  • CONSTRUIR EN EL ESPACIO NEGATIVO Un Factor Fundamental
    JUAN ANTONIO CORTÉS Brussels, June 2005 CONSTRUIR EN EL ESPACIO NEGATIVO Un factor fundamental en la obra de Xaveer De Geyter Architecten, y uno de sus principales valores, es la relevancia que sus pro­ yectos otorgan al paisaje natural o construido y al modo en que la arquitectura se inserta en dicho paisaje y contribuye a la defini­ ción del mismo. También lo es el control de los procedimientos formales que ejercen en sus proyectos: ponen en práctica operacio­ nes claras, aunque con tratamientos a distintos niveles que confieren a las formas un alto grado de elaboración. Por otra parte, al abordar críticamente la arquitectura de una firma localizada en Bruselas, una ciudad que es a la vez centro euro­ peo y atlántico -sede de la Comisión, del Consejo de ministros y del Parlamento de la Unión Europea, pero también sede de la OTAN-:-, se constata que los planteamientos por los que se rige su arquitectura están más enraizados en aspectos de la 'joven' cul­ tura estadounidense que en la cultura de la 'vieja Europa'. DE 'LA MÁQUINA EN EL JARDÍN' A 'LA CULTURA DE LA CONGESTIÓN' En 1964 se publicó The Machine in the Garden. Technology and the Pastoral Ideal in America. 1 En este libro, Leo Marx habla de cómo ese ideal virgiliano transplantado a América, que soñaba con el comienzo de una nueva vida en un paisaje virgen y que está en el origen de la sociedad norteamericana, empezó a ser contaminado por la irrupción de una presencia inevitable, la de la máquina. La persistencia de una idealizada visión pastoral y el imparable avance de la tecnología son dos fuerzas que coexisten como sím• bolos colectivos en la literatura y en otras manifestaciones de la cultura de esa sociedad.

Il y met en lumière de manière parfois surprenante les paradoxes et les conflits de la vie (sub)urbaine. Son travail est fondé sur une croyance consciente dans le pouvoir formel de l’architecture, qui donne forme et organise les nombreux courants et les activités parfois inhabituelles de notre société contemporaine. Plutôt que fixer un contenu programmatique, il crée un environnement, nettement défini, dans lequel différents scénarii, histoires et issues sont possibles. Il ne renie pas la controverse et fait preuve d’audace, afin de dévoiler exactement le potentiel d’un site, d’un contexte… Sans crainte ou inhibition, son architecture est présentée comme un médiateur moderne et énergique, qui ne se repose pas sur un passé sécurisant ou sur un présent consensuel, mais qui embrasse l’incertitude d’un futur à la fois lucide et positif. Dans les années 1990, Xaveer De Geyter construit ses premières maisons à Mariakerke, Brasschaat et Sint- Niklaas. Par la suite, le bureau participe à de nombreux concours d’architecture et d’urbanisme internationaux.

  • Architecture? Contemporary Art, Architecture and the Museum
    Why Bother (About) Architecture? Contemporary Art, Architecture and the Museum. Wouter Davidts, Department of Architecture & Urban Planning, Ghent University (in: Arie Graafland (ed.), Crossover; Architecture, Urbanism, Delft, Delft School of Design (DSD), 2006). In November 2004, the Spanish artist Santiago Sierra intervened in the Museum Dhondt Dhaenens in Deurle, Belgium. In line with his reputation of being one of the most controversial contemporary artists, he made both a simple and a radical gesture. He took out all the artworks from the museum space and then removed all the glass from exterior doors and windows. The museum was stripped to the bone, reduced to a bare structure, where wind and rain had free reign. Sierra has a record of these kind of drastic acts against architecture. For his contribution to the Venice Biennial in 2003, he had the main entrance of the Spanish pavilion walled up. To the visitors' indignation, Sierra re-routed the entry via a dreary back door that was guarded by a Spanish police officer who only allowed passage to those who could present a valid Spanish passport. The handful of visitors who were able to comply were confronted with nothing but empty rooms inside. In Kunsthaus Bregenz, he loaded the upper floor of the building with 300 tons of bricks. The work 300 Tonnen, 300 Tons pushed the loading capacity of the KUB structure to the limit, to such an extent that the weight had to be dispersed by pillars on the lower floors. In all three of these cases, architecture - and by extension first and foremost the art institution that it houses - was tested in its capacity to endure artistic intrusion.

  • Flanders: Cultural Nebular City
    Flanders Cultural Nebular City Cultural infrastructure in a Horizontal Urban Landscape (in: Katrien Vandermarliere (red.) Flanders Architectural Yearbook 2002-2003, Antwerpen, Vlaams Architectuur Instituut (VAi), 2004, pp. 71-80.) Wouter Davidts “Passaic centre loomed like a dull adjective. Each ‘store’ in it was an adjective unto the next, a chain of adjectives disguised as stores. ... Actually, Passaic centre was no centre – instead it was a typical abyss or an ordinary void. What a great place for a gallery! Or maybe an ‘outdoor sculpture show’ would pep that place up!” Robert Smithson In his 1967 essay A Tour of the Monuments of Passaic, the artist Robert Smithson reports on his trip to Passaic, a place in the suburbs of New Jersey.1 Smithson lyrically describes the generic character of the post-industrial landscape he encounters on his ‘suburban Odyssey’. Passaic doesn’t offer picturesque views, iconic buildings or relics of a glorious past, only a juxtaposition of places and things that rival each other in their dullness and insignificance. This bit of suburbia exists without the “big events” of history. Nor does it have an illustrious future. According to Smithson it is doomed to bathe in a lethargic present. All you can find are “memory traces of an abandoned set of futures”. The only monuments Smithson discerns in the “zero panorama” of Passaic vary from a rusty steel bridge, a pumping derrick with a set of pontoons, a sand-box, gushing pipes to an extensive asphalt car lot. In comparison with the urban density of New York, the peripheral Passaic seems full of “holes”.
