VALORIZAÇÃO E IDENTIFICAÇÃO DE PADRONAGENS DE LADRILHOS HIDRÁULICOS DE 1920 A 1940, PERÍODO ART DÉCO BRASILEIRO, PRESENTES EM PRÉDIOS E CASAS DO CENTRO HISTÓRICO DE SANTA MARIA/RS / RECOVERY AND IDENTIFICATION OF THE PATTERNS OF HYDRAULIC TILES FROM THE 1920-194 BRAZILIAN ART DÉCO PERIOD, PRESENT IN BUILDINGS AND HOUSES OF SANTA MARIA'S HISTORICAL CENTER / RS

Cortes, Marcele Della Flora 28 August 2015 (has links)
Architecture is a form of human expression with its surroundings, making the scenery around a living organism in constant evolution and transformation. It is a record of the time that protects artistic, human and cultural expression of people throughout their stories, that is, from past periods buildings that manage to stay in the current landscape, allowing us to know the society, culture, daily life, relationships, materials and technologies used, both for its construction and for arranging the interiors of our ancestors. An example of this was the hydraulic tile, object of study of this research and an important decorative coating, widely used not only in Brazil but worldwide. The hydraulic tile is a form of artistic expression that persists to the present day, where its manual production is increasingly being lost, since currently very few companies still work with the production of these pieces. Thus, this research aims to conduct a survey on the patterning of the samples of hydraulic tile floor coverings that still persevere in real state's Art Déco, consolidated style in the years of 1920-1940, in the boundary of the researched zone: Zone 2, Historical Center of Santa Maria. For a better foundation and greater understanding of the problem, this study used a qualitative and quantitative methodology. It began with a bibliographic research about the main topics to be analyzed during the investigation, such as the history of the city of Santa Maria, its situation during the period under review, the Art Déco, hydraulic coatings used at the time, as well as the hydraulic tile as cultural heritage worthy of preservation. After the search of theoretical basis, began the data collection in the historic center of the city in order to find the remaining hydraulic tiles of the Art Déco period. Thirty-six patterns were found in thirty-two Déco buildings, however, it was realized that the population living in these areas did not have awareness of the importance of preserving these assets accounted for exposing part of our aesthetic architectural, social and cultural heritage. Thus this research also seeks to collaborate with the awareness, knowledge and preservation of the use of hydraulic tile through a brochure that will elucidate the community about the importance of preserving these assets. / A arquitetura é a forma de expressão do homem com seu entorno, fazendo do cenário ao seu redor um organismo vivo em constante evolução e transformação. É um registro do tempo que resguarda a expressão humana, artística e cultural dos povos no decorrer de suas histórias, ou seja, edificações de períodos passados que conseguem manterem-se na paisagem atual, permitindo-nos conhecer a sociedade, as culturas, o cotidiano, as relações, os materiais e as tecnologias utilizadas, tanto para sua construção, quanto para arranjar os interiores de nossos antepassados. Um exemplo disso foi o ladrilho hidráulico, objeto de estudo desta investigação e um importante revestimento decorativo, muito utilizado não só no Brasil, como no mundo todo. O ladrilho hidráulico é uma forma de manifestação artística que persiste até os dias atuais, onde sua produção manual está cada vez mais se perdendo, já que atualmente poucas empresas ainda trabalham com a produção dessas peças. Assim, a presente pesquisa, tem como finalidade realizar um levantamento sobre a padronagem dos exemplares dos pisos de revestimento em ladrilho hidráulico que ainda perseveram-se nos imóveis Art Déco, estilo consolidado nos anos de 1920 à 1940 da zona limítrofe da pesquisa: a Zona 2, Centro Histórico de Santa Maria. Para melhor fundamentação e maior entendimento do problema, essa pesquisa se utilizou de uma metodologia de cunho qualitativo e quantitativo. Teve início com pesquisas bibliográficas acerca dos principais tópicos a serem analisados no decorrer da investigação como a história da cidade de Santa Maria, sua conjuntura durante o período em análise, o Art Déco, os revestimentos hidráulicos utilizados na época, assim como, o ladrilho hidráulico como patrimônio cultural digno de preservação. Posterior à busca da fundamentação teórica, teve início à coleta de dados no centro histórico da cidade a fim de encontrar ladrilhos hidráulicos remanescentes do momento Art Déco. Trinta e seis padronagens foram encontradas em trinta e duas edificações Déco, porém, percebeu-se que a população residente nessas áreas não possui ciência da importância em se preservar estes bens responsáveis por expor parte do nosso patrimônio arquitetônico estético, social e cultural. Desta forma, esta investigação também busca colaborar com a conscientização, conhecimento e preservação do uso do ladrilho hidráulico, através de um folheto que elucidará a comunidade sobre a importância em se preservar esses bens.

