idéias sobre arquitetura: a disciplina em desaparecimento

A disciplina em desaparecimento, projeto de http://www.virose.pt/ / http://arch.virose.pt/

"Arquitetura está se tornando um sistema de investigação e invenção no qual as questões funcionais, técnicas ou formais já não são mais paradigmáticas. Paradigmas e utopias tendem a desaparecer, tornando hipóteses acreditáveis de recuperação ou reinvenções ideológicas impossíveis.

Arquitetura conquistou um papel incerto na sociedade, tornando-se definitivamente uma forma de arte auto-consciente. A consciência desse estado de dissipação da arquitetura como uma disciplina com um corpus teórico estabelecido, alarga o campo de discussão fora de fronteiras estabelecidas embaraçando a prática e o discurso arquitetônico com outras disciplinas.

Arquitetura como um espaço livre aberto, levanta dúvida sobre o que é conhecimento arquitetônico específico, no entanto, arquitetura continua a produzir efeitos irredutíveis que legitimam sua autonomia"

"The vanishing discipline

Architecture is becoming a system of investigation and invention in which the technical, functional or formal questions are no longer paradigmatic. Paradigms and utopias tend to vanish, thus making credible hypothesis of recovery or ideological reinventions impossible.

Architecture conquered an uncertain role in the society, definitely becoming a self-conscious art form. The consciousness of this state of dissipation of archi-tecture considered as a discipline with an established theoretical corpus, widens the scope of discussion outside established frontiers, blurring architectural practice and discourse with other disciplines.

Architecture as a free open space, raises the doubt about what is architectural expertise, nevertheless architecture still produces irreducible effects that legitimate its autonomy."

idéias sobre arquitetura

"The word architecture has a number of meanings. For example, it is a subject, practice, and a certain type of object and space, typically the building and the city . . . I consider each of these definitions but focus on another: architecture is a certain type of object and space used. Within the term ‘use’ I include the full range of ways in which buildings and cities are experienced, such as habit, distraction and appropriation."

Jonathan Hill, Actions of Architecture, p. 2.

"There is so much in architecture that has to do with the creation of opinion as opposed to the creation of the thing, the making the thing. Making the thing and commenting on the thing are very much about developing a meaning of the thing that lasts."

Eric Owen Moss, SCI-Arc Mission Statement
