Du conflit armé à la barricade symbolique, les modalités du siège sont diverses: en font foi la crise d’Oka, les célébrations du 500e anniversaire des Amériques, les audiences publiques de la Commission Bouchard-Taylor, les manifestations numériques dans les jeux vidéos massivement multijoueurs, la figuration de l’isolement et de la précarité dans la poésie et la littérature (Émile Ollivier, Milton Acorn, Victor Lévy Beaulieu). À partir de différents domaines disciplinaires (des sciences politiques aux études littéraires), les collaborateurs interrogent les tensions à l’œuvre entre marginalité et centralité, concertation et dissension, liberté et contrainte, droit d'asile et exil. À l’encontre des discours convenus sur les flux de la postmodernité et la déterritorialisation, nous mettons ici l’accent sur les usages du pouvoir dans l'espace. De diverses manières, la représentation du conflit et de la concertation, mise en jeu lors du siège, contribue à mieux cerner les modes de relation et de symbolisation qui se construisent au sein d’espaces contraints.

Penelitian ini menyorot permasalahan pemahaman akan unsur estetika dan etika dalam sikap berarsitektur. Penelitian difokuskan pada pertanyaan mengenai penyelidikan terhadap pengetahuan dan nilai yang mendasari sejarah arsitektur Indonesia. Apa dan bagaimana landasan-landasan tersebut menentukan sejarah arsitektur. Tata nilai yang melingkupi karya-karya arsitektur merupakan sasaran penyelidikan penelitian ini.

Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian secara kritis analitis terhadap substansi pengetahuan-pengetahuan serta unsur estetika dan etika yang terurai membentuk sistem penilaian. Penelitian terhadap pengetahuan ini kemudian membentuk butir-butir pemetaan paradigma arsitektur Indonesia. Arsitektur tidak hanya sekedar memiliki unsur estetika, melainkan juga memiliki unsur etika yang seyogyanya merupakan bentuk sikap dan pertanggungjawaban terhadap spirit dasar (ethos) yang melandasi setiap aktivitas berarsitektur. Sikap dan pertanggungjawaban ini penting bagi pemahaman terhadap aktivitas berarsitektur dan bagaimana pilihan-pilihan yang ada didasarkan pada penilaianpenilaian dalam kerangka estetika dan kerangka etika. Unsur etik adalah suatu unsur mengenai bagaimana arsitektur, sebagai sebuah bentuk materialisasi pengetahuan dan budaya manusia, bersikap terhadap berbagai aspek nilai yang menjadi rujukan pengetahuan tersebut. Dengan demikian dapat dikatakan bahwa bentuk adalah cerminan dari pengetahuan.

Penelitian ini merupakan tawaran metodologis untuk mengamati tata nilai - tata nilai tersebut dan secara tidak langsung diharapkan dapat menyumbang pemahaman kritis dalam proses perancangan arsitektur.

Abstract
This research focuses on aesthetics and ethics as underlying values in architecture. This research is dealing with questions on knowledge and values which forms Indonesia’s architectural history and how those values determines the pluralities of
architectural expressions. This critical research analyses the substances of knowledge in aesthetics and ethical means. The research forms a map to understand the values which being used in the designs and theoretical approaches. The values forms the underlying concepts and formal articulations of the architecture. This creates basic ethos for architectural activities. Ethics is materialized as a set of values as the reference for the design. Aesthetics forms the expression created by these values. All these values build a system of architectural understandings and knowledge. This research is offering a methodology to examine sets of values for critically reading and understanding architecture.

In particular it seeks to provide the means whereby there can be a marriage of art and architecture by establishing shared values and understandings. The sketchbook is a useful tool to help counter the dominance of science in architectural education, or at least to ensure that technology is
employed with judgment and aesthetic discrimination.
The aim is to encourage the creation of a more humane
environment by developing visual and artistic sensibilities
through the practice of drawing.

