Universal Architecture series edited by Bruno Zevi, No 71 (pp.96)


Born with the computer is a attempt to investigate the effects of the "Revolution" is having on our way of life, especially in reconsidering the place that today occupies the architecture, in technological innovation, media and telecommunications.

Christian Pongratz & Maria Rita Perbellini studying the architects of the generation that is facing on the American scene over the last five years of the twentieth century, narrowing the selection to a small group of architects, American in origin or cultural background, heavily involved in computer architecture.

It is, in fact, designers who have entered the world of architectural research tool when digital was now become part of the landscape of everyday life, affecting their relationship with the computer. Compared to the previous generation, using new technologies only as a design support, the new architects use computers as an engine of evolution and strength generated by applying the complexity of the virtual and built environments. They establish a new relationship with the urban context, no longer conceived as a place of resistance, collision juxtaposition, but as a common social experience, the city is no longer seen only as a built environment, but also as an event that includes the media they do not respect the traditional barrier or any other limitation of space. E 'useless to specify that we are faced with a very experimental phase, in which the approaches and the results are not yet readily identifiable and vary widely.

share the same cultural references the ten groups come to different results, the authors, grouped in two main areas: the architecture of the De-formation and architecture of the In-training. The protagonists were the first architects such as Karl Chu , Greg Lynn, Reiser + Umemoto and Wang As well, a trend is in a purely formal, in which the digital instrument is used to manipulate and deform surfaces, generating systems, topological fluid and malleable, released by the limit of Euclidean geometry. The second, however, is given by architects as Architecture Denari, Diller + Scofidio, Winka Dubbeldam, Marcos Novak, Asymptote Architecture and Thomas Leeser, this line redefines the space through the confrontation between architecture and media, creating physical environments adaptable and tactile and offering seamless integration of information, technology and people that generates hypersurfaces, pouches sensitive without end or limits .

be born when an object or a technique is already part of the landscape features of our lives and our world view of things? This is the question that this book invites us to respond. Actually reaching the end of this path of 96 pages you do not get answers or solutions, and Pongratz Perbellini not want explain nor express an opinion on this variety of ideas and experiments, but want to emphasize one thing only: c 'is a generation of young architects who are looking into new territories.

SUBSTANCE OF THINGS SEPARATE

"Modernity is the one that makes the crisis a failure of aesthetic value and raises [...] aesthetics of rupture and change in this context implies that the aesthetic level represents something very different from both the notions of beauty both to style. "


Rereading this point in the text "Introduction to the IT revolution in architecture I came back to mind a book I read not long ago: "The Architecture of Happiness."


The author of the text, Alain de Botton, believing that the quality of our environment is fundamental to our well-being, questions about the relationship between architecture and happiness. Unlike centuries past, we are aware of the impossibility of finding a measure of absolute beauty and repeats ad infinitum, without taking into account local traditions and sensitivities of its customers. On the other hand, it is also true that certain combinations of shapes, materials and styles can be a source of pleasure and serenity. Alain de Botton uses the tools of philosophy to analyze the connection between architecture and the pursuit of happiness. A very ambitious project and which can not but arouse curiosity, since, even by laymen, with the architecture we have to measure every day, want to buy a house, want to restructure it, you just want to decide whether to visit a city rather than a ' other.
Since the existence of man, civilization and set several things have come, not to mention the customs, fashions and architectural styles. Today, everything is built and it is natural to be spontaneous questions. Category: What we look for in a home, because we prefer one style to another, because what is good for us to others not, who decided that a style should prevail over others, because change our opinion on what we consider beautiful? Each
architecture and 'a product of its time. Tastes change with the culture and the centuries. In the nineteenth century the houses speak of privileges and aristocratic life in the twentieth century of the future with the promise of speed 'and talk about technology ... now what? Or rather what we want to tell us today? But then if tastes change, what is' a well-designed building? We
modern feel that is an embarrassing question, which perhaps can not be answered, since the concept of beauty seems destined to turn fruitless discussions and childish. The creation of the beauty that was once considered the primary task of the architect, is missing from the speeches of professional, becoming a confused private imperative.
The author states that the buildings are not only visual objects without links to concepts that we can then analyze and evaluate, but they talk, and talk about topics that you can easily understand. They talk about democracy and aristocracy, availability and arrogance, host and threat, to participate in the future and nostalgia for the past, send an idea of \u200b\u200bthe psychological and moral attitudes they represent. Essentially, the architecture speaks of the kind of life more suitable to take place within it. He reveals what moods search to awaken and maintain in its inhabitants. We speak of visions of happiness.
say that a building is beautiful reveals more than a mere aesthetic passion, implies an attraction to the particular lifestyle that encourages the building through the roof, door handles, windows, staircases, furniture. If we perceive beauty is a sign that we came across a practical translation of some of our ideas about life.
The momentum appears to be related to an architectural desire to communicate and commemorate, to declare to the world through a different register from the words, the language of objects, and colors of bricks: the ambition to let others know who we are and, with this, to remember it even to ourselves.
We tend to define good when we find an object that contains a concentrated form that lacks the qualities to us in person or, more generally, to our society. We respect a style that can distract us from what we fear and we might wish to bring a style that has in itself the right dosage of the virtues that we possess. The balance that we appreciate the architecture and consecrated by the word "beautiful" means a state that at the psychological level we can describe as mental health or happiness. In the architecture
nothing is bad in itself: just in the wrong place or the wrong size, while the beauty is the daughter of a consistent relationship between the parties.

"The beauty and 'a promise of happiness [...] There are so many styles of beauty as visions of happiness" (Stendhal)