Erik Satie : « sports et divertissements », une approche dramaturgique de l’imagination : interactions musicales et visuelles / Erik Satie « sports et divertissements », a dramaturgical approach of the imagination : musical and visual interactions

Tzioumaki, Aikaterini 09 January 2010 (has links)
La présente thèse est un travail herméneutique sur Sports et Divertissements, édition de luxe qui combine musique et textes par Erik Satie et illustrations en pochoir par Charles Martin. Étant donné son caractère fortement intertextuel, Sports et Divertissements est abordé sous la problématique de l’art total et de ses prolongements dans les livres de peintres et d’artistes, ainsi que dans le contexte artistique de sa création (notamment la mode et son illustration et les livres art déco) pendant et un peu après la Première Guerre Mondiale.Conçu initialement par son éditeur Lucien Vogel, et paru dans une première version en 1914, Sports et Divertissements n’a pris sa forme finale qu’en 1923, dans une révision totale effectuée par Charles Martin. La thèse souhaite démontrer l’efficacité narrative maximale de cette deuxième version, en termes de correspondance entre les éléments littéraires, musicaux et visuels dans la temporalité de l’œuvre ainsi que dans son aspect plastique global à travers un processus ludique et dramaturgique de l’imagination. / The present thesis is an interpretative study of Sports et Divertissements, edition de luxe which combines music and texts by Erik Satie and pochoir illustrations by Charles Martin. Given the highly intertextual character of the work, Sports et Divertissements is seen under the notion of total art, extended to livres de peintres and livres d’artistes as well as in the artistic context of its creation (notably fashion and its illustration and art deco books) that occurred during and after the 1st World War.Initially conceived by its editor Lucien Vogel, and appearing on a first version in 1914, Sports et Divertissements didn’t take its final form until 1923, in a total revision of the illustrations by Charles Martin. The thesis attempts to show the maximal narrative efficacity of this final version, in terms of correspondence among literary, musical and visual elements in the temporality of the work, as well as in its global visual aspect, through a creative and dramaturgical process of the imagination.

nÃo hà / Esta tese consiste no empenho de construir sociologicamente uma anÃlise e interpretaÃÃo da arquitetura como expressÃo simbÃlica do Estado Nacional. Investiga a gÃnese e caracterÃsticas do estilo Art DÃco e seu uso como forma estÃtica adequada à modelagem da fisionomia da mÃquina estatal. O Art DÃco foi predominante em edifÃcios construÃdos para abrigar a administraÃÃo pÃblica, reorganizada e ampliada, entre os anos 1930 e 1945, no Brasil. A pesquisa propÃe, em especial, uma interpretaÃÃo sociolÃgica do imponente edifÃcio da EstaÃÃo FerroviÃria Central do Brasil, erguido na cidade do Rio de Janeiro, entre os anos de 1936 e 1943, concebido consoante aquele estilo. Esse marco arquitetÃnico à analisado como obra referencial do ideÃrio modernizante do Estado centralizador e autoritÃrio que entÃo emergia. / The purpose of this thesis is to sociologically construct an analysis and interpretation of architecture as a symbolic expression of the Nation State. The genesis and characteristics of the Art Deco style are investigated, as well as its use as an aesthetic form suited to modelling the physiognomy of the machine of state. Art Deco predominated in buildings constructed to house the public administration, which had been reorganised and extended between 1930 and 1945 in Brazil. In particular, this research proposes to formulate a sociological interpretation of the imposing edifice of the Central do Brasil Railway Station, constructed in the city of Rio de Janeiro between 1936 and 1943, which was designed in the Art Deco style. This architectural landmark is analyzed as a reference work of the modernizing thinking of the centralizing and authoritarian state that was emerging at the time.