Architettura e politica del’interpretazione: Il caso del Generalštab a Belgrado / Architecture and the Politics of Reading: The Case of the Generalštab Building in Belgrade

by Vladimir Kulić

Rome: Fondazione Bruno Zevi, 2010.

A dyed-in-the-wool modernist and fighting partisan, Nikola Dobrovic designed and constructed the
Generalštab between 1954 and 1963, the intense years of communist edification in its Yugoslavian version. The two options, one professional and the other political, while compatible elsewhere, in this case conflicted and worked towards the exegesis of the emblematic building. It is this condition that inspires the fortunate title of the essay: Architecture and the Politics of Reading. In fact, depending upon the period in history, spatial and structural qualities triumph over symbolic values, and vice versa. Kulic’s fascinating investigation, which unites the necessary detachment of the historian with the authentic participation of an eyewitness, is articulated on multiple levels. Dobrovic’s history, from his Mitteleuropean education in the 1930s to his experience as a partisan in 1944 and his post-war academic career, is interwoven in the specific exploration of the building and its formal and spatial prerogatives. At the same time, the building is examined against the historical backdrop of the former Yugoslavia, from the victory of the Communists to the break with Moscow, and from the collapse of communism to the bloody Kosovo War. Thus the investigation of the “dynamism of space in movement”, sharp lines, strip windows, a-symmetries and vertiginous voids alternates with a reading of the two opposing stepped blocks as the representation of a real place: the Sutjeska Gorge, the theatre of the most ferocious and epic battle against Nazism fought in 1943. While architects privileged the first, the general public opted for the second though only, Kulic warns us, prior to the collapse of communism and the 1999 bombing of the building-symbol of the “pride and courage” of a nation. “Only the Serbian architects cried over its destruction, because for them it represented a better past: a lively, intellectual, cosmopolitan and authentic modernism, the exact opposite of the mental closure of the nationalist ideals that led the country to ruin. There were only a few rare individuals who observed the paradoxical aspect of NATO’s attempt to fight a presumed ‘new fascism’ by bombing the building that once represented the revolt of this ‘proud nation’ against real historical fascism”. What of the Generalštab today? It is an architectural and symbolic void that must be filled.

Actually, whether one analyses the landscapes depicted on Roman frescos or whether one interrogates the architecture on Byzantine mosaics, architecture is typically the privileged object which the researcher attempts to identify the correspondence between image and reality, since they assume images faithfully reproduce reality. Images of architecture are almost always the target of discussion concerning either their identification with specific cities and places or the function of the architecture represented (i.e. temple, palace, fortresses etc.). Indeed, it is quite common that each building depicted is submitted to the research of a “perspective” point of view. Thus, apparently, one Assyrian image of architecture does not differ from the others, even though they belong to different periods and cultures: generally speaking they generate the same methodological questions. Yet, the answers are surely different and, even in the domain of ancient Near Eastern art, Assyrian images constitute a unique case of study for both assumptions and aims. The shape is exceptionally similar, the context of their representation seems not to differ so strongly, and it is clear that each image is composed of the same elements, as the image of human figures are composed of a head, arms and legs even when the artist put them in unnatural order. But the reproduction of reality is different Art. The uniformity of Assyrian images of architecture lays also in a consistent historical tradition, which demonstrates that it works, not as a simple background or urban landscape, but as an independent agent sometimes called to take part and lead the procession of the depicted events. Thus, the function of the depicted architecture, on one hand, and the function of the image of architecture in the syntax of the narrative, constitute the dual nature of the image where three-dimensional reality and the construction of its artificial image interlace. The clarification and definition of this nature are the main assumptions of research that aims not at the recognition in the image of an alleged reality, but at the recognition of Assyrian methods of perception and production of two-dimensional architectural spaces.

Egyptian Tomb Architecture:
The Archaeological Facts of Pharaonic Circular Symbolism

First, the report presents the architectural and archaeological data showing how this was done, and then it goes on to explain what the symbolism meant in some depth.

