To some extent it obligates me to keep a distance with what I see, hear and learn; and convinces me to accept the truth that I may never understand something what others can, just like I may find something that others can’t. This nomadic perception of “I”, of the context, of the things I learn and write, is such a foundation, a motivation and support that keep accompanying me to start and to finish this investigation. I write this thesis which in turn portrays me. I think it is the essential meaning of every research work, always ending up with a reflection of ourselves. After these years, now it is a difficult time to recall all the names I should appreciate. But I have to remember professor José Ignacio Linazasoro, since this work is due in large part to his suggestive seminar on the silent European architects of 20th century. This course inspired my thesis of Master degree on the pathways around the Acropolis by Dimitris Pikionis, which later serves as the first chapter of the doctoral dissertation. Thanks to my friends and to the professors in Spain and China, who contributed with their advices to the progress of this thesis. Especially to professor José Manuel López Peláez, whose erudition, encouragement and generous help have facilitated the chapter of Sigurd Lewerentz. To professor Luis Martínez Santa-María, his impressive work Tierra Espaciada. El árbol, el camino, el estanque: ante la casa. shows me how to perceive and think, opening the door of this writing. To Jesús Ulargui Agurruza, with his intelligence, passion and kindness sets great examples of an architect who designs, of a professor who teaches, of a tutor who guides, and of a friend whom talk with. To Qirui, thanks to her patience, suggestions, understanding, and above all, her accompany. Finally, I dedicate this book to my parents, their legacy, their endless love and selfless dedication give me the courage to face and enjoy the life. xi xii RESUMEN ABSTRACT Este trabajo de investigación recorre ocho obras de cuatro arquitectos europeos, Dimitris This investigation retraces eight works by four European architects, Dimitris Pikionis, Pikionis, Sigurd Lewerentz, Francesco Venezia y Álvaro Siza, estableciendo análisis Sigurd Lewerentz, Francesco Venezia and Álvaro Siza, establishing analysis and y reflexiones sobre cómo las herramientas de la arquitectura son capaces de articular reflections on the mechanisms that architects have applied to make architecture capable la experiencia temporal que acompaña al visitante.

  • Eduardo Chillida. Echoes
    Eduardo Chillida. Echoes Eduardo Chillida. Echoes is a survey show conceived especially for the reopening of Chillida Leku. Curated by Ignacio Chillida and the museum’s research team, the exhibition features over 90 works, tracing the artist’s output from the late forties, a time when he engaged with figuration, until 2000, embracing his discovery of iron and following the development of his highly personal language. Eduardo Chillida. Echoes features works in iron, granite, alabaster, plaster and paper, and includes important series such as Gravitaciones (sculptures in paper lending particular importance to relief and void) as well as Lurras and Óxidos (works in chamotte clay). Besides works from the Estate of Eduardo Chillida, many pieces in this opening exhibition, some of which have rarely been seen before, are on loan from museums, institutions and private collections. This is the case, for instance, of major iron sculptures such as Deseoso (Wishful) (1954, Fundación La Caixa) and Del plano oscuro (1956, Fundación ICO, on deposit at Museo Reina Sofía), as well as several exceptional works like Hierros de temblor (Trembling Irons) (1957); Yunque de sueños VII (Anvil of Dreams) (1959) and Buscando la luz III (Searching for Light III) (1997). In order to better contextualize the works, the exhibition is expanded with photos, original manuscripts, letters and catalogues from the artist’s early years, carefully selected from the Eduardo Chillida Archive, which is also conserved at the museum.

    A British Reflection: the Relationship between Dante’s Comedy and the Italian Fascist Movement and Regime during the 1920s and 1930s with references to the Risorgimento. Keon Esky A thesis submitted in fulfilment of requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences. University of Sydney 2016 KEON ESKY Fig. 1 Raffaello Sanzio, ‘La Disputa’ (detail) 1510-11, Fresco - Stanza della Segnatura, Palazzi Pontifici, Vatican. KEON ESKY ii I dedicate this thesis to my late father who would have wanted me to embark on such a journey, and to my partner who with patience and love has never stopped believing that I could do it. KEON ESKY iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This thesis owes a debt of gratitude to many people in many different countries, and indeed continents. They have all contributed in various measures to the completion of this endeavour. However, this study is deeply indebted first and foremost to my supervisor Dr. Francesco Borghesi. Without his assistance throughout these many years, this thesis would not have been possible. For his support, patience, motivation, and vast knowledge I shall be forever thankful. He truly was my Virgil. Besides my supervisor, I would like to thank the whole Department of Italian Studies at the University of Sydney, who have patiently worked with me and assisted me when I needed it. My sincere thanks go to Dr. Rubino and the rest of the committees that in the years have formed the panel for the Annual Reviews for their insightful comments and encouragement, but equally for their firm questioning, which helped me widening the scope of my research and accept other perspectives.

