Abstract
Abstract Thirty years after its creation, this article provides insights into the Instituto Bardi’s archive, responsible for over 40,000 items from Lina Bo and Pietro Maria Bardi’s collection. It discusses the Bardi couple’s intention of creating an archive within the space of their dwelling as part of a broader preservation plan of their design, which involved the foundation of a cultural institution and the historical listing of their residence, Casa de Vidro, in Morumbi, São Paulo, Brazil, along with the furniture and artwork within it. Furthermore, this essay discusses the main challenges faced in the establishment and operation of an architectural archive in the Brazilian cultural, economic and political context, as well as the dynamics involved in the preservation of its items in parallel to the dissemination of Lina and Pietro’s oeuvre. In addition to discussing and examining matters specific to the Bardis’ archive collection, this essay raises questions of archival systematization that need to be addressed according to specific situations, such as accessibility of the contents, loan policies, and financial stability.
创建30年后,本文提供了对巴蒂研究所档案的见解,该档案负责Lina Bo和Pietro Maria Bardi收藏的40,000多件物品。它讨论了Bardi夫妇的意图,在他们的住宅空间内创建一个档案馆,作为他们设计的更广泛的保护计划的一部分,该计划涉及文化机构的基础和他们的住宅Casa de Vidro的历史清单,位于巴西圣保罗的Morumbi,以及其中的家具和艺术品。此外,本文还讨论了在巴西文化、经济和政治背景下建立和运营建筑档案馆所面临的主要挑战,以及在传播Lina和Pietro作品的同时,保护其项目所涉及的动态。除了讨论和考察巴尔迪斯档案收藏的具体问题外,本文还提出了档案系统化的问题,这些问题需要根据具体情况来解决,例如内容的可及性、借阅政策和财务稳定性。
期刊介绍:
Architecture and Culture, the international award winning, peer-reviewed journal of the Architectural Humanities Research Association, investigates the relationship between architecture and the culture that shapes and is shaped by it. Whether culture is understood extensively, as shared experience of everyday life, or in terms of the rules and habits of different disciplinary practices, Architecture and Culture asks how architecture participates in and engages with it – and how both culture and architecture might be reciprocally transformed. Architecture and Culture publishes exploratory research that is purposively imaginative, rigorously speculative, visually and verbally stimulating. From architects, artists and urban designers, film-makers, animators and poets, from historians of culture and architecture, from geographers, anthropologists and other social scientists, from thinkers and writers of all kinds, established and new, it solicits essays, critical reviews, interviews, fictional narratives in both images and words, art and building projects, and design hypotheses. Architecture and Culture aims to promote a conversation between all those who are curious about what architecture might be and what it can do.
