Esta paradoja fundacional de la modernidad tuvo en Miesvan der Rohe la expresión radical de una búsqueda intuitiva a través de unos dibujos probatoriosexpresados en los bocetos de sus proyectos de casas patio de finales de los años veinte en Europa,bocetos que culminaron en su obra más sorprendente y lograda: el Pabellón de Barcelona; y en losaños siguientes, en los collages de su primer proyecto en América, la casa Resor. Un recorrido por ellosrevelará por sí mismo la ambición visionaria desarrollada por el arquitecto y las dificultades que hubopara su materialización; paradójicamente, ésta es una de las cualidades de las cuales carece dicho vacíoilimitado, ingrávido e inconcluso, y el cual su arquitectura “construyó” de forma aporética haciendo deél otro material más del proyecto, cuando no el más importante.

How does one represent the void when it is invisible and lacks limits, yet constitutes the basisof an entire architecture? This foundational paradox of modernity was radically expressed bythe intuitive explorations of Mies van der Rohe in his sketches for courtyard houses in late-1920s Europe, sketches that culminated in his most astonishing, accomplished project: theBarcelona Pavilion; in later years, these explorations were expressed through the collagesfor his first American project, the Resor House. Examining these sketches and collages willreveal the architect’s visionary ambitions and the difficulties in making them a material reality;paradoxically, this is one of the aspects that the unlimited, weightless and unfinished voidlacks, which his architecture “constructed” aporetically, making it just another material, if notthe most important. |