    La Commedia in palcoscenico. Appunti su una ricerca da fare Dante e l’arte 1, 2014 67-84 La Commedia in palcoscenico. Appunti su una ricerca da fare Marzia Pieri Università di Siena [email protected] Riassunto Da circa due secoli la Divina Commedia è fatta oggetto, in Italia, di letture teatralizzate e di vere e proprie riduzioni drammaturgiche, che hanno raggiunto vaste masse di spet- tatori, e la cui popolarità non accenna ancora oggi ad esaurirsi. Il fenomeno delle “dan- tate” – che non conosce equivalenti in altre culture europee – accompagna l’avventura risorgimentale per la conquista dell’indipendenza, ed è legato alla tradizione italiana del grande mattatore romantico: a partire da Gustavo Modena (l’attore mazziniano che intende portare Dante al popolo come veicolo di emancipazione politica), i grandi guitti italiani romantici, naturalistici e poi novecenteschi (di avanguardia o di “tradizione”) hanno continuato a recitare il poema, costruendo, per via performativa, una peculiare ecdotica, ancora tutta da studiare. Le celebrazioni dantesche del centenario del 1865, in una Firenze appena consacrata capitale del Regno d’Italia, segnano un acme di questa fortuna festiva e teatrale. Parole chiave: Divina Commedia, Risorgimento, Recital, Gustavo Modena, Roberto Benigni, Firenze capitale, cinema muto. Abstract For the last two centuries in Italy, the Divine Comedy has been made subject of dramati- zed readings and proper dramatic reductions that have reached the bulk of the audience, and whose popularity doesn’t yet show any sign of exhaustion. The phenomenon of the ‘dantate’ – with no equivalent in other European cultures – accompanies the risorgimen- tale adventure for the sake of gaining independence.

Due to the defeat of their client, Mussolini, in WW II, the project was never realized and became one of the best known unbuilt modern projects. Through the use of advanced computer graphics technology, an attempt has been made to simulate a walk-through experience of light and materials inside this unbuilt monument. This animated representation revealed two of the important spatial characters embedded in the design of this building: a constant oscillation of dark and light as well as that of closed and open. __________________________________________________________________________________________ Keywords: Danteum, Terragni, Lingeri, Radiance 3.

  • New Evidence on the Origin of the Influence of Nietzsche and of the Idea of Immanent
    fig. 1 G. de Chirico, Scatola di cerini e sigarette, ca 1904-1906 13 New Evidence on the Origin of the Influence of Nietzsche and of the Idea of Immanent Myth in Giorgio de Chirico: Mavìlis, Palamàs and the Early XX Century Athens Literary Scene Fabio Benzi There have been many attempts at identifying an influence of the Greek milieu on the young Gior- gio de Chirico. From his birth (1888) to his late adolescence, the artist lived in Greece, in Volos and especially Athens, until he moved to Munich in October 1906. So, he spent the first eighteen years of life – undoubtedly a formative moment for any young intellectual – mostly in Athens, where he also completed his first artistic studies in the Academy of Fine Arts of the Polytechnic School. As might be expected, research aimed at contextualizing and furthering the knowledge of pos- sible Hellenic influences on de Chirico’s artistic activity has focused so far on the specific analysis of the local painting scene, although with little or less than significant results. To be sure, we are not aware of any extant early painting from his Greek period, except for a negligible, small still life painted on cardboard, depicting a box of matches with a lit cigarette leaning against it (fig. 1); the verso shows an earlier copy of a detail of a chromolithography by Bel- gian painter Jan van Beers (Lier, 27 March 1852-Fay- aux-Loges, 17 November 1927), which we have iden- tified here (figs. 2, 3).1 If this copy is an example of the nearly photographic unyielding adherence by a young artist who might have not yet attended the academy, the small oil is actually a genre exercise, probably painted while de Chirico was still a student.

  • Architectural Research in Sweden After Le Corbusier's Projects
    DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.4995/LC2015.2015.893 Experimenting with prototypes: architectural research in Sweden after Le Corbusier’s projects I. Campo-Ruiz Escuela Técnica Superior de Arquitectura de Madrid, Universidad Politécnica de Madrid Abstract: Le Corbusier’s architectural production throughout the twentieth century served as a reference for subsequent developments in architecture and urban planning in Sweden. Some of the buildings and urban plans subsequently developed in Sweden and influenced by Le Corbusier’s ideas and projects also impacted on the international architectural scene. This research analyses how the study of Le Corbusier’s works affected projects in Sweden from the 1920s to the 1970s and how they also became an international standard. Le Corbusier’s works provided a kind of prototype, with which Swedish architects experimented in alternative ways. During the 1920s, Le Corbusier’s Pavilion de l’Esprit Nouveau and the Stuttgart Weissenhofsiedlung impressed influential Swedish architect, including Uno Åhrén, Gunnar Asplund and Sven Markelius, who later became proponents of modernism in Sweden. The 1930 Stockholm Exhibition marked a breakthrough for functionalism in Sweden. After 1930, urban plans for Stockholm and its suburbs reflected some of Le Corbusier’s ideas, such as the urban plan by Sven Markelius, and Vällingby’s town centre by Leif Reinius and Sven Backström. After 1950, Léonie Geisendorf , Ralph Erskine, Sigurd Lewerentz and Peter Celsing placed considerable emphasis on rough texture in poured concrete. Lewerentz, who admired the works of Le Corbusier, designed the churches of Markuskyrkan in 1956 and St Peter’s in Klippan in 1966, with a wider international impact.

  • When Crisis Becomes Form: Athens As a Paradigm Theophilos Tramboulis and Yorgos Tzirtzilakis
    When Crisis Becomes Form: Athens as a Paradigm Theophilos Tramboulis and Yorgos Tzirtzilakis Documenta 14 in Athens: a glossary Documenta 14 (d14) was an undoubtedly important exhibition which triggered endless debate and controversy that continues today.1 The choice of Athens as a topological paradigm by Adam Szymczyk, an ingenious curator with expected and unexpected virtues, initially fired people’s appetite and enthusiasm. Yet what it ultimately managed to do was demythicize the event itself in a way, as well as demonstrate a series of dangers in the operation of the institution. At the same time it brought to light a series of innate ailments and fantasies of contemporary culture in Greece, which manifested themselves in a distorted and sometimes aggressive fashion. This is not without significance, since it functioned complementarily to—rather than independently of—the exhibition.
