El depósito industrial transformado en arquitectura y el paisaje: una nueva mirada a través del land art
(Universidad de Cuenca. Facultad de Arquitectura y Urbanismo, 2017-05-11) Cabrera Vergara, María
The appearance of colossal industrial deposits in our rural and urban landscapes entailed, to say the least, much criticism and a strong sentiment of rejection. And once obsolete and abandoned, their presence continued to
provoke equal or even greater skepticism. This study aims to value how the intervention in these objects and their transformation into architecture has modified their relationship with their surrounding environment as well as the
current perception people have from them, and to demonstrate the potential they hold from the landscaping point of view. The analysis of some of these projects evidence on the one hand, that due to the unique nature of these artifacts, the architects who had to face the task of transforming them had to reinvent their way of working, adopting methodologies, strategies and tools from the artistic discipline; and on the other, that the conceptual potential of these artifacts cannot be fully understood without taking into account this artistic and landscaping dimension.
Memorias en conflicto: el caso de Coventry
(Universidad de Cuenca. Facultad de Arquitectura y Urbanismo, 2017-05-11) Molina Iniesta, Mariano
The article attempts to explain the project to rebuild Coventry Cathedral after World War II in the light of the processes of formation of collective memory studied by Sociology, highlighting the conflicting interests of a local community willing to overcome a painful past and a nation interested in using such past to develop a narrative of victimization and resurrection across the country. Moreover it presents the project in Coventry as an example of admonitory monument or Mahnmal, popularized at that time due to the inability to sustain a narrative of war in terms of courage and honor.
Del patrimonio como objeto arquitectónico hacia la patrimonialización del paisaje: un recorrido por las Cartas y Textos internacionales del Patrimonio Cultural
(Universidad de Cuenca. Facultad de Arquitectura y Urbanismo, 2017-05-11) Rey Pérez, Julia
The purpose of this paper is to reflect about the evolution of the concept of heritage in which throughout history it has overpassed its monumental and national condition to include in a broader context. The Venice Charter (1964), the Convention of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage (1972), the consideration of landscape as heritage with the creation of the cultural landscape and The Recommendation on the Historic Urban Landscape (2011) as the most innovative tool for managing sustainable urban development are the horizons that structure this reflection. Undoubtedly, this review of international Charters and Texts verify that this conceptual change is accompanied by a transformation of the heritage values, which it is a response to the speed of transformation and accelerated growth of world urban development.
La impronta de El Escorial en la arquitectura española de la posguerra: algunos casos de reconstrucciones religiosas en la provincia de Alicante (España)
(Universidad de Cuenca. Facultad de Arquitectura y Urbanismo, 2017-05-11) Martínez Prades, José Antonio
After the destruction caused by the Spanish civil war, a theoretical debate started to try and determine what direction the new regime should take. This article analyses the model 'herreriano-escurialense', which symbolizes past imperial glory and which was proposed by the most conservative factions and by the Falange itself. It also looks how this model is reflected in some religious reconstruction works that took place during the post-war period based on three cases found in the province of Alicante. The study is based on the analysis of the documents kept in the General Archive of the State Administration belonging to Rebuilding Parochial Churches, incorporating certain data about its formal elements and some technical and budgetary features as well as references to the architects involved.