However, over the years, the works begin to suffer deterioration processes, either natural or caused by unsuccessful intervention actions that trigger the onset of problems in the building rendering works, impairing these functions. In the case of historical buildings and monuments, the situation is even worse, because of the lack of knowledge of materials and techniques employed in implementing them at the time of construction. Thus, this thesis aims to study the most suitable methods for the inspection of works on facades and monuments of historical value and, from this research, aims to adapt a simplified methodology for the assessment of pathological manifestations of renderings, especially in art deco construction style built in Goiânia. To achieve this goal, was designed a case study in the Clock Tower, an important art deco monument of the capital of the Brazilian state of Goiás, has been proposed the following methodology: visual inspection for research and mapping of pathological manifestations present at the monument; photographic documentation; essay by percussion, to assess the state of rendering adhesion; application of the infrared thermograph technique; and also testing by pendulum sclerometry to evaluate the surface hardness of the rendering. As a result, it was found that the monument is deteriorated with the presence of various defects in the rendering, especially with a high cracking and dirt stains, and rust stains and disintegration. The south and north views of the tower are those most committed while in the west and east views, especially in the latter, the rendering is still in good condition. / Os revestimentos de fachadas exercem diversas funções nos edifícios e monumentos, entre as quais, funções estéticas, de durabilidade e de valorização econômica. Entretanto, com o passar dos anos, as obras começam a sofrer processos de deterioração, ora naturais ora provocados por ações de intervenção mal sucedidas, que desencadeiam o aparecimento de diversos problemas no revestimento, comprometendo essas funções. No caso dos edifícios e monumentos históricos, a situação é ainda pior, pois se somam a esses fatores, a falta de conhecimento dos materiais e das técnicas empregadas na execução deles na época da construção. Dessa forma, esta dissertação tem como objetivo estudar os métodos mais adequados para a inspeção em fachadas de obras e monumentos de valor histórico e, a partir dessa investigação, adaptar uma metodologia simplificada destinada à avaliação das manifestações patológicas dos revestimentos, especialmente de obras do estilo art déco construídas em Goiânia. Para o alcance desse objetivo, foi idealizado um estudo de caso na Torre do Relógio, importante monumento art déco da capital goiana, tendo sido proposta a seguinte metodologia: inspeção visual, para investigação e mapeamento das manifestações patológicas presentes no monumento; documentação fotográfica; ensaio por percussão, para avaliar o estado de aderência do revestimento; aplicação da técnica da termografia infravermelha e, ainda, o ensaio de esclerometria de pêndulo, para avaliar a dureza superficial do revestimento. Como resultado, constatou-se que o monumento encontra-se deteriorado, com a presença de diversas anomalias no revestimento, principalmente, com elevado índice de fissuração e manchas de sujidade, além de manchas de oxidação e desagregação. As vistas Sul e a Norte são as que estão mais comprometidas enquanto que nas vistas Oeste e Leste, especialmente nesta última, o revestimento ainda continua em bom estado de conservação.

Nationalisme et modernisme à travers l'oeuvre de Mahmud Mukhtar (1891-1934)

Correa-Calleja, Elka Margarita 20 December 2014 (has links)
Cette recherche porte sur la vie et l’œuvre de Mahmûd Mukhtâr, gloire de l’art égyptien, dont le travail prit naissance à une époque où les débats autour de l’identité nationale constituaient un enjeu crucial pour la construction de la nation moderne. En Égypte, l’idée de mettre en place un art figuratif se développa parallèlement au déploiement du pharaonisme - un courant historiciste proche du nationalisme territorial, dans lequel l’idée centrale était que la géographie était le facteur déterminant de l’histoire de l’Égypte. Dans l’historiographie de l’art égyptien, l’on a d’abord considéré l’art figuratif arabe comme en « décalage chronologique ». Si cette idée s’étendit aussi fortement, c’est parce qu’au début du XXe siècle, la modernité trouve l’une de ses expressions les plus importantes dans l’art des « avant-gardes » européennes. Mais, en réalité, au lendemain de la Grande Guerre, il émerge un mouvement de réaction favorable au retour à l’ordre classique. On qualifia dès lors de « modernistes », les œuvres d’art qui se trouvaient à mi-chemin entre ces deux tendances : le retour à l’ordre et les « avant-gardes ». C’est précisément dans ce contexte que se situe l’œuvre de Mukhtâr. De ce fait, l’objectif principal de cette thèse sera de replacer la production artistique de Mukhtâr dans les débats de son temps et de la comparer avec celle de ses collèges européens, pour remettre en question l’idée selon laquelle, l’art égyptien de l’entre-deux-guerres aurait eu un certain « retard » sur l’art européen. / This thesis is about the life and works of Mahmûd Mukhtâr, glory of Egyptian art, at a time where the debates around national identity are crucial for the construction of the modern nation. In Egypt, the idea of creating figurative art was linked to the development of Pharaonism – a historicist trend close to territorial nationalism, in which the central idea was that geography was the determining factor in Egyptian history.Egyptian historiography, starts considering that Arab figurative art was in “delay” compared with that of Europe. The reason for the development of this idea was that at the beginning of the XXth Century, modernity found one of its most important expressions in European “avant-gardes”.But, in reality, after the Great War, a reactionary movement emerged. This trend favored the return to classical order, which was an art closer to Academism and figuration. We qualify as modernists, those works of art that are between these two tendencies: the return to classical order and the “avant-gardes”. It is precisely in this context where we can place Mukhtâr’s work. In this sense, the main objective of this dissertation is to compare Mukhtâr’s artistic production, with that of his European colleagues, in order to reconsider the idea of “delay” of Egyptian art created during the interwar period.

