A pesquisa adota o tema da Habitação Coletiva Verticalizada, para analisar aspectos da arquitetura de edifícios e os espaços urbanos configurados por eles. Em ambos objetos de estudo faremos o registro e a apresentação de seus estados atuais, e assim, confirmar as iniciativas propostas em seus projetos originais, bem como as transformações ocorridas. Serão estudadas as operações projetuais definidas pelos arquitetos, as soluções construtivas adotadas, e a representatividade do edifício, dentro de um contexto de produção cultural análoga. Sob os aspectos urbanísticos, serão apresentados os processos e os agentes que contribuíram na consolidação de territórios urbanos selecionados. A partir dai fazer uma leitura da relação estabelecida entre estes dois elementos, destacando os diversos diálogos possíveis, que resultem em espaços qualificados para a cidade. / The research adopts the theme of Housing Collective vertical, to examine aspects of the architecture of buildings and urban spaces set up for them. Will be studied for projecting the operations defined by the architects, the construction solutions adopted, and the representativeness of the building, within a context of cultural production similar. Under the urban issues, will present the processes and agents that contributed to the consolidation of selected urban areas. From there take a reading of the relationship established between these two elements, highlighting the various possible dialogues, which results in areas eligible for the city. In both objects of study we will record and present their current status, and thus confirm the initiatives proposed in their original designs, as well as the changes occurred.

Esta dissertação versa sobre a análise do discurso da poesia erótica de Manuel Bandeira, Carlos Drummond de Andrade e João Cabral de Melo Neto. A pesquisa usa a teoria desenvolvida pela escola francesa de análise do discurso mais especificamente a Semântica Global, termo proposto por Dominique Maingueneau para a integração de sete planos básicos de um discurso. A semiótica, o estilo e o conceito de ethos discursivo ajudam a complementar esta pesquisa cujo objetivo é mostrar como o erotismo é visto por cada autor. / Esta dissertação versa sobre a análise do discurso da poesia erótica de Manuel Bandeira, Carlos Drummond de Andrade e João Cabral de Melo Neto.

A ideia central da pesquisa foi o desejo de estudar as soluções projetuais adotadas pelos edifícios comerciais ícones da Arquitetura Modernista, produzidos entre 1930 e 1965 em São Paulo, avaliando o seu desempenho atual do ponto de vista ergonômico e de conforto ambiental. Foram realizadas pesquisas de campo em nove escritórios do Edifício Itália, em ambientes reais, para compreender como as tipologias e os partidos arquitetônicos adotados no projeto do edifício estão afetando o conforto e o desempenho ergonômico nas condições de uso atual desses escritórios. A abordagem ergonômica permitiu uma visão integrada, relacionando, de um lado, as estratégias bioclimáticas e técnicas passivas utilizadas no projeto original do edifício com, de outro lado, os requisitos das novas atividades que estão ocorrendo atualmente nesses espaços, dentro dos novos contextos criados pelo uso de equipamentos diferenciados e pelo emprego de distintos layouts. Como este edifício exibe uma arquitetura voltada para os aspectos bioclimáticos, diferente do modelo comercial convencional que é atualmente empregado na cidade, o estudo traz a oportunidade de reacender a discussão sobre a necessidade de criar uma nova cultura para a arquitetura comercial em São Paulo, melhor adaptada ao clima da cidade e mais sustentável. Trata-se de um ponto de partida para defender um novo padrão arquitetônico para edifícios comerciais, valorizando as técnicas passivas e o conceito de conforto adaptativo. / The central idea of this research was the desire to study the architectonic solutions used in modernist buildings, designed between 1930 and 1965 in São Paulo, assessing their current performance with regard to ergonomic aspects and ambiental comfort. Field research was conducted in the real environment of nine offices of Italia Building aiming to understand how the typologies and the architectonic features can affect the current conditions of use regarding comfort and ergonomic performance. The ergonomic approach provided an integrated perspective, linking, on the one hand, bioclimatic strategies and passive techniques used in the original building project to, on the other hand, the requirements of the new activities taking place at these spaces, taking account of the new contexts created by distinguished equipment and distinct layouts. As this building displays an architecture oriented to bioclimatic aspects, different from the conventional commercial building model, this study brings the opportunity to further discuss the creation of a new culture for commercial building architecture in São Paulo, one that is better adapted to the climate of the city e more sustainable. This is a starting point to uphold a new architectural pattern for commercial buildings, increasing the value of passive techniques and the concept of adaptive model.

