El presente artículo tiene como objetivo desvelar las claves con las que Lina abordó su quehacer arquitectónico como precursora de una serie de ideas próximas a lo que en la actualidad podemos relacionar con los principios de sostenibilidad. La finalidad de este estudio es que constituya una invitación a realizar una revisión de la disciplina arquitectónica en pleno siglo XXI que incorpore nuevas visiones de intervención sostenible que contemplen factores simbólicos y ambientales que satisfagan las necesidades del hombre desde el respeto a la sociedad, la cultura y el medioambiente. Para ello, se procederá al análisis e interpretación de su trayectoria profesional y de algunas de sus principales obras a partir de tres escalas que contemplan desde el diseño de objetos cotidianos, lo arquitectónico y lo urbano. Este estudio nos llevará a desvelar un modo de proceder basado en una preocupación social y medioambiental, pero cuya originalidad se encuentra en una vuelta a los orígenes que reivindica los procesos artesanales y populares basados en el reciclaje, la utilización de pocos recursos y de los medios que se tienen alcance de la mano, así como una relación sensible con la naturaleza y atenta a las necesidades humanas.

Traditional Japanese architecture played an important role in the development of modern European architecture, especially from the beginning of the 20th century. Based on this extensively documented thesis, the influence of Japanese culture and the traditional Japanese house on the figures of Erik Gunnar Asplund, Aino Aalto and Alvar Aalto, especially during the 1930s, is analysed. The study describes how these authors found inspiration in the East, as well as their contacts and sources of reference. Finally, it explains the extent to which they reinterpreted Japanese aesthetics in their designs, especially analysing the case of the Villa Mairea winter garden. In this context, the research points to the decisive role played by the figure of Tetsuro Yoshida and his text Das japanische Wohnhaus (1935) for the interests and designs of these Nordic authors.
传统的日本建筑在现代欧洲建筑的发展中发挥了重要作用,特别是从20世纪初开始。在此基础上,本文分析了日本文化和传统日本住宅对Erik Gunnar Asplund, Aino Aalto和Alvar Aalto的影响,特别是在20世纪30年代。该研究描述了这些作者如何在东方找到灵感,以及他们的联系方式和参考来源。最后,它解释了他们在设计中重新诠释日本美学的程度,特别是分析了Villa Mairea冬季花园的案例。在此背景下,研究指出吉田哲郎(Tetsuro Yoshida)的形象及其文本《Das japanische Wohnhaus》(1935)对这些北欧作家的兴趣和设计起到了决定性作用。

Esta investigación se centra en las relaciones existentes entre el habitante, la casa y los objetos que contiene, para revelar el papel que adquiere la colección en la construcción del espacio doméstico. El objeto de estudio es la casa de John Soane en Londres, como caso ejemplar en el que la colección se convierte en definidora y creadora de espacio. El estrecho vínculo entre colección y arquitectura se manifiesta especialmente en las Descriptions, el texto en el que Soane describe su propia casa a través de los objetos de cada estancia, planteando un recorrido ideado para revelar las virtudes del espacio arquitectónico. Se muestra así que la casa de Soane es una gran colección de arquitectura, materializada en la construcción simultánea de tres colecciones: de fragmentos de arquitectura, de edificios y de espacios arquitectónicos construidos. De algún modo, lo que Soane construye en el interior de su casa es un capricho arquitectónico. Una fantasía que representa una visión idealizada de su propia ‘idea de arquitectura,’ cuyo mayor valor y atractivo reside precisamente en la yuxtaposición deliberada de las piezas y en el diálogo que emerge entre ellas, construyendo así un espacio tridimensional cargado de significados intencionados.

