Bowl: a Chair for Freedom Bowl: A Chair for Freedom By Adélia Borges Six decades ago, chairs would rigidly dictate the way people should sit on them. Users had just one option: to sit up straight. The 1951 Bowl Chair arrived to shake up this scene. Man no longer obeyed the object; now the object would obey man, according to their movements and desires. Far from limiting or constraining users, it would free them. Freedom is a key word in the ideas and trajectory of the chair’s creator, Lina Bo Bardi, and an everyday practice in her plural activities. In all the dimensions of her work, more than technique or aesthetics, she was interested in serving human beings. ‘True architecture is a total process, embracing human beings’ economic, political and social relationships,’ Lina wrote. ‘Surely beauty, a beautiful form, is capable of consoling man. Poetry in form is vital. However, without architecture’s social sense, all of this gets lost. Man is the ultimate objective of architecture.’ The Bowl Chair illustrates this enunciation perfectly. The poetry in its essential form comes to the forefront at first sight. It can be summed up as a shell deposited on a tubular frame. These two pieces are loose, superimposed without any means of fixation. ‘What is new in this piece of furniture, what is absolutely new, is the fact that the chair can achieve movement from all sides, with no mechanic means whatsoever, only due to its spherical form. There are no other pieces of furniture of this kind,’ Lina wrote about her Bowl Chair. Innovation was evident, so much so the chair was featured in a cover story in the renowned American magazine Interiors in November 1953, sixty years ago – a notable feat, considering Brazil was, at that time, regarded as a peripheral country in the design arena, with its creations usually destined to invisibility, the opposite of what was happening in centers of power such as New York, London, or Milan. With the title Inventions in Furniture, the text on Interiors emphasized particularly the fact that users ‘can change posture and reclining angle so easily,’ mentioning ‘the humor and resourcefulness of the designer.’ And it added: ‘It is the designer herself who dramatizes the versatility of her semi-spherical chair by a change from casual to formal costume. The bowl’s tilt responds to light downward pressure of hand or thigh. Its light weight makes it easy to lift from the frame for almost horizontal off-floor lolling.’ In the photo-essay mentioned by the magazine, Lina was captured in different positions, with her legs hanging or retracted. In an article published by Brazilian magazine Habitat, she wrote captions to these images enunciating functions for the chair: of reading, of thinking, of lying down, of sleeping, of nesting – curiously, she does not mention its obvious use, the function of sitting down, probably because Lina was everything but obvious or predictable in her trajectory. Thus, she makes clear that, beyond formal refinement or technical innovation inherent to the object, her intention through her direct design was flexibility, offering a great variety of positions in order to fulfill a great variety of needs and wishes. Human beings should be in the center of everything. Arper SPA Instituto Lina Bo e P.M.

She had come to the country in 1946, leaving behind the post-war era in Italy. Chair designs were not strange to her history: there are references of a seat designed by her in the Bo and Pagano studio, while she still lived in Milan. In that Italian city, where she lived from 1939 to 1945, first working in her own studio and later with Gio Ponti, she had created product designs, graphic designs, set decorations, illustrations, exhibitions, press articles, etc. – what she had not done was architecture per se, as Italy in the early 40s ‘was marked by destruction rather than construction.’ In Brazil, a country where everything was yet to be done, she kept on her plural activities and added new challenges to them. As early as 1947, she designed an adaptation to a building so it could house Museu de Arte de São Paulo, directed by her husband, Pietro Maria Bardi. That was where she developed her first Brazilian piece of furniture, a wood and leather folding chair for the Museum’s auditory. In 1948, revealing her fascination with this typology of objects, she organized the A cadeira [The Chair] exhibition at Museu de Arte de São Paulo. From 1948 to 1951, she maintained the Studio de Arte e Arquitetura Palma with architect Giancarlo Palanti, dedicated to manufacturing furniture. ‘My starting point was structural simplicity, taking advantage of the extraordinary veins and dyes of Brazilian woods as well as their degree of resistance and capacity,’ allied to cheap cotton fabrics and leather. The Bowl Chair was designed when the partnership with Palanti was broken and she was excited about being finally able to build her first architecture work, the now renowned Casa de Vidro [Glass House], her home. There is no evidence that she might have designed the Bowl Chair specifically for Casa de Vidro. According to architect Marcelo Ferraz, who contributed with her and studied her history, there are indications that this design was aimed at being a commercially successful piece, produced in industrial scale for a wide market. The Situation in Brazil Development in Brazil at that time certainly fed Lina’s and other designers’ dreams regarding the role of design in building the country’s industrial future within the process of modernity. Economy was growing with budding industrialization. Urbanization was speeding up. Democratic airs were being breathed after a regime ended in 1947. In 1950, the first television transmission happened in the country. Cultural life in large cities was booming. In 1951, the first Bienal de Arte de São Paulo took place. Architecture had a key role in building a country aspiring to be new, to be a ‘country of the future.’ The basis for modern architecture had been launched in 1925, in a manifest signed by Gregori Warchavchik, a Russian architect who had moved to Brazil and who was designing buildings and furniture in São Paulo. In 1943, Oscar Niemeyer’s seminal work Arper SPA Instituto Lina Bo e P.M.