No. of bitstreams: 1 Gigliese Aparecida Mendes.pdf: 4723690 bytes, checksum: d639f235c11f238d999f62cf269496c4 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2013-05-22 / The modernist architecture is strongly presented in the urban scenery of Irati-PR. Such movement arrived to this town from 1950`s, what indicates a certain temporal delay, considering that this movement was booming in 1920`s in large urban centers. The base of this research is the dialectic relationship between local and global scales, in order to show the ways that a globalized movement wields local influence, mixing to individuals` life and establishing a ‘glocal’ culture. The focus of this research is the modernist ‘living space’ in which are analyzed twelve single-familiy residences built from 1950’s to 1970’s, that was projected by Eduardo Posfaldo, a local professional that strongly presented lecorbusioan influence. In these are observed modernist architectonic elements, such as pans de verre, platibands and pilotis. The “living machine”, that was largely discussed in the modernist movement, has its space linked to practicality, and the beauty of its frontages is allied to the functionality of the interior rooms. Based on the analysis of these habitations, it is possible to establish that they follow a pattern in the distribution of the intern spaces, privileging the private spaces followed by the social ones. Furthermore, it was found singularities in the modernist architecture of Irati-Pr, such as the use of wood in frontage details, and the presence of integrated “professional spaces” in some cases. / A arquitetura modernista mostra-se bastante presente na paisagem urbana de Irati – PR. Tal movimento chegou à cidade a partir da década de 1950, ou seja, com um certo atraso temporal, tendo em vista que estava em alta na década de 1920 nos grandes centros urbanos. O eixo condutor da pesquisa é a dialética existente entre as escalas global e local, na tentativa de mostrar de que maneira um movimento globalizado exerce influência local, mesclando-se à vida dos indivíduos e estabelecendo uma cultura ‘glocal’. O foco da pesquisa é o ‘espaço de morar’ modernista, onde analisa-se doze residências unifamiliares, construídas entre as décadas de 1950 a 1970, projetadas por Eduardo Posfaldo, profissional local que detinha forte influência corbusierana. Nestas são observados elementos arquitetônicos característicos do modernismo, como os pans de verre, platibandas e pilotis. A ‘máquina de morar’, tão debatida durante o movimento modernista, tem seu espaço ligado à praticidade, de forma que a beleza das fachadas se alia à funcionalidade dos cômodos internos. A partir da análise destas habitações, constata-se que estas seguem um padrão na distribuição dos espaços internos, privilegiando-se os espaços íntimos seguidos dos espaços sociais. Além disso, são encontradas singularidades na arquitetura modernista de Irati - PR, como a utilização da madeira em detalhes nas fachadas e a presença de 'espaço profissional' integrado, em alguns casos.

In Latin America, the post-war period marked a significant epoch of architectural and urbanist experimentation of modernist ideas coming from the other side of the Atlantic. This was the case in Medellín, Colombia and the Functional City approach by CIAM (Congrès Internationaux d'Architecture Modern, in English: International Congresses of Modern Architecture) which conceptualises “the four urban functions,” proposed in the Athens Charter as decisive city planning principles: living, working, recreation and circulation. However, by the late 1950s (with the dissolution of CIAM) and the subsequent decade (1960s) CIAM’s ideas started losing credibility and support. While modernist urbanism was declining, large-scale economic-oriented approaches by international agencies permeated the formulation of development plans. This was the case with the planning approach proposed for Colombia by BIRF (Inter-American Bank for Reconstruction and Development) based on industrial production. These approaches led to (ongoing) transformations in the Colombian urbanist approach, concentrating on socio-economic development. Despite these transformations and in contrary to local urbanists’ impression that CIAM principles have been surpassed decades ago, the dissertation argues that Functional City principles continue to shape Medellin’s urban development today. The research involves a historical study of CIAM, its philosophy (especially regarding urban design – Functional City) its application and ‘’centre of gravity’’ relocation to Latin America, where this approach has been implemented over last 60 years. Consequently, a comparative case study, based on historical primary and secondary sources was undertaken. The Functional City plans of three cities were analysed: Buenos Aires (1938-9), Bogotá (1953), and Brasília (1957). Subsequently, an in-depth case study of Medellín, Colombia, including recent plans was carried out. It was based mainly on primary data sources; local historical archives (original plans and reports), which produced a unique set of evidence that was supported through interviews with key participants and direct researcher’s observations. This study contributes to a better understanding of current urbanisation patterns In Latin America. Furthermore, this study will invite reflection and public debate over questions such as: urbanization for whom/against whom and who decides? Particularly, it provides indicators for a desirable future course of action in Colombian urban planning that would benefit directly local and national authorities. This benefit would be through the provision of new insights and evidence to enable their work supporting resource management and sustainable urban development. Moreover, this will contribute to the design of effective policy and practice for facilitating longer-term development in ways that are positive for the population, which may well have applicability to other cities in Latin America.

