Teatro Móvil

Sinopsis del Libro

Taking as a starting point a design for a mobile theater made at the Architectural Association of London between 1970 and1971 by Spanish architect Javier Navarro de Zuvillaga (born 1942), this book traces the architectural counterculture of that time and the relations with the alternative performing arts. Architect Javier Navarro de Zuvillaga (1942) graduated in 1968 at Madrid School of Architecture. During the academic year 1970-1971 he travelled from Madrid to London thanks to a grant of the British Council to complete his postgraduate training at the Architectural Association. There he designed a building called Mobile Theater. It was a theatrical device composed of several 8 x 2,5 meters trucks carefully designed, which contained all the building elements needed to shape a space for the performing arts or other collective uses. The assembly time —estimated for four workers— was six and a half hours. This project was internationally showed and published between 1971 and 1975, but was never built. This book intends to release this project, largely ignored by canonical historiography, and to culturally place it in time and space: the agitated city of London in 1971. After the convulsions of May 1968, architectural counterculture rearmed on very different fronts, from the disciplinary rally to the guerilla positions. This architectural design accounts for these events, since it had a temporal development that goes beyond its mere conception as an artifact. The long and frustrated process for construction —1969 to 1976— calls for a particular intra-history, which this books will tell.

Paulo Mendes Da Rocha

This book revolves around the drawings and scale models especially selected by architect Paulo Mendes da Rocha, who was conferred the degree of Doctorate Honoris Causa by the Universidad Nacional del Litoral in 2009. The personal selection done by PMdR resulted in a publishing project that included the participation of a group of academics from Brazil, Uruguay and Argentina convened so that, by means of short texts, freely elaborated their perspective on those drawings. The book is, therefore, the result of a collective work whose purpose is to think the architecture from its most common...

Coloquio: Teoría de la arquitectura y teoría del proyecto

Este libro registra las ponencias presentadas en los Coloquios: Teoría de la Arquitectura y Teoría del Proyecto realizados en noviembre de 2001 y 2002. El compilador debe ser fiel a lo que registra como el punto central más conflictivo del debate que los convoca: la polémica sobre el interés, o mejor la necesidad de la existencia del campo específico de la teoría, para la arquitectura. No son pocas las voces autorizadas de ambas posiciones, a favor y en contra de la misma. Menciona los autores y aportes que hace cada uno al debate. Algunos, como Bourdieu, alertan sobre el riesgo de tal ...
