Experimenta maneiras de pesquisar, com a arte e a literatura, sendo que tais maneiras acontecem através da escrita e da poética visual. Com Roland Barthes, encontra na noção de Punctum o disparador para a produção de um texto de desejo. Junto a esta noção, o trabalho aproxima a expressão francesa Coupde Foudreencontrada em contos de Guy de Maupassant. CoupdeFoudretraduz-se literalmente por golpede relâmpagoe tem como figura o Amor àprimeiravista. Assim, o amor, a chuva e a noite são elementos que abrem o texto e as imagens produzidas para acasos e atravessamentos não programados. Neste encontro entre o processo plástico e a escrita, tal pesquisa tem na brevidade, na possibilidade de ser pungido e também nas marcas que permanecem e que se diluem, seu aprendizado. Aprendizado sem o qual, tanto para quem pesquisa ecomo também para quem lê a pesquisa, uma arte não acontece.