The Spanish optical telegraph was planned by the Ministry of the Interior in 1844 for civilian governmental use. It was a ‘tower and telescope’ telegraph developed by Colonel José María Mathé, with a design clearly inspired by military sensibilities and considerations. This paper first analyses the contemporary military reference point of the embrasure tower as a military stronghold campaign. It goes on to examine the historical antecedents of watchtowers or signal towers from the 16th century and the freestanding or outpost towers from the 17th century. This is followed by a description of the architectural type of telegraph tower and an analysis of its variants, which gradually differed from the model typology in both form and materiality. Finally, it examines the military telegraph towers of the second and third Carlist wars. Thus, the historical and typological study emphasizes the military inspiration of the optical telegraph towers that has often gone unremarked in order to optimize the heritage characterization of the remaining structures.
西班牙的光学电报是由内政部在1844年计划的,供政府民间使用。这是一个由joss María math上校开发的“塔和望远镜”电报,其设计显然受到了军事敏感和考虑的启发。本文首先分析了碉堡作为军事据点战役的当代军事参照点。它继续研究了16世纪的瞭望塔或信号塔和17世纪的独立式或前哨塔的历史渊源。接下来是对电报塔的建筑类型的描述和对其变体的分析,这些变体在形式和材料上逐渐与模型类型不同。最后,它考察了第二次和第三次Carlist战争的军事电报塔。因此,历史和类型学研究强调了光学电报塔的军事灵感,为了优化剩余结构的遗产特征,这些灵感经常被忽视。

El patio, ya desde la antigüedad, ha sido un principio arquitectónico utilizado para resolver la forma de la casa y sus posibilidades han sido también incorporadas en el imaginario de la arquitectura moderna. El patio, tradicionalmente, se caracteriza por ser un recinto que se abre al cielo, donde confluyen las estancias de la casa y constituye un formidable elemento de orden arquitectónico. El patio en la obra de Antonio BonetCastellana (Barcelona, 1913-1989) incorpora múltiples registros. Como se verá, en ocasiones, Bonet desplaza elpatio a los contornos del edificio para enriquecer el camino ritual de acceso; para ocultar y proteger el interior desde el exterior y, al mismo tiempo, para abrir la casa al paisaje. A escala superior aparece aquello que el autor denomina la ‘explanada,’ entendida como plazoleta o patio de acceso que recibe al visitante. Por otro lado, la explanada asociada a plataformas, porches o muros se configura como mirador sobre el paisaje. La ambigüedad y libertad de patios y explanadas resuelve el juego de opuestos público-privado, sin que ninguno de ellos pierda su identidad. La hipótesis del artículo es desvelar nuevas posibilidades exploradas por Bonet, al incorporar patios y explanadas, en una selección de obras de escala doméstica.

En el año 1979 los arquitectos Félix Candela y Fernando Higueras comenzaron una colaboración que se prolongaría hasta 1987 y que dio como resultado siete proyectos de los cuáles tan solo uno llegó a construirse. Entre los proyectos aparece una variación de la icónica estructura de paraguas invertido de Candela que, de haberse llegado a construir, habría supuesto la mayor luz salvada por el arquitecto mediante este tipo de estructuras. Pese a tratarse de dos de los arquitectos españoles más relevantes del siglo XX, la divulgación no solo de los proyectos que realizaron en común, sino de la propia colaboración entre ambos ha sido escasa. El artículo presenta una recopilación de planos no publicados de los proyectos fruto de la colaboración entre Félix Candela y Fernando Higueras, e indica las fuentes documentales y la localización del resto de archivos originales que pudieran necesitarse en futuras investigaciones. El artículo estudia y analiza algunos aspectos de estos siete proyectos.

