This thesis presents a study on the way of thinking and way of design of the Czech born architect Antonin Raymond (1888-1976). The data used for this study was a series of lectures and articles written by Raymond between 1935 and 1967 and original architectural drawings and photographs. These documents were all collected personally by the author at Raymond’s former studio in Karuizawa and Architectural Office in Tokyo. These documents provide a new source of information on Raymond’s residential work and have been compiled in an electronic database available with the thesis. The database includes architectural drawings, original and contemporary photographs, and general information on a majority of the residential works designed by Raymond between 1920 and 1938. The aim of this thesis is to answer the following question: what is the core quality or concept that identifies a work of architecture as Raymond’s? In order to answer this question, the thesis presents a study on the identity of Antonin Raymond as an architect, which the author has chosen to refer to as “Architectural Identity”. The essential quality of Raymond’s “Architectural Identity” is defined through the study of the architect’s way of thinking, way of design, and the relationship between the two. These three elements are considered by the author as the three components of “Architectural Identity”. For the study of Raymond’s way of design, the thesis focuses on one residential project, which is Raymond’s own summer house, built in Karuizawa in 1933. / Kyoto University (京都大学) / 0048 / 新制・課程博士 / 博士(工学) / 甲第13809号 / 工博第2913号 / 新制||工||1430(附属図書館) / 26025 / UT51-2008-C725 / 京都大学大学院工学研究科建築学専攻 / (主査)教授 髙松 伸, 教授 前田 忠直, 教授 門内 輝行 / 学位規則第4条第1項該当

Theoretical part of the project is comprehensive summary which shows the basic problematics of treehouses and their build-up. It also points to the quality of the build-up by which should be the construction made. The practical part represents a real project of holiday property on specific place set by client. One of the main problem during the creation of the project was to face the treehouse to the perfect valley-view. The benefits of the project are simplicity and possibility to use the treehouse during the winter time. Client had no visual request in advance.

Access to much of the interior was limited, ostensibly, to the family. In republican Florence, however, visitors were a crucial component in the maintenance of a political faction. Consequently, the "private" spaces of the Palazzo Medici were designed and decorated with guests in mind. Visitor accounts reveal that the path and destination of each visitor differed according to his status and significance to the family. The common citizen waited, sometimes for great lengths, in the courtyard, taking in the anti-tyrannical message of the space. The privileged guest, who had more to provide the Medici, was given access to the more private spaces of the residence. Surrounded by art and architecture that demonstrated the faith, education, and wealth of the Medici, he was assured that his support of the family was beneficial to his own pursuits. / Committee in charge: James Harper, Chairperson; Jim Tice, Member; Jeff Hurwit, Member

Esta dissertação parte da indagação sobre o arquétipo residencial arquitetônico da casa-pátio, que se configura como um vazio na habitação, um espaço confinado, protegido e oculto. Este pátio interno, fechado, com suas sutis mas ricas características, conferem a ele uma ambiência única, com uma peculiar atmosfera. Essa indagação originou-se a partir da vivência do autor, como estagiário de arquitetura, em uma casa na cidade de Porto Alegre, construída na década de 1970, de autoria do arquiteto Elyseu Victor Mascarello (1935- 2008), formado em 1958, na Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul, onde foi aluno do primeiro corpo docente da instituição. A investigação consolida a busca do autor pela compreensão sobre o que estava em jogo na clareira da residência, quem eram os atuantes, e se haveria uma forma de mimetizar aquela condição em novos projetos ou outras situações. A identificação do pátio interno como uma clareira na casa e sua aproximação metafórica com o conceito heideggeriano da clareira do ser (Lichtung) conduz a pesquisa à investigação sobre a fenomenologia de acordo com a visão de Heidegger, relacionando a clareira filosófica, existencial, à clareira física, doméstica. Nestas condições, a clareira da casa-pátio Mascarello torna-se o cerne central da pesquisa, na busca pelas nuances presentes que a configuram, que a potencializam. A clareira de Heidegger é definida e aproximada à casa sagrada, existencial. No âmbito doméstico, outros exemplos de tipologias de clareiras em casas-pátio são desvelados, analisando-se suas potencialidades de clareiras. Este trabalho busca, portanto, trazer uma nova luz à casa com pátio interno, sob a égide da ancestralidade conceitual da casa, analisando o microcosmos criado, a presença da natureza e do cosmos em diferentes tipologias de casas-pátio. / This dissertation arose out of the inquiry concerning to the architectonic residential archetype of the courtyard house, which is configured by an empty area in the habitation, a confined, protected and occult space. This enclosed inner courtyard, with its subtle yet rich features, gives it a unique ambience with a peculiar atmosphere. This investigation was originated from the author’s experience, as an architectural intern, in a house located in Porto Alegre, built in the 1970s, by the architect Elyseu Victor Mascarello (1935-2008). Mascarello graduated in 1958, from the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul, where he had been a student of the first academic teachers of the institution. The investigation consolidates the author's search for an understanding of what was at stake in the clearing of the residence, what were the active elements, and whether there would be a way of miming that condition into new projects or into other situations. The identification of the internal courtyard as a clearing in the house and its metaphorical relation, with the Heideggerian concept of the clearing of being (Lichtung), leads the research to the investigation of phenomenology, according to Heidegger's view, relating the existential philosophical clearing to the physical domestic clearing. Under these conditions, the clearing of Mascarello’s courtyard house becomes the central focus of the research, aiming to find the existing nuances, which configures and enhances the clearing. Heidegger's clearing is defined and related to the sacred, existential house. Within the domestic scope, other examples of clearing typologies in courtyard houses are unveiled, analyzing their potential for clearings. This work thus aims to shed a new light on the house with internal courtyard, under the aegis of the conceptual ancestry of the house, analyzing the created microcosm, the presence of nature and of the cosmos in different courtyard house typologies.