Between 1943 and 1945 the building of the Brazilian Education Ministry was erected in Rio de Janeiro, signed by a team comprising Lucio Costa, Oscar Niemeyer, and Le Corbusier, which would come be considered a milestone in Brazilian modern architecture. The movement of modern architecture asked for interiors consonant to its clean forms. To styles of the past, to brocades and velvets, unthinkable of in a tropical climate, new creators opposed radical forms: furniture and objects in tune with their here and now, adapted to their times, to the latitude and longitude where they were developed. As well as designing, one had to convince consumers. In her press articles, Lina dedicated herself to preaching: ‘Furniture has its own morality as well as raison d’être in its own times. Copying past styles, frills, fringes, is an indication of incoherent mentalities, alien to the morality of life.’ Architects themselves, such as Lúcio Costa, Oscar Niemeyer, Gregori Warchavchik, and John Gras, developed furniture focused on equipping the buildings they designed. Other professionals, however, dedicated themselves primarily to furniture design. Before 1951, two names can be mentioned. The first one was Joaquim Tenreiro, a Portuguese immigrant, whose first piece of furniture exempt of ‘all Louises’ – as he would joke when referring to styles of furniture such as Louis XV, Louis XVI, etc. with which he would win his bread – was created in 1942. Trained as a cabinet maker, Tenreiro became capable of creating truly light forms. He would work with dense woods, particularly jacaranda, aiming at the higher end market. José Zanini Caldas, on the other hand, would use wood compensate, which he would cut into organic and amoeba-like forms. In 1948, he put together his own manufacture, Móveis Artísticos Z, with a dream of creating affordable projects in industrial scale. After 1951, besides those already mentioned, we can also point out creators such as Sergio Rodrigues, Jorge Zalszupin, Geraldo de Barros, and Michel Arnoult, primarily dedicated to furniture design, and names such as Paulo Mendes da Rocha and even Oscar Niemeyer, who have designed furniture as consequence of their work with architecture. Among companies, we can highlight Estúdio Branco & Preto, Ambiente, Forma, Oca, L’Atelier, and Mobília Contemporânea. These names advanced the idea of honest furniture with simple forms, free of ornament and with great care regarding design and execution, entailing subversion of concepts relative to front or back, right side or reverse, expressing integral quality. Woods were predominant in their designs, with their wide chromatic variety, as well as leather and woven cane – materials easily found in the country as well.

  • 7. Another Museum (Display and Desire)
    7. Another Museum (Display and Desire) The search for the real, in particular for real relations, and specifically the search for real relations between objects and people, takes on the form of utopia. Whether it be works of art (objects that are primarily non-relational), or products of the disenfranchised (objects of desperate survival), or ill-begotten treasures (objects collected in order to make the past present to the undeserving, taking away from others the possibility to figure the future), author Roger M Buergel, interpreting the displays of architect Lina Bo Bardi in the light of migration, and critic Pablo Lafuente, reading a work by artist Lukas Duwenhögger, demonstrate that things will, given the right circumstances, elicit subjectivity in spectatorship. agency, ambivalence, analysis: approaching the museum with migration in mind — 177 The Migration of a Few Things We Call − But Don’t Need to Call − Artworks → roger m buergel → i In 1946, 32-year-old Italian architect Lina Bo Bardi migrated to Brazil. She was accompanying her husband, Pietro Maria Bardi, who was a self- taught intellectual, gallerist and impresario of Italy’s architectural avant garde during Mussolini’s reign. Bardi had been entrusted by Assis de Chateaubriand, a Brazilian media tycoon and politician, with creating an art institution of international standing in São Paulo. Te São Paulo Art Museum (MASP) had yet to fnd an appropriate building to house its magnifcent collection of sculptures and paintings by artists ranging from Raphael to Manet. Te recent acquisitions were chosen by Bardi himself on an extended shopping spree funded by Assis Chateaubriand, who had taken out a loan from Chase Manhattan Bank in an impoverished, chaotic post-war Europe.

