Full textA House projected by Vilanova Artigas for a physician and his family in Curitiba in 1949 receives very little attention in the publications as well as being strange that it never commented on by its creator. The modernist concrete and glass box surpasses barriers of time. It was not demolished like the other six in the native land of Artigas. Its design, six decades later, still validates the discourse of the young communist architect and translates his theoretical discourses and temerity, and at the same time reveals his dominance over the technique at that time, always together with the kindnesses that the architect proposes for the homes he builds, and in this case, a whisper of knowledge of the manner of living in Paraná. Simple and regional materials that are easily executed still remain whole, conserving at any price the magic of light and color. The House that was born during a bourgeois period of the city, and at the same time, Artigas projected his second house in São Paulo. If it was a huge experiment it worked out, and we may easily see in it some seeds launched into the future that were transformed into paradigms for a type of architecture, not from Curitiba or São Paulo, but truly Brazilian. The Bettega House, restored in 2004, is the object of this study.

Full textJoão Batista Vilanova Artigas (1915-1985) graduated as an architect-engineer in 1937, designing until the 1960s mostly single-family houses in the city of São Paulo. Only thereafter did he have the opportunity to design and construct public buildings, such as clubs, hospitals, universities, stations, etc. Single-family houses, with one or two floors, located in the cite jardin areas of São Paulo, lie on limited lands and are strongly restricted by urbanistic regulation. Artigas turned his starting point as a house architect into a virtue and converted the act of designing habitats into an experimental laboratory. Consequently he ended up mixing a wide range of spatial, constructive and distribution solutions, making his residences emblematic works of art and constituents of a clear speech on the relationship between house and city. The main objective of this dissertation is the consolidation of the house paradigm and formation of types that would soon be applied on projects of collective dimensions and public buildings, works which would dominate the mature architect\'s agenda until the end of his productions. It is also the opportunity to reflect about the house, the public building and its relations with cities and the urbanity that arises. This dissertation also proposes understanding the change of scale and conservation of meanings and values as an amalgam that gives unity to Artigas production.

Full textAiming to demonstrate an understanding of the preservation of modern architecture as cultural heritage, the work focused on the study of a group of modern architecture residential works, built in São Paulo from the 1950\'s until the mid-1970\'s, which were intervened starting from the 1990\'s. Such interventions are the results of contemporary architectural projects that considered the existing buildings as architectural cultural heritage, even if the buildings were not considered so by official agencies (municipal, state, and federal). The research, when examining some concrete examples (specific projects), reflected a disciplinary field of expertise of the architect, which has grown over the past two decades: the intervention in existing buildings, aiming at their renovation, consolidation, or restoration. In order to enable the necessary foundation to contextualize the work and the performed analyses was possible to verify the consolidation process of modern paulista architecture. This was done either through its historiography or through studies that characterize it a cultural heritage, highlighting the specifics for protection, conservation, and intervention, besides examining their relationships with existing theoretical and methodological criteria. Through these assumptions, we analyzed - with the help of diagrams, technical drawings, and photos - three iconic houses of modern paulista architecture: Olga Baeta Residence, Mario Masetti Residence and Fernando Millan Residence. The first residence was designed by Vilanova Artigas in 1957 and the other two by Paul Mendes da Rocha in 1969 and 1970, respectively. We aimed to emphasize not only their importance as Cultural Property, but to identify technical and operational tools directly related to the preservation field and evaluate their results.

Full textKnown for his excellence as a bibliophile, Louis bâtard de Bourbon was also close to Louis XI, whose illegitimate daughter he married. Having attained a station well above that which his birth reserved for him, he and Jeanne batârde de France acquired, after 1465 and over a period of some twenty years, a series of works meant to assert the rank and power of this new princely couple. The object of the present work has been first to reconstitute this corpus, consisting of a tapestry, a painted panel, several illuminated manuscripts and architectural commissions and then to study it in depth in order to shed light on the interconnections between the commissions, the social network, the career of an officer attached to the throne of France and the historical events likely to have influenced the choice of works or of models to which these were expected to refer. This body of work has been studied as a whole without regard for the usual disciplinary separations and with an eye to defining as precisely as possible the meanings and functions of the works, thereby enriching the traditional stylistic approaches. This study then goes on to show how the couple assimilated the values of the monarchy, under what circumstances and to what ends. This examination of the larger context of creation has brought to light the unique role in Louis XI’s political strategy played by this nobleman as well as by his wife, whose long neglected role sheds new light on the exchanges between the works and the artists who participated in this network

