Building the Future on Lessons of Historic Reinforced Concrete sustainability Article Building the Future on Lessons of Historic Reinforced Concrete Maria Bostenaru Dan Department of Urban and Landscape Design, Faculty of Urbanism, “Ion Mincu” University of Architecture and Urbanism, 010014 Bucharest, Romania; [email protected] Received: 12 May 2020; Accepted: 20 July 2020; Published: 23 July 2020 Abstract: This contribution presents the way the construction material reinforced concrete was introduced at the beginning of the 20th century, from both the technical (Hennebique system) and the philosophical points of view. The philosophy underlying the use of this material is evident in the theories on finding a language of form corresponding to tectonics, and its dialogue with timber, formulated by certain notable practicing architects of the time across Europe. Not to be neglected are aspects relating to the conservation of material and to interventions carried out over time. In Modernist times, this meant a change from the artistic expression of Art Nouveau. Today, it means technical adaptation. The paper addresses thus sustainability of intervention versus conservation. Keywords: 20th century architecture; historic concrete; conservation 1. Introduction Concrete had existed since the Roman times, but it was Joseph Monier (8 November 1823 Saint-Quentin-La-Poterie–12 March 1906, Paris) who conceived the idea of reinforcing it, showing the idea at the Paris Exhibition 1867. Although reinforced concrete was a new material which spread during the heyday of Modernism, its language of form was sought after during the Art Nouveau period. The new material introduced at the time of Art Nouveau was iron, but the discussion on finding new forms for new materials applied equally to reinforced concrete. In many parts of Europe, unlike older buildings which are doubtless recognized as heritage, buildings from the 20th century still struggle to get this status, not being considered old enough. Also, the innovative material concrete was seen in that time as technological revolution, as we will see in this paper, but proved in history not to be an everlasting material. At that time, the material was suitable for industrial production and was also employed in industrial buildings, since the challenge of early 20th century was related to economic efficiency and industrialization. The challenges of the beginning of the century were connected to the mass movement of the population to cities, in search of work places in the context of industrialization, and this was highlighted also in the discussions (conference, films, exhibitions) of Bauhaus 100th anniversary last year (1919–2019). Today’s challenges are different and related to environmental protection. Sustainability is an issue we have to take into account when thinking today of future generations, since resources are limited. The city cannot expand anymore, and these environmental issues are building a mostly invisible fortification around the city, sometimes visible as a green belt. Intensive construction replaces extensive construction. As such, the reuse of the materials they are made of or of the whole buildings of early 20th century is one of the challenges of today, especially since concrete aged and security requirements also evolved since and are not met today anymore. The sustainability of concrete as production material was addressed in [1]. Today, some buildings present challenges of security [2] against earthquake. According to the Brundtland report in 1987, 33 years ago now, the sustainability of concrete has to be put into question. Mindes and Aitcin [3] built on this affirmation when thinking of the material included in concrete, but concentrated Sustainability 2020, 12, 5925; doi:10.3390/su12155925 www.mdpi.com/journal/sustainability Sustainability 2020, 12, 5925 2 of 26 Sustainability 2020, 12, x FOR PEER REVIEW 2 of 27 materialon contemporary is only sparsely concrete. produced.

I argue that the emergence of the category of abstract art in the 1920s is grounded in a voluntaristic impulse to remake the world. I argue that the consolidation of abstract art as a movement emerged out of the Parisian reception of a new Soviet art practice that contained a political impetus that was subsequently obscured as this moment passed. The occultation of this historical context laid the groundwork for the postwar “multiplication” of the meanings of abstraction, and the later tendency to associate its early programmatic aspirations with a more apolitical mysticism. Abstraction has a long and varied history as both a conceptual-aesthetic practice and as an ideal.

En n'importe quelle assemblée, même s'il restait silen- cieux - car il n'avait rien d'un bavard - sa présence s'imposait . Il y avait en lui une sorte de dignité majes- tueuse, un air de grand seigneur mi-naturel, mi-étudié, une faconde un peu insolite qui commandaient le respect. L'aristocratie morale s'affirmait en sa personne avec tant d'évidence qu'elle dominait l'ascendance plébéienne. Les traits de son visage n'étaient nullement ceux d'un condottiere ; il en avait cependant la prestance . Son port de tête, sa taille moyenne, mais redressée, lui conféraient une allure un peu hautaine qui était l'objet d'éternelles plaisanteries bienveillantes de ses familier: On disait qu'il portait sur ses épaules son propre buste sculpté pour l'éternité, qu'il parlait en majuscules et que ses propos, rares, concis et drus, encadrés de pauses, étaient conçus pour l'épigraphie. Cet air impérieux était pourtant démenti par un regard d'une grande douceur, et par des yeux clairs pleins de calme bonté .

  • The Hennebique Archives: Toward a New Corpus for Contemporary Architectural History
    214 American Archivist / Vol. 59 / Spring 1996 The Users Downloaded from http://meridian.allenpress.com/american-archivist/article-pdf/59/2/214/2748875/aarc_59_2_6r8g575725414x37.pdf by guest on 25 September 2021 The Hennebique Archives: Toward a New Corpus for Contemporary Architectural History GILLES RAGOT Abstract: The voluminous archives of the Hennebique engineering firm, which was a pioneer in reinforced concrete construction, provides an example of processing procedures and priorities for architectural records. The completeness and heterogeneous nature of architectural records greatly influence processing time. It is necessary to balance the needs of both historians and archivists when processing records, and it is also necessary to preserve the records not just of significant buildings or architects, but of the ordinary architects, and the non-architects who influenced architectural works, in order to develop a fuller picture of the development of the landscapes in which we live. About the author: Gilles Ragot holds a doctorate in Art History from the Universite de Paris IV Sorbonne. Working at the Institut Francais d'architecture from 1984 to 1994, he was instrumental in the creation of the Centre d'archives d 'architecture du 20e siecle in Paris, for which he was curator from 1988 to 1994. He is currently a professor at the School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture at the Universite de Bordeaux where he organized the Centre d'archives d'architecture et de paysage in Aquitaine (France). The author would like to acknowledge the kind assistance of Gwenael Delhumeau in the preparation of this paper. The Hennebique Archives 215 The Centre d'Archives d'Architecture du Vingtieme Siecle THE ARCHIVES OF THE Hennebique engineering firm, a pioneer in reinforced concrete construction, was deposited with the Centre d'archives d'architecture du vingtieme siecle of the Institut Frangais d'Architecture (IFA) in 1989, the year the archives center opened.

KAPPEL has been approved for the Interdisciplinary Arts and the College of Fine Arts by William F. Condee Professor of Interdisciplinary Arts Charles A. McWeeny Dean, College of Fine Arts 4 ABSTRACT KAPPEL, CAROLINE J., Ph.D., November 2007, Interdisciplinary Arts Labyrinthine Depictions and Tempting Colors: The Synaesthetic Dances of Loïe Fuller as Symbolist Choreography (246 pp.) Director of Dissertation: William F. Condee This study explores Loïe Fuller’s use of synaesthesia to bring together various sensations so as to create a dreamlike effect in her choreography, while at the same time presenting a visual representation of symbolist ideals. On the music-hall stage she created popular ideas that had otherwise been restricted to small experimental theaters. In the visual arts, she became a constant public image of poster art as well as paintings, sculptures, and prints. She also dramatically presented the visualization of avant-garde color theories, while simultaneously representing symbolist ideals of the literary world. By tracing her explorations with the other arts in the context of various artistic, scientific, and movement theories, Fuller’s work can serve as a model for interdisciplinary studies in the fine arts.