  • Brazil's Best-Kept Secret

Like no other country of its size, Brazil has projected its character to the world through modern architecture – the government buildings and housing projects of Brasília, the skyscrapers along São Paulo’s broad Avenida Paulista, the pleasure palaces of Rio’s Sambódromo and Maracanã stadium. We think we know the look of Brazil. For all the beauty of Copacabana and the Amazon, Brazil in our imaginations is a built environment, one where International Style modernism was souped up with plunging curves, organic detailing, and lush greenery. One woman in particular can help us expand our view not just of Brazil but of modern architecture at large. Lina Bo Bardi, an Italian-born architect with an uncommon commitment to building for society’s needs, was just getting her practice started when Lúcio Costa and Oscar Niemeyer began to adapt international modernism for local purposes.

  • Gendering Architecture, Architecting Gender Introduction
    GENDERING ARCHITECTURE, ARCHITECTING GENDER INTRODUCTION The Women in Architecture Student Organization (WIASO) presents: Gendering Architecture, Architecting Gender, a celebration of female architects throughout history as well as contemporary female architects often neglected or erased in mainstream media and architectural curricula. By showcasing works by female architects, WIASO hopes to counteract the dominant narrative of the architect as a male subject. This exhibition works to rewrite architectural history by acknowledging the contributions of female architects who have been dismissed, belitted, or denied credit for their work. By looking at architectural movements from a critical, feminist perspective, one is able to recenter history around marginalized identities and redefine what it means to be an architect. The exhibition is a glimpse at a shared history among female architects at the University of Minnesota, one that architecture students are learning about and contributing to daily. Women’s School of Planning and Architecture, 1975 EXHIBITION CREDITS DESIGN & CURATION Support for this exhibition and programs provided by the Goldstein Museum of Design, the College of Design, and generous individuals. In addition, GMD programming is made possible by the voters of Minnesota Neva Hubbert UMN Architecture Student through a Minnesota State Arts Board Operating Support grant, thanks to Dana Saari UMN Architecture Student the legislative appropriation from the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund.

  • O Museu De Arte De São Paulo E O Solar Do Unhão Silvana Barbosa Rubino ([email protected]) Departamento De Arquitetura – CEATEC – Puccamp
    Uma Arquiteta, Duas Capitais, Dois Projetos de Museu: o Museu de Arte de São Paulo e o Solar do Unhão Silvana Barbosa Rubino ([email protected]) Departamento de Arquitetura – CEATEC – PUCCamp Resumo O Museu de Arte de São Paulo (MASP) e o Solar do Unhão, em Salvador, BA, onde funcionou por um breve período um Museu de Arte Popular, são projetos arquitetônicos de Lina Bo Bardi. Nesse texto, chamamos os dois museus de “projetos totais”, uma vez que vão do edifício e sua relação com o contexto urbano até a definição do espaço interno, opções museológicas, acervo, exposições, publicações. Lina esteve por trás de todas essas tarefas. Contudo, mesmo tratando-se da mesma arquiteta romana que se mudou para o Brasil em 1947, os museus têm particularidades que – é esse o argumento do texto – vinculam-se a transformações culturais, sociais e econômicas que as duas cidades viviam nos anos do pós- guerra. Diferentes concepções de modernidade: Salvador vivia um “renascimento” enquanto São Paulo afirmava sua centralidade de cidade industrial. Palavras-chave: Lina Bo Bardi; MASP; Solar do Unhão; Arquitetura; Brasil 1945-1964; cidades Abstract The São Paulo Museum of Arts (MASP) and the Solar do Unhão, located in Salvador, BA, where for a short term there was a Museum of Popular Arts, have been designed by Lina Bo Bardi. In this essay, we name both museums “total designs”, for they cover a wide range, from the building and its connections to urban space, to museological choices, exhibitions, periodicals, collection. Lina had been concerned to all these tasks. Nevertheless, even if we consider that the same roman female architect, who moved to Brazil in 1947, designed both buildings, both museums had particular aspects.
