18 Focus Jena, A-lan & Ada Analyze How Palacio Real has changed/become a historical and/or cultural symbol for Madrid

19 Cultural Memory Jena, A-lan & Ada We are interested in how the palacio evokes cultural memory for the people of Spain. Furthermore, we are interested in its historical significance as both a modern symbol of Spanish life, as well as a reminder of Spain s rich cultural history. We will do this by analyzing the functions, forms and behaviors of this site as well as the art pieces (monuments, sculptures, etc.) the park houses.

23 Israel, Some Place Like Home Intuitions Our sense of self and sense of environment are intimately and profoundly related Seeds of this connection come from early childhood Sense of self-place connection evolves over our lives shaped by physical reality and emotional meaning We can become conscious of its personal emotional meaning Consciousness can help us create fulfilling places Designers have responsibility to us Self-aware designers are better Week 6: Week 6: 15 February 23

24 Israel, Some Place Like Home on travel we feel a thrill when we travel and encounter a place that t is new, different, unexplained. as in childhood, we again perceive the world around us as an entirety, as a sensory experience of unlabeled, unfamiliar sights, sounds, and smells, which we can absorb in an unedited way not just as signs or symbols. Week 6: Week 6: 15 February 24

31 Museu d Art Contemporani de Barcelona: Sarahí, Alexei, Marta Alexei: Before trip, Santy had never heard of Museu totally surprised, enamored, when he first saw it. he normally enjoys modern architecture, but what he especially liked about the building was the contrast to its surroundings museum, representing new, on one side of plaza, old convent across way thought architecture of the museum perfectly complemented its location within old Gothic neighborhood h sun creating a different building at every moment of the day. Sarahí: host mom hates building. Although fan of modern art, thinks building bleak and sterile does not like how it is so different from the surrounding buildings because it is such a historic neighborhood. building reminds her of hospital because it looks so sterile with all the white did concede that style is appropriate for type of museum although over the top. host brother works in film industry museum and especially the plaza is one of the most sought after locations to film movies. building provides a perfect modern backdrop that manages to stay a blank slate even with detail of the ramps and lines through window. contrast between the museum and surroundings makes for an even better image for the camera. transcript, initial coding and Week memos: 6: 15 February divisive building we see other 31 divisive buildings in Madrid! Function form behavior references;

32 Sketches Marielle: sketch difficult because of angle, so I changed it to be head-on instead of at this angle. However, it loses grand presence of the plaza. many details on buildings of the plaza, especially in the walls and windows hard to show art on the walls of the center building. liked this view because it shows mixed uses tables, benches, homes and shops. Siobhan: photo hides fact that there are different buildings quite well. only way to determine the different buildings is actually looking at the perspectives of the lines at some point the vertical lines are no parallel. sorry I could not have gotten more detail into the sketch, but that is the point of the sketch. with a relatively simple building structure, the beauty lies in the embellishments and details details, which Rybczynski would call civic art, make me feel there s a void in architecture today. Drawing and studying the photo made me appreciate plaza a bit more. Chloe: most interesting thing was that it was not necessarily the architecture, the statue in the middle, or even the streetlamps, that caught my attention. most prominent feature was empty space feel the enormity of the space because the statue, which is in the center of the plaza, looks to be miles away. different patterns of stonework on the ground within the plaza which I tried (a little awkwardly) to incorporate I would have really enjoyed with fountains, shrubbery, etc. or more people Week 6: 15 February 32

33 Formal Symbolic Model Ale, Lauren comments and arrow description of relationships among functions, related forms, behaviors Week 6: 15 February 33

34 Architectural Critic: Siobhan, Marielle, Chloe Plaza Mayor? en Madrid? asked Santy because one might easily forget there is more than one. When probed, yes, Plaza Mayor in Madrid, Santy brought to attention that almost every city in Spain has a plaza mayor. What distinguishes the plaza madrileña from the others? Nada mucho, apparently. Upon reaching the plaza, vast space (at least in winter) grabs attention not the enclosing structures, pretty lamps or statue of Felipe III. plaza succeeds in defining and creating a physical parcel of space, but emotional attachment, sense of importance or significance, not apparent. two buildings centered among viviendas and shops and seem grander because of torres, clocks, flags, a mural and obvious entrances. Buildings most readable and seem to have been governmental at one time, but no liveliness no lights, no people entering and leaving. Movement in space surrounding the buildings heightened this isolation, rendering them useless. Week 6: 15 February 34

35 Rybczynski: Sarahí, Alexei, Marta While considering the Museu d Art Contemporani de Barcelona in terms of Rybczynski s s theory of the city placement of the museum seems to fit in with the old Spanish model of city planning that has been around since the Laws of the Indies. At the time, important public buildings always congregated around a central plaza, surrounding by residential neighborhood. h museum built on plaza lined on other side by convent, connected to, but still apart from, residential streets. City Beautiful movement during the early 1900s, in which cities concentrated on building civic works, such as impressive squares and stately public buildings, which would provide the chief urban and architectural identity of the city.city chose to construct new building that would reflect its purpose and stand out from its surrounding. striking and distinctive look, MACBA a new signature landmark of the neighborhood and the city. lack of landscaping around the building. a chief difference between European and American cities Week 6: 15 February 35

36 Rybczynski: Siobhan, Marielle, Chloe plaza an orderly rectangle among disorganized networks of streets. From the aerial view, the plaza looks transported into the middle of old Madrid. We know the plaza is really old and the streets were built around it, but they do not demonstrate a strictly grid-like pattern. The area around the plaza fits the European tradition of apartments without open land. The plaza does not mix nature and development. plaza predates tradition of American plazas. Combination of practical and organic? Use of space? Landscaping? Domesticity? Large-scale urban intervention? Week 6: 15 February 36
