oai:ojs.www.unisinos.br:article-45452021-08-30T19:09:20Z Architecture as landscape La arquitectura como paisaje Escoda, Carmen This article is a reflection on the transformation that occurred in the so-called Modern Movement in architecture, which focuses on the relationship with the environment. In the modern movement, nature and the environs surrounding buildings are converted into an added formal factor that the architect can manipulate and transform. Thus, walls, slabs, roofs, openings, space, materials, light, colour and the natural environment become the architect’s basic vocabulary. Whether actively or passively, by dialogue or by contrast, the environment in which all architectural work is found becomes just another actor in the scene. The aesthetic or symbolic dimension that had traditionally been part of garden or landscape projects was discarded by the modern movement, and garden design – as it had been focused on throughout history – was no longer of interest. The traditional garden or park was seen as the artificial product of an obsolete culture. Although in modern times one can hardly speak of a living modern tradition of landscape gardening, a culture of the organic and an interest in the site have a strong presence. This can be seen in the work of F. Lloyd Wright, “a true pioneer in the exploration of the relationship of architecture with the site” (Montaner, 1997, p. 34) and the creator of buildings that adopt geometries that fit the site, as well as in the work of other architects such as Mies, Neutra, Barragán and Le Corbusier. Their works seek a modern space that is not indifferent to the site and show this seduction for the world of living nature as a metaphor of architecture. Key words: modern architecture, site, landscape. Este artículo es una reflexión sobre la transformación que se produjo en la arquitectura del llamado Movimiento Moderno, centrándonos en las relaciones con el entorno. Con el movimiento moderno, la naturaleza y el entorno que rodea a los edificios se convierten en un factor formal añadido que el arquitecto puede manipular y transformar. Así, muros, losas, cubiertas, aberturas, espacio, materiales, luz, color y entorno natural se convierten en el vocabulario básico del arquitecto. Ya sea por activa o por pasiva, por diálogo o por contraste, el entorno en el que se inscribe toda obra arquitectónica pasa a ser un actor más de la escena. La dimensión estética o simbólica que tradicionalmente había formado parte de los proyectos de jardines o paisajes quedó descartada por el Movimiento Moderno, y el diseño de jardines no interesaba tal como había sido enfocado a lo largo de la historia. El jardín o el parque tradicional eran vistos como el producto artificial de una cultura obsoleta. A pesar de que en los tiempos modernos difícilmente puede hablarse de una tradición moderna viva del paisajismo de jardines, aparece con fuerza una cultura de lo orgánico y un interés por el lugar, desarrollada en la obra de F. Lloyd Wright, “auténtico pionero de la exploración de la relación de la arquitectura con el lugar” (Montaner, 1997, p. 34), creador de edificios que adoptan geometrías que se adaptan al lugar, y en los trabajos de otros arquitectos como Mies, Neutra, Barragán y Le Corbusier, cuyas obras persiguen un espacio moderno que no sea indiferente al lugar y manifiestan esta seducción por el mundo de la naturaleza viva como metáfora de la arquitectura. Palabras clave: arquitectura moderna, lugar, paisaje.

This article is a reflection on the transformation that occurred in the so-called Modern Movement in architecture, which focuses on the relationship with the environment. In the modern movement, nature and the environs surrounding buildings are converted into an added formal factor that the architect can manipulate and transform. Thus, walls, slabs, roofs, openings, space, materials, light, colour and the natural environment become the architect’s basic vocabulary. Whether actively or passively, by dialogue or by contrast, the environment in which all architectural work is found becomes just another actor in the scene. The aesthetic or symbolic dimension that had traditionally been part of garden or landscape projects was discarded by the modern movement, and garden design – as it had been focused on throughout history – was no longer of interest. The traditional garden or park was seen as the artificial product of an obsolete culture. Although in modern times one can hardly speak of a living modern tradition of landscape gardening, a culture of the organic and an interest in the site have a strong presence.