Full textMy first encounter with a begging person led me to spend five years investigating the new situation regarding begging and giving in Sweden. The premise is that every-day actions and reactions to another person can be made visible through aesthetics with ethical underpinnings. My investigation takes place mainly in the urban landscape and in the media. The images always constitute the point of departure for the reasoning and for the staged works. Images that separate as well as connect bodies. Which images are at play in the social choreography of begging and giving? In this context, how can images be activated in new ways? How can new images be generated? Begging is a call to social interaction, and regardless of whether the giver interacts socially with the begging person on the street, the giver is implicated in the asymmetrical value systems of the European Union. In my first staged work I hire a professional market researcher to find out how a beggar in Sweden should behave to be successful. This becomes a film that I then show opposite another film in which begging people talk about how givers give. This is followed by a number of staged works and an interdisciplinary theoretical discussion involving, among others, Judith Butler, Sara Ahmed, and Hannah Arendt, as well as a number of artistic works concerning how images – and bodily actions – are linked to the social image and the body politics. The arrangement of the choirs in the staged work The Chorus of Begging and The Chorus of Giving, indicates a space for social interaction and thus demonstrates a different order that demands different actions in terms of language, movement, and attitude toward each other. It’s a social choreography: when the choirs rehearsed and sung together a political form emerged. My hope is to make visible a space for action between the begging and the giving that can be used for continued ethical negotiations and new staged works.

Full textLocated in the town of Nieu Bethesda in the Karoo desert, the Owl House is a fascinating heritage museum that was once the home to outsider artist, Helen Martins. Much work has been created about the eccentric Helen Martins and her unusual home, and appears in the form of books, films, music and plays. The content of these works follow a similar pattern, and it is the aim of this research and film to explore a less literal interpretation of the Owl House, and its creators, Helen Martins and Koos Malgas. The Owl House is re-imagined through the lens of an experimental essay film, juxtaposing footage of the creative eastern imagery of the Owl House (in South Africa) with actual footage of the east (India, Thailand and Laos). In exploring these binaries, an investigation of theory of the landscape, home, mobility and hermeneutics takes place. Furthermore, these theories and concepts are looked at in relation to the politics of an apartheid, and later, a democratic South Africa. The Owl House is therefore analysed as the collaboration of the white, female Helen Martins, and the coloured, male Koos Malgas.

The Purposes of this study are to understand how the winning factors on Men’s Artistic Gymnastics of Pommel Horse influence the Final Scores, and to discuss the exercise of Bonus Points of Chinese Taipei gymnasts in Apparatus Finals. Subjects of this study were eighty-seven gymnasts who participate in qualification of the Pommel Horse. A multiple statistical analysis and the measures of literature research were used in this study. After discussion, the conclusions of this study show as follows: 1) The judges’ evaluation shows its accuracy with Reliability, Validity and Objectivity. 2) Most of the Start Values and execution deduction scores are higher to consistence and steady. 3) Different Start Values and execution deduction scores show the significant differences toward final scores. Higher Start Values and lower execution deduction scores make high final scores. 4) The execution deduction scores have the best explanation. The explanation of the execution deduction scores is better than Start Values; therefore, the execution deduction scores took the advantage in the qualification. 5) In the winning factors of Gymnastics: 「Difficulty, Originality, Insurance, Elegance」, the exercise of the Pommel Horse taken by two Chinese Taipei gymnasts reach the requirement of 「Difficulty」. However, they should reinforce their performances in「Insurance and Elegance」. The gymnast, Lin Hsiung-wai developed the whole area of the elements and his movement arrangement reach the requirement of 「Originality」. According to what mentioned above, the concrete suggestions are as follows: 1) The main training points of the coach, besides grasp the rules, should put emphasize on the beauty of the movement. 2) The development of the gymnasts’ routine should head for the trends of diversity.