The general subject matter is the pharaonic funerary architecture of Old Kingdom Egypt, and the work focuses specifically on the circular proportions deliberately incorporated into the tomb designs by the architects. In 1940, the famous Egyptologist Professor Sir William Matthew Flinders Petrie wrote, regarding these proportions that: 'these relations of area and of circular ratios are so systematic that we should grant they were in the builder's design' (Petrie: Wisdom of the Egyptians 1940: 30). So Petrie concluded that the circular proportions in the funerary monuments were deliberate, yet he never ventured an explanation for the phenomenon.

An explanation for the phenomena observed has hitherto remained elusive. The data is derived from the royal funerary architecture from the Old Kingdom, and illustrates the underlying systems of measurement and geometry that were employed therein. As well as providing a description and explanation for the data, this work also has the objective of providing the first synthesis of related cultural information drawn from several different textual and archaeological resources.

The underlying symbolism expressed in these proportions, and deliberately included in the primary dimensions of the monuments by the architects, was that of the 'shen ring' symbol, and this was closely associated with the royal patron god Horus.The shen ring represented 'eternal encircling protection', and by including this symbolism into the architecture, at the sarcophagus, tomb and overall structure levels, the Egyptians were incorporating a protective perimeter around the pharaonic burial place in a symbolic form.

The more familiar 'cartouche' is a rounded oval shape always shown protecting the pharaoh's name, and this is in fact a modified shen ring, and so we can see that the related ideas of pharaonic protection extended from the hieroglyphs naming the living king,to his funerary architecture, and yet represented the same ideas of encircling protection for the ruler.

The book details all of the supporting facts and evidence for the first time, and critiques all existing publications that have not reached this conclusion previously. Due to the interdisciplinary nature of the subject matter, additional effort has been made to ensure that the data and discussion is accessible to scholars and keen amateurs from all related disciplines.

