The conjured drawings of Carlo Scarpa: a magic-real inquiry into architectural representation

Dayer, Carolina 27 January 2016 (has links)
This dissertation proposes a theory of architectural representation based on a close examination of Carlo Scarpa's drawing practices at the Brion cemetery located in San Vito d'Altivole, Italy. Informed by the literary practice of magic-realism and Massimo Bontempelli's thoughts on the ontology of the real, it projects Scarpa's drawing practices into larger questions of theory that parallel and intersect Giambattista Vico's philosophy of knowledge as making. Architectural drawing is understood herein as a practice that belongs in the realm of magic. In theorizing on the intersection between magic and architectural representation, this dissertation focuses in the twentieth century, where magic in its original sense had seemingly become an obsolete tradition. Magic-realism acts as the contemporary theoretical framework to investigate the question. Such a framework is relevant because the movement acknowledged the perennial gap between how reality is defined and what reality really is. The movement intensified the notion that reality is not given but must be constructed, and its point of departure in the modern world is not something extraordinary, but that which circumvolves everyday life. Structured in nine chapters that investigate a very specific set of drawings, Scarpa's way of working emerges through a very close reading of minimal events that become the locus for the theory proposed here. Architectural drawing understood as place of ambiguous realities offers a unique approach to architects' imagination. Such realities, however, are not a product of aleatory allegories, but they emerge within an immersive and witty approach to the work and the world. / Ph. D.