Full textThe inequality between sexes has been present in western society since its formation. It has also been a topic of discussion and conflict during the last centuries. However, it was only during the second half of the 20th century (during the second wave of feminism) that the issue of women's discrimination became a relevant issue in society, changing social paradigms in a profound way. The art world wasn't imune to these changes and was deeply affected by feminism and its expression in artistic production and theory. The first part of the thesis presents a theoretical framework that allows for a deeper understanding of feminism's impact on the art world and the changes on the secondary position attributed to women. The second part focuses on the current situation of the Portuguese contemporary art world. Taking the theoretical reflexion presented in the first part of the thesis as a background, as well as a comparison between Portuguese and Western statistical data, this work presents quantitative and qualitative data that allows us to understand that, despite improvements over the last decades, women artists are still a minority. Through the analysis of the data of several institutions, as well as interviews, this thesis aims to present a broad and current perspective as well as a reflection on the issue of women’s discrimination and on how it can be fought.

Full textDecorative environments where all the arts harmonize, integrated in an almost oblivion. Some environments of Romanticism studied by us have arrived intact to this day. Unfortunately, others were victims of sharing between heirs and the unsustainable maintenance of large houses. We strongly emphasize the inevitable reform in the nineteenth century environments because the change of habits made essential new thematic compartments and multifaceted objects to decorate them. Respect for romantic environments was not what was expected, because the fleeting evolution of taste, coupled with the contingencies of consumer society, wiped out its authenticity. The fact of being revivalists took away their antiquity. Let us try to understand it through the romantic environments presented, because it is time to look better at this "new style" still considered of doubtful taste and whose inspiration came from the royal environments. In the north of Portugal, there are no shortage of houses with environments typical of this period. It is a pity that the value of history is not given to a Romanticism that remains alive. The eighteenth-century arts will seek influences at all times, recreating the most remote past, with the artistic and socio-cultural knowledge, and already industrialized time. We are interested in focusing on this learning that has changed the course of being, living and feeling in a journey back in time to the Middle Ages. Rethinking existence, withdrawing and accumulating previous knowledge, the nineteenth century evolved as the abstract of the arts and sciences with its own interpretation. We understand this not only in the context of being the great era of changes and inventions, but almost isolated, at the mercy of the special looks and feelings of each individual inserted in a determined family and social layer. The region can make the difference and not by chance we look at environments of noble houses of the North of Portugal. It seems obvious to us that the region above the river Douro, historically more closed and isolated in its private life – not forgetting the entire area of Douro and Beira Alta – has better preserved ancestral values and traditions within its noble families. By the speed of fashions, circulation of goods and families, adhesion to foreigners and foreigners, centralization of power, Lisbon ended up being penalized for intact eighteenth-century environments. The decoration of Ajuda National Palace is probably the only one of its kind, since even the decoration of Tuileries Palace was destroyed by the commune of Paris in 1871. Without forgetting the Palácio da Pena, considered in 2007 one of the wonders of Portugal, which attests to the current popularity of these environments. In civil houses, environments remain open to study, not distancing themselves from the behavior, taste and living of a society sensitive to the most varied type of artistic manifestations. The houses presented differ between rural and urban, and are mixed in some cases, as we confirm that "there is no urban family as there is no rural family". The noble houses of Guimarães have some highlight in our dissertation because, initially, we think about exclusive Vimaranenses environments. The abundance, originality and historical-artistic richness of these examples of the north Douro river have changed our course, which has spread to other localities. Our dissertation serves as a tribute to the romantic movement and of praise to those who respect its memory, continuing to love the environments of these houses, erected or only intervened in the Eighth, which we find described in the novels and opinions of notable writers such as António Augusto Teixeira de Vasconcellos, Camilo Castello Branco, Eça de Queiroz. It is they who perpetuate the ways, people, experiences, prejudices (and concepts), scents of times where the past was never lost. Starting from the general, and of a comprehensive characterization, we highlight six of the examples that seemed relevant to us in terms of romantic decorative environments in noble houses that could exert a relevant influence at the time. In a more specific and strict plan, we study environments of other houses, dispersed by the North of Portugal, to which we make reference. In addition to the interest