This study examines the modernist fiction by three transnational women writers who turned to the ocean in their writing during the first half of the twentieth century to navigate their divided or hyphenated national identities. The Anglo-Irish writer Elizabeth Bowen (1899-1973), the Finland-Swedish author Hagar Olsson (1893-1978), and the New Zealand short story writer of English descent, Katherine Mansfield (1888-1923), use ocean space in their fiction, in the form of both sea imagery and material seascape settings, to unsettle ideologically limiting and culturally anchored categories of identity, gender, class, place and time. The modernist aesthetics and marginal ethics of these white colonial women who existed at a slant to the geographical and cultural center of the British, masculine metropolis pivot on two competing ocean views. First, the sea features in their work as a historically compliant, smooth surface in the service of the establishment, enabling and justifying imperial expansion and colonial settlement, as well as defining and patrolling the uncompromising borders of the land-based modern nation state. Alternately, the ocean comes to disrupt progressive imperial models of history, to inspire fluid and transgressive ideologies, to bear witness to violent histories submerged by official records, and to confound our sense of scale and chronological time through outsized subterranean ecologies that blur the line between land and water, and, as a consequence, throw into question larger fundamental, ontological distinctions, such as that between the ‘human’ and the ‘non-human,’ or ‘more-than-human.’ By bringing postcolonial and ecocritical perspectives to bear on Bowen, Mansfield and Olsson’s literary representations of the ocean, my study contributes to the current expanding reach of modernist studies, ushering into the critical spotlight global regions previously overlooked and misfit writers traditionally dismissed, to locate that which modernity originally defined itself against at the vibrant heart of that construction.

As found in modern art and architecture during the 1950’s and 1960’s, North Americans were conditioned through advertising and media to adopt modernism as a new and better way of life. Modernist styles such as Abstract Expressionism were promoted as leading edge ways to make art that defined American culture. In architecture, modernism infiltrated the development of suburbs and represented a way of life that promoted consumerism, leisure and the nuclear family. Much of the urban and suburban spaces we live in have been influenced by modernism. I am interested in exploring the vocabulary of modernist abstraction through the language of contemporary figuration. I am influenced by late modernist Formalism, colour field painting, gestural mark making and Abstract Expressionism.

Casablanca was long time perceived as laboratory for European architects to experiment with modernist mass housing. Yet, the spatial structure has since then been considerably transformed and appropriated by the inhabitants to respond to the requirements and aspirations of everyday life. The neighbourhood Hay Hassani has experienced substantial change since its construction in 1958-62, initiated by its residents. This paper aims to explore the inhabitants’ underlying reasons and means to adapt their dwellings, and further to provide perspectives into the logics behind these bottom-up, informal transformations. Applying phronetic planning research, an empirical case study has been carried out in Hay Hassani, which provides detailed narratives of the ways in which power and values are at work and with what consequences to whom. The findings indicate that multiple economic, socio-demographic, and cultural aspects are decisive dynamics that trigger the motivation or urge to adapt the original modernist architecture. While identifying the (f)actors of importance and drawing their power relations, the research reveals that because of reduced architectural, economic , institutional-political, and social barriers the inhabitants have been able to transform their built environment significantly. The present study highlights that questions of values, judgement, and power relations are central to understand and deal with the bottom-up transformation processes in the spatial development. / Migration as Inspiration (The Netherlands)