A base teórica utilizada ancora-se nas reflexões do Círculo de Bakhtin sobre signo, relações dialógicas, polifonia, gênero e cronótopo, além de considerar a contribuição de autores das áreas de administração, marketing e comunicação social. O corpus desta pesquisa constitui-se das 104 edições do house-organ “Garrafinha”, de uma franquia da Coca-Cola, no período de 1996 a 2005. O primeiro capítulo apresenta o gênero house-organ como uma ferramenta capaz de proporcionar a proximidade da empresa com os seus empregados, na tentativa de torná-los aliados na busca pelos seus interesses. Mostra, também, o vínculo do house-organ com o marketing por ser uma ferramenta de relações públicas direcionada ao público interno da empresa. Aborda, ainda, a sua importância estratégica, suas características, seu conteúdo e sua linguagem. Com base nas reflexões apresentadas, o segundo capítulo identifica e analisa as características do gênero house-organ, tal como são exploradas no Garrafinha. O terceiro capítulo analisa os discursos presentes no corpus à luz dos conceitos do Círculo de Bakhtin, enfocando os signos, as relações dialógicas e a polifonia. As análises destacam o uso discursivo que a empresa faz, principalmente, dos signos garrafinha, craque, jogo, time, casa, família e guerra, bem como das vozes da mídia, de especialistas, do mercado, entre outras, para a persuasão dos empregados. Com o conceito de exotopia são mostradas as estratégias discursivas por meio das quais a empresa se expõe e também revela seus empregados. A análise também identifica, nos discursos, seus valores... / The main aim with this doctor degree paper is to show how the discourse employed in ‘house organs’ of Brazilian companies is interposed by different discursive strategies which are generated by the employer to the employees, looking for reaching organizational targets. The theoretical basis is founded in the Bakhtin Circle on sign, dialogic relations, polyphony, gender and chronotopos, besides other authors in Administration, Marketing and Social Communication. The corpus of this research is based on 104 house-organ editions of ‘Garrafinha’, produced by a franchised Coca-Cola branch between 1996 and 2005. The first chapter introduces the house-organ as a tool capable of get employers and employees closer to each other searching for alliances between them. It also deals with the bonds between Marketing and the house-organ because it is a tool for the public relations directed to the company’s internal group. It touches the strategic importance, its characteristics, content and language. Based on the presented reflections, the second chapter identifies and analyses the characteristic house-organ gender, as explored in ‘Garrafinha’. The third chapter analyses the discourses present in the corpus under the concepts of Bakhtin Circle, focusing the signs, dialogic relations and polyphony. The analyses highlight the discursive use that the company employs, especially of signs like little bottle, excellent player, team, house, family and war, as well as the voices of the media, of experts, of market, among others, to persuade the employees. Using the concept of exotopia to detect the discursive strategies, by which the company gets exposed and it also reveals the employees. The analysis also identifies in discourses, the presumed values which are considered to be already known, common ones between company and employees, underlying to persuasion strategies...