Urbanisme et architecture domestique de l’Entre-deux-guerres à Nancy et dans son agglomération / Urbanism and domestic architecture in Nancy and its suburbs during the inter-wars period

Marseille, Gilles 17 October 2013 (has links)
Cette étude porte sur l’architecture domestique à Nancy et dans les 19 communes de son agglomération de 1919 à 1939. L’ampleur du corpus (6 600 édifices) et du territoire étudiés permet de mettre en exergue les processus urbains et architecturaux qui concourent à la production de la ville. Les relations entre les municipalités, les lotisseurs, les organismes de logement social et les sociétés savantes sont scrutées pour retracer le chemin qui mène du projet à la réalité urbaine. La Reconstruction, les lois encadrant l’urbanisme ou les habitations à bon marché (loi Loucheur) et l’effet de la crise des années 1930 sur la promotion foncière et immobilière sont réinterrogés en profitant des outils techniques (SIG) et théoriques actuels. Les confrontations avec les modèles nationaux (voire internationaux) inscrivent l’étude dans une perspective plus large où l’agglomération nancéienne devient un support de réflexion sur ce moment de l’histoire des villes françaises. Par ailleurs, le recensement exhaustif permet de s’intéresser à l’ensemble de la production bâtie, sans hiérarchie. Cette étude du grand nombre, mêlant banal et exceptionnel, met en exergue les permanences et hybridations. L’héritage éclectique et Art nouveau côtoie la diffusion des nouveaux courants que sont le Mouvement moderne et l’Art déco. L’examen du cas nancéien contribue à la redéfinition de ce dernier style et à une meilleure connaissance de son évolution après 1930. Enfin, cette étude est l’occasion de montrer que l’architecture domestique s’apparente à une transcription matérielle de l’ordre social, qui transparaît dans la qualité des espaces intérieurs et des façades comme support de représentation / This study concerns the domestic architecture in Nancy and the 19 towns of its suburbs from 1919 to 1939. The important size of the corpus (6600 buildings) and of the area studied highlights the urban and architectural processes that contribute to the creation of the city. The relationships between the city council, developers, social housing organizations and intellectual societies are analyzed to trace the path that leads from the plan to the urban reality. The post-war reconstruction project, the law controlling urbanism or social housing (Loucheur Act) and the effects of the 1930’s crisis on the land and housing development are looked back on using modern technical (GIS) and conceptual tools. The comparisons with national (even international) models place the study in a broader perspective where Nancy and its suburbs become a medium for reflection on this moment in the history of French cities. In addition, the exhaustive inventory allows looking at all the building production without hierarchy. This study, combining the mundane and the outstanding, highlights permanencies and hybridisations. The legacy of Eclecticism and Art Nouveau coexists with the diffusion of new trends such as the Modern movement and Art Deco. The examination of Nancy’s case contributes to the new definition of the latter style and of a better understanding of its evolution during the 1930’s. Finally, this study is the opportunity to show that domestic architecture is a physical transcription of a social order, which is reflected in the quality of interior design and building facades as medium of representation