The architect Carlos de Miguel González was the author of the fishing village in Cartagena (Spain). The project promoted by the Instituto Social de la Marina in 1947 consisted of the construction of a housing complex and a Fisherman's House completed in 1955. The work was part of the Plan Nacional de Mejoramiento de la Vivienda en los Poblados de Pescadores which intended to address one of the main concerns of the Spanish state after the Civil War: the problem of poor housing. Thus, numerous actions were carried out along the entire Spanish coast, some published in Revista Nacional de Arquitectura. Therefore, the main objective of this paper is to publicize the Cartagena project and the vicissitudes of its construction, as the built work is quite different from the original project. It also aims to highlight its most outstanding features through a comparative analysis with the other projects published in the journal and by studying possible links with the vernacular architecture of the Region of Murcia.
建筑师Carlos de Miguel González是卡塔赫纳(西班牙)渔村的作者。该项目由Instituto Social de la Marina于1947年推动,包括一个住宅综合体和一个渔民之家的建设,于1955年完工。该项目是“国民计划”的一部分,旨在解决内战后西班牙国家的主要问题之一:贫困住房问题。因此,沿着整个西班牙海岸进行了许多行动,其中一些发表在《国家建筑评论》上。因此,本文的主要目的是宣传卡塔赫纳项目及其建设的沧桑,因为建成的工作与原始项目有很大的不同。它还旨在通过与期刊上发表的其他项目的比较分析,以及研究与穆尔西亚地区乡土建筑的可能联系,突出其最突出的特点。

Between 1950 and 1955, the United States Embassy in Madrid was planned and built on the former Huerta de Cánovas estate. This building has already been studied in its pioneering and controversial implementation in the Paseo de la Castellana. Some reference has also been made to the link between Mariano Garrigues, the Spanish architect who directed the construction works, and North America. This article goes deeper, however, into some issues that have not yet been explained; in particular, the aim is to reveal how a prototype of the International Style was adapted to local circumstances. For this purpose, both foreign sources related to the North American architectural office (Foreign Building Operations, FBO) and local sources related to the Spanish architect are used. Likewise, graphic analyses are carried out to complement the available information and to focus on aspects of the site, construction, and spatial organization. The analysis is not limited to the general aspects of the building. Its link with post-war modern architecture is increased with considerations of site, structure and furnishing. The final assessment falls somewhere between absolute adherence to modern ideals and local mediation.
1950年至1955年间,美国驻马德里大使馆在原Huerta de Cánovas庄园规划和建造。这座建筑已经在卡斯特拉纳大道的开创性和有争议的实施中进行了研究。一些人还提到了指导建筑工程的西班牙建筑师Mariano Garrigues与北美之间的联系。然而,本文将深入探讨一些尚未解释的问题;特别是,其目的是揭示国际风格的原型是如何适应当地环境的。为此,与北美建筑事务所(外国建筑业务,FBO)相关的外国资源和与西班牙建筑师相关的当地资源都被使用。同样,进行图形分析以补充现有信息,并将重点放在场地、建筑和空间组织方面。分析并不局限于建筑物的一般方面。它与战后现代建筑的联系随着场地、结构和家具的考虑而增加。最终的评估介于绝对坚持现代理想和地方调解之间。

The 'prodigious decade' of Spanish urbanism caused a large expansion of urban lands, but also a much greater amount of planned but undeveloped land. The planning for this 'expectant city' is a challenge for the future of our cities. In this work, the streets proposed in these plans are analysed by evaluating their dimensional characteristics (surface and width) and their habitability (pedestrian-cyclist space and previsions of tree lines). The research is focused on the city of Murcia, paradigmatic case of the expansive urbanism typical of the real estate bubble. We have studied 2,096 streets from 92 partial plans approved during the period 2002-2013. The results show how the analysed variables change according to the use and density of the sectors and can be useful to evaluate the improvement of the habitability of these streets before their execution.

During World War II, and even in the years that followed, thousands of American soldiers lived in prefabricated semi-cylindrical metal huts that could be dismantled and reused: Quonset Huts. Their singular design and their multiple uses made Quonset Huts an American military design icon. The daring construction system made it possible to manufacture them in the United States and take them across the Atlantic, armed with a comprehensive instruction manual. The Seabees, American soldiers posted to Spain to build the Naval Station Rota, set up a provisional camp in 1959 comprising fifty-three Quonset Huts. Assembling them in Spain provided housing for 500 soldiers and they were fitted with all types of facilities for their functions. This text aims to shed light on this unknown case of prefabricated dwellings in our country, contextualising the history of their design, construction and installation, and analysing the repercussion of this constructive experiment in the early days of prefabricated construction in Spain.