of these estates, characteristic of the collection of noble and bourgeois noble families (some of which have already been dismantled), the description of goods – which transports us to the reality of the great houses of the Court Nobility, appealing to a nobility in since the second half of the 18th century. After searching for noble houses, we highlight both preserved and recently dismantled environments with shares. We consider the houses of Villar d` Allen and Visconde da Gândara (in Porto), Carmo, S. Cipriano and Sezim (in Guimarães) and Boavista (in Ponte da Barca), as examples to be highlighted. Villar d` Allen, although initially remodeled by John Allen, was his son, Alfredo Allen, 1st Viscount of Villar d' Allen, who transformed it into the living museum of curiosities linked to the family and naturalia, which remains. Of all those studied, Villar d' Allen is perhaps one of the most romantic in that it preserves all memories and interventions. In the neoclassical house, erected in Eastern Porto by the 1st Viscount of Gândara, already exhibited a central heating by means of boilers in an underground floor. Casa do Carmo, attached to the family of the counts of Margaride in Guimarães, and which received the last kings of Portugal, is stripped of its filling, which has been dispersed by the family. (Unfortunately, it has undergone recent works that have distorted its interiors.) In the same county, Nicola Bigaglia (1841-1908) was called to intervene in S. Cipriano after designing the house which is now known as Museum of Quinta de Santiago, in Leça da Palmeira. Primitive medievalism added decorative and architectural aesthetics already rooted in a mature romanticism that influenced the first decades of the twentieth century. We compare it to Quinta de Pindela, whose house was last restored and enlarged in 1885, operated by the 2nd Viscount of Pindella, personal friend of João Santiago (lord of S. Cipriano) and father of D. Júlia do Carmo, married with a son of the 1st Count of Margaride who remodeled the house to receive the Majesties. Also in Guimarães, we distinguish the possible contribution of the taste of Auguste Roquemont (1804-1852) in the wallpaper of the halls of the House of Sezim. This artist spent great stays in that locality, leaving his mark by several dwellings that he visited like friend and bastard son of a German prince. The ambiences of the Casa da Boavista, in Ponte da Barca, were conceived at the end of the 19th century by Bento Malheiro Pereira Pita de Vasconcelos, 4th Viscount of Carreira. It have an English taste, related to Villar d' Allen, and its characteristic is the abundant light coming from the wide openings that allow the conviviality with nature. The inspiration came from the Casa da Carreira, the family Távora of Viana do Castelo, now the seat of the Town Hall. The eighteenth-century works were carried out simultaneously, and the owners appealed to the same craftsmen. In this dissertation it is important to focus on the decorative arts in the private domain that circulated from the interiors to the exteriors with some elements that remained from time to time in the Middle Ages. They were produced in nineteenth-century in Portugal and, even earlier in Europe, because our national reality is always a late reflection of European trends. Although, at this time, there were many cases in which the fashion dictated in Paris was soon followed in Portugal. Exposing well, in the aesthetic sense and in the will to retain the gaze, was not significant. Exposing a lot became an ideal – as in Villar d` Allen, where became a small museum of intimate pieces and living memories, in honor of John Allen. In the gardens, we find houses of “fresco” that fit into the landscape architecture of forms sometimes geometric or presumably spontaneous. We highlight the 17th century labyrinthine gardens of the Paço de S. Cipriano, adapted to the romantic taste. Its Butter House is even of Renaissance architecture. It was transported to the seventeenth century tank, with lion-shaped spiders, in the early twentieth century. In the shrubs or tree species themselves, caves-like hideouts were served exotic drinks such as tea, coffee, and chocolate. The gardens and woods of Villar d` Allen, formed from several farms, are more related to the romantic spirit with sinuous, almost savage paths punctuated by architectural elements. Sezim gardens are closer to this English ideal where nature facilities, in nature, benefit from greater freedom. Among the exotic species are the “cameleiras” or “japoneiras” brought to Portugal from the Discoveries (first from China, after Japan) that resulted in species with Portuguese names, as in Villar d' Allen. In terms of the archives in the houses covered, we are faced with a lacuna situation. We can not say that documentation is scarce, since most of the houses studied were fortunate to remain within the same families and to be estimated. In the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, there was a real concern to accumulate memories and documents (letters, postcards, receipts, notebooks) and, from these disorganized files, dispersed key documents. We conclude that everything is interconnected. Artists and performers circulated, appropriating public examples and transposing them into private individuals. The owners of the houses had relations with exchange of knowledge. Unfortunately, most of the studies that have been carried out and which are to be concluded do not fit the time and space of this dissertation, so we will limit ourselves to an image of artistic taste (or tastes) and ideals that underline the social and cultural function of these environments.
