Academic literature on the topic 'Arturo Soria y Mata'

ResumenEntre 1881 y 1883 Arturo Soria y Mata publicó una serie de artículos de temática urbana en el diario El Progreso en los que exponía los rudimentos de su teoría urbana y esbozaba su propuesta de Ciudad Lineal. En estos primeros escritos de Soria subyace una visión orgánica de los fenómenos urbanos que integra los procesos de consumo de materia y energía necesarios para el desarrollo de la vida urbana en un concepto a la vez único y complejo de ciudad. El desarrollo de esta metáfora orgánica conlleva para Soria y Mata el reconocimiento del metabolismo urbano como lugar de oportunidad y proyecto para la mejora de las condiciones de vida. El paralelismo entre organismo urbano y cuerpo humano es la clave de esta metodología operativa mediante la que el autor concibe avanzados sistemas de abastecimiento, comunicaciones o recogida de deshechos basados en el potencial de las nuevas tecnologías para organizar y mejorar las ciudades de su tiempo. De esta visión nacerá su propuesta definitiva de crecimiento urbano, la Ciudad Lineal, llamada a establecer una red residencial que conectará los núcleos de las ciudades existentes preservados como centros de negocios y disfrute. El pensamiento orgánico de Soria es un antecedente histórico relevante para la consolidación de una ecología urbana. Su estudio y reivindicación aspira a reconciliar los retos y aspiraciones urbanas contemporáneas con un capítulo menospreciado de los fundamentos del urbanismo moderno.AbstractBetween 1881 and 1883, Arturo Soria y Mata published a series of articles on urban issues in the newspaper El Progreso, in which he exposed the roots of his urban theory and outlined his proposal for a Linear City. In these first writings, the organic vision of the urban phenomena developed by Soria integrates the processes of consumption of matter and energy necessary for urban life in a concept of the city that is both unique and complex. The development of this organic metaphor entails the recognition of urban metabolism as an opportunity for improving living conditions. The parallelism between the urban organism and the human body is the key of this operational methodology, through which the author conceives advanced supply, communications or waste collection systems based on the potential of new technologies to organize and improve the cities of his time. It was from this vision that his definitive proposal for urban growth was born, the Linear City, which was fated to establish a residential network that connected the core of the existing cities, preserved as business and leisure centers. Soria’s organic thinking is an important historical precedent to the consolidation of an urban ecology. The purpose of studying and advocating it is to reconcile contemporary urban challenges and aspirations with an underrated chapter of the foundations of modern urban theory.

This article presents an analysis of a collective housing project designed by the architects Emilia Bisquert Santiago, Carmen González Lobo, Jose Miguel de Prada Poole and Ricardo Aroