    Research Collection Conference Paper ‘Crackpot’ and ‘Dangerous’: On the authenticity of Miesian reproductions What If? What Next? Speculations on History's Futures Author(s): Hamish, Lonergan Publication Date: 2020-11-20 Permanent Link: https://doi.org/10.3929/ethz-b-000460616 Rights / License: In Copyright - Non-Commercial Use Permitted This page was generated automatically upon download from the ETH Zurich Research Collection. For more information please consult the Terms of use. ETH Library ‘Crackpot’ and ‘Dangerous’: on the Authenticity of Miesian Reproductions Abstract: In 2016, the architectural press reported the planned reconstruction of Mies van der Rohe’s Wolf House, built in 1927 in Gubin, Poland, and destroyed during World War Two. Supporters claimed that, by consulting the architect’s presentation drawings, they could rebuild the house authentically. They cited a simplistic reading of philosopher Nelson Goodman’s distinction between autographic art—where an original is certified by the hand of the author—and the allographic, which is replicated through notation. Barry Bergdoll called the proposal ‘crackpot’, arguing that without the lost construction documentation it would become a ‘simulacrum’: an allusion to Jean Baudrillard’s notion of a copy without reference. Mies himself thought there was something ‘dangerous’ in building ‘a model of a real house’ after constructing his own full-scale façade mock-up for the unbuilt Kröller- Müller House (1913). Since then, an unprecedented number of reproductions have entered into their own ‘dangerous’ conversation with Mies’ work, trading to varying degrees on their authenticity. Some, like the Barcelona Pavilion reconstruction (1986) engage with heritage and archival practices in an attempt to accurately reconstruct a lost work.

    Théorie de l’architecture III Professeur Bruno Marchand Utzon aurait-il en tête l’aphorisme d’Auguste Perret: “Le grand architecte, c’est celui qui prépare de belles ruines”Auguste Perret cité par R. Claude dans “Auguste Perret et la demeure”, F ouleurs, n˚ 4, 1944. Lorsqu’à la fin de son mandat pour l’Opéra de Sydney, il compare, dans des propos amers et désabusés, les futures ruines de l’Opéra à celles, sublimes, du Chichén Itzà ucatan, qu’il a visité lors d’un séjour au Mexique, en 1949. Comme il l’a affirmé dans son texte “Platforms and Plateaus” de 1962, Utzon identifie la monumentalité à la pérennité du socle et tion sublime avec le paysage, à l’image des plateformes qui accueillent des temples précolombiens, où il remarque aussi l’importance de la présence monumentale des emmarchements et traste entre la base solide et la légèreté des constructions qu’elle accueille.“La plateforme est un élément architectural fascinant. J’ai été pour la première fois fasciné par ces plateformes lo voyage d’étude au Mexique, en 1949, où j’ai découvert plusieurs variations de l’idée et de la dimension de ces éléments. Ils irradient une grande force”.J.