Carlo Scarpa: La abstracción como ornamento de lo sublime

Ros Campos, Andrés 29 April 2016 (has links)
[EN] The hypothesis of this research is the use of abstraction as an argument for the exceptional architecture, which throughout it is linked to avant-garde artistic tendencies. It alludes to the essence, in a philosophical attitude next to modern phenomenology, which translates to debug through the application of geometry. The mechanism of abstraction applied to the creative methodology, art, architecture and design, consists of a first decomposition into its basic elements, that will allow to rebuild the set, sometimes transgressing the original order, to obtain a new order compositional parts, in which compositives elements can be read with some autonomy. The result of abstraction is therefore a restructuring that results in clearance, allowing the initial set stripping from unit assembly, that hid its own elements. Mastering this concept allows masters advances in architectural space, from the destruction of the box by Frank Lloyd Wright, the neoplasticists theories of Theo van Doesburg, to the theories of Le Corbusier. In this contribution it seemed fair and appropriate to recognize the work of Carlo Scarpa. His work conveys an emotion that goes beyond beauty, surpassing the magnitude of the scale. His intention was always to escape mediocrity and beat the beauty known. But how it can overcome the beauty known? This research aims to demonstrate the use of the abstract mechanism for this purpose. The objective is therefore to link their project to the elementary mechanisms of abstraction methodology. While fleeing from the figurative, doesn't reject the ornamental, throughout a refined geometry that fits with the precepts of modern architecture, staying in the range of the decorum. The ability of analysis and deduction of the essence of designed, allowed him to intervene in architectural restorations and treat museography theme with exquisite sensitivity. Each solution is studied in detail, in order to enhance the qualities of both, the architectural work, and the piece of art to be exhibited. There is therefore a double meaning in this investigation. On the one hand the concept of the abstract, and the other, the application of it to the work of Carlo Scarpa in order to transcend beauty. / [ES] La hipótesis de esta investigación es la utilización de la abstracción como argumento de lo excepcional en la arquitectura, que a través de él se vincula a tendencias artísticas de vanguardia. Alude a la esencia, en una actitud filosófica próxima a la fenomenología moderna, que se traduce en depuración, mediante la aplicación de la geometría. El mecanismo de la abstracción, aplicado a la metodología creativa, del arte, la arquitectura o el diseño, consiste en una primera descomposición en sus elementos fundamentales, que permitirá recomponer el conjunto, transgrediendo en ocasiones el orden original, para obtener un nuevo orden en el que las partes compositivas se pueden leer con cierta autonomía. El resultado de la abstracción es por tanto una recomposición que se traduce en depuración, que permite despojar, al conjunto inicial, de la unidad que ocultaba sus elementos propios. Dominar este concepto permite a los maestros avances en el espacio arquitectónico, desde la ruptura de la caja de Frank LLoyd Wright, a las teorías neoplasticistas de Theo van Doesburg, pasando por las teorías de Le Corbusier. En esta aportación me parecía ecuánime y apropiado reconocer la labor de Carlo Scarpa. Su obra transmite una emoción que va más allá de la belleza, superando la magnitud de la escala. Su intención fue siempre huir de la mediocridad y superar la belleza conocida, pero ¿Cómo se consigue superar la belleza conocida? Esta investigación pretende demostrar la utilización del mecanismo de lo abstracto para este fin. El objetivo es por tanto, vincular su metodología proyectual a los mecanismos elementales de la abstracción. A la vez que huye de lo figurativo, no rechaza lo ornamental, a través de una depurada geometría que encaja con los preceptos de la arquitectura moderna, manteniéndose en el rango de lo decoroso. La capacidad de análisis y de deducción de la esencia de lo diseñado le permitió intervenir en restauraciones arquitectónica precursoras y tratar el tema museográfico con exquisita sensibilidad. Cada solución se estudia con minuciosidad, con el objetivo de realzar las cualidades, tanto de la obra arquitectónica, como de la pieza de arte a exponer. Existe pues una doble lectura en esta investigación. Por un lado el propio concepto de lo abstracto y por otro, la aplicación del mismo a la obra de Carlo Scarpa con el objetivo de trascender la belleza. / [CAT] La hipòtesi d'aquesta investigació és la utilització de l'abstracció com argument del que és excepcional en l'arquitectura, que a través d'ell es vincula a tendències artístiques d'avantguarda. Al·ludeix a l'essència, en una actitud filosòfica pròxima a la fenomenologia moderna, que es tradueix en acendrament, mitjançant l'aplicació de la geometria. El mecanisme de l'abstracció, aplicat a la metodologia creativa, de l'art, l'arquitectura o el disseny, consisteix en una primera descomposició en els seus elements fonamentals, que permetre recompondre el conjunt, transgredint a vegades l'orde original, per a obtenir un nou orde en el qual les parts compositives es poden llegir en certa autonomia. El resultat de l'abstracció és per tant una recomposició que es tradueix en acendrament, que permet despullar el conjunt inicial de la unitat, que amagava els seus elements propis. Dominar aquest concepte permet als mestres avanços en l'espai arquitectònic, des de la ruptura de la caixa de Frank Lloyd Wright, a les teories Neoplasticistes de Theo van Doesburg, passant per les teories de Le Corbusier. En aquest aportament em semblava equànime i apropiat reconéixer la llavor de Carlo Scarpa. La seua obra transmet una emoció que va més enllà de la bellesa, superant la magnitud de l'escala. La seua intenció va ser sempre fugir de la mediocritat i superar la bellesa coneguda, però ¿Com s'aconsegueix superar la bellesa coneguda? Aquesta investigació pretén demostrar la utilització del mecanisme de l'abstracció per a aquest fi. L'objectiu és per tant, vincular la seua metodologia projectual als mecanismes elementals de l'abstracció. Al mateix temps que fuig del figuratiu, no rebutja l'ornamental, a través d'una depurada geometria que encaixa en els preceptes de l'arquitectura moderna, mantenint-se en el ranc del decorós. La capacitat d'anàlisis i de deducció de l'essència del dissenyat li permet intervenir en restauracions arquitectòniques precursores i tractar el tema Museogràfic amb exquisita sensibilitat. Cadascuna de les solucions s'estudia amb minuciositat, amb l'objectiu de realçar les qualitats, tant de l'obra arquitectònica, com de la peça d'art a exposar.

Per un costat el mateix concepte de l'abstracte i per altre, l'aplicació del mateix a l'obra de Carlo Scarpa amb l'objectiu de transcendir la bellesa. / Ros Campos, A. (2016).

Inspiration to Illumination

Patel, Kartikey N. 22 June 1999 (has links)
This thesis is the result of insights gained from investigation of the work of Carlo Scarpa and applied to the making of a lamp. Scarpa's work has influenced this work in many ways but most fascinating is the way detail is used. The indirect connection between parts and blending of precious and semiprecious metals conveys its own language. Geometry, one of the governing aspects of his design is a primary characteristic in the composition of spaces. The way different metals are used and the ways different spaces are created are fundamental throughout his work. This project is an attempt to make a lamp which is more than an object. Different metals like steel, brass, copper and aluminum are treated in extreme conditions and the range of different materials are part of a process. In the process of making, the design has taken a few turns. An ongoing dialogue with objects and an empirical process of evaluating and analyzing past objects were used to support the next decision. Often details are designed on the spot in the shop. The Lamp has had two reflectors. The design of the reflector is part of an on going process. Although this object may not be as functionally efficient as other lamps, it has provided an opportunity for discourse and acts as a vehicle for further investigation. Many enjoyable moments are the part of its qualified success and it has open up a wide horizon of architectural gesturing. / Master of Architecture