"Sensi tempo e architettura. Spazi possibili per umani e non" Anna Barbara

by Gianni Romano

architecture

La ricerca di... more Questo libro nasce dal mio incontro con Sandra Bonfiglioli e le sue riflessioni e visioni sul tempo. La ricerca di Bonfiglioli e del Laboratorio LABSAT, Analisi e progetto degli Spazi e dei Tempi della Città composto da matematici, analisti urbani e pianificatori ha avuto sin dai suoi esordi come missione di sensibilizzare e sperimentare la temporalità come strumento di interpretazione, di governo e di progetto delle città.
Il gruppo di ricercatori ha studiato per un decennio e messo a punto modelli e cronotopi per l’avvio di politiche temporali in Italia, di cui Bergamo e Bolzano sono tra i casi più noti, e soprattutto ha tradotto disciplinarmente i propri studi sul tempo in modo che questo tema entrasse appieno come soggetto e strumento nella didattica della Facoltà di Architettura del Politecnico di Milano e nella sede a Piacenza come centro nevralgico.
Il loro invito a occuparmi di questo tema e a provare a tradurlo in termini architettonici per la progettazione di edifici è stato allettante, ma altrettanto difficile, perchè solo pochi architetti progettano le variabili e le qualità del tempo in maniera talmente esplicita da dichiararlo.
Le opere architettoniche citate in questo libro sono state selezionate perchè il tema del tempo viene citato apertamente dai loro autori o dai critici che se ne sono occupati nei termini in cui viene inquadrato.
La struttura del libro è estremamente aperta, composta come una piattaforma di cartelle, o persino di diapositive, disposte su un piano ipertestuale anzichè consecutivo, in grado di ospitare i futuri, auspicabili, altri contributi.
Potrebbe anche considerarsi un atlante che presenta alcuni temi ad una macro-scala e altri ad una scala più dettagliata a seconda del grado di approfondimento di alcune questioni rispetto ad altre.
Questo libro infatti non è da considerarsi un saggio di sintesi dei tre anni di studi che ho dedicato a questo tema, come ricercatrice e come docente, quanto piuttosto il tentativo di iniziare a fare ordine, concettuale e semantico all’interno di un panorama ancora molto frammentato di quella che forse un domani si potrà definire “architettura della temporalità” o, come viene definita in ambito internazionale “time-based architecture”.
Il libro è introdotto da Luca Molinari, che da anni segue e sostiene la mia
SenSi tempo e architettura 10
ricerca sui temi del tempo e dell’architettura e, come storico dell’architettura, ne monitora talvolta gli argini e gli eventuali rischi di esondazione teorica.
Segue un dialogo reale-digitale tra me e Marc Augé a cui, per forzatura di traduzione nell’edizione italiana, è stato attribuito il concetto controverso di “non luogo” e recentemente di “non tempo”. Proprio a partire dal suo ultimo libro Che fine ha fatto il futuro? Dai non-luoghi al non-tempo sono scaturite una serie di domande.
Il libro è diviso in sei sezioni tematiche :
• Ricerca teorica. Che prova a sintetizzare le questioni teoriche che riguardano il rapporto tra spazi e tempi, provando a tradurli nel contemporaneo.
• Strumenti. Sono gli studi e le pubblicazioni che ho usato come strumenti per indagare gli aspetti della percezione, del metodo, dello sguardo/ascolto, della progettazione.
• Mappe. Sezione curata da Luca Poncellini dedicata alla notazione del tempo dentro la mappatura dello spazio.
• Concetti. Sono alcuni dei punti nevralgici in cui il tempo incontra lo spazio producendo nuovi scenari attuali o possibili.
• Cronotipi. I progetti selezionati, come esempi per specificare la qualità temporale che li classifica, non hanno il tempo come fine, ma come strumento di progettazione. Questo significa che molti di loro potrebbero includere anche altre qualità temporali, ma sono comunque stati inseriti in quella che è presumibilmente la più significativa.
• Ricerca progettuale. è la parte che traduce nel mio esercizio progettuale alcuni concetti temporali.
Nel corso del libro ci sono espliciti riferimenti alle tesi di laurea degli studenti della Facoltà di Architettura del Politecnico di Milano, sede di Piacenza, che negli ultimi anni hanno partecipato al Laboratorio di progettazione architettonica e urbana tenuto da me, Luca Poncellini e Michele Calzavara, con cui ho condiviso ed elaborato molti dei contenuti trattati nel libro.

The Italian Piazza Transformed: Parma in the Communal Age

In The Italian Piazza Transformed, Areli Marina examines the radical transformation of Parma’s urban center in this tumultuous period by reconstructing the city’s two most significant public spaces: its cathedral and communal squares. Treating the space of these piazzas as attentively as the buildings that shape their perimeters, she documents and discusses the evolution of each site from 1196, tracing their construction by opposing political factions within the city’s ruling elite. By the early fourteenth century, Parma’s patrons and builders had imposed strict geometric order on formerly inchoate sites, achieving a formal coherence attained by few other cities.

Moreover, Marina establishes that the piazzas’ orderly contours, dramatic open spaces, and monumental buildings were more than grand backdrops to civic ritual. Parma’s squares were also agents in the production of the city-state’s mechanisms of control. They deployed brick, marble, and mortar according to both ancient Roman and contemporary courtly modes to create a physical embodiment of the modern, syncretic authority of the city’s leaders. By weaving together traditional formal and iconographic approaches with newer concepts of the symbolic, social, and political meanings of urban space, Marina reframes the complex relationship between late medieval Italy’s civic culture and the carefully crafted piazzas from which it emerged.

It analyzes the origin and development of its architectural forms, which were to a great extent unprecedented and were very influential in the development of English Gothic architecture and in conceptions of architecture to the present day. Architecture as Cosmology emphasizes the relation of the architectural forms to medieval philosophy, focusing on the writings of Robert Grosseteste, Bishop of Lincoln (1235-53). The architecture is seen as a text of the philosophy, cosmology, and theology of medieval English culture. This book should be useful to anyone interested in architecture, architectural history, architectural theory, Gothic architecture, and medieval philosophy.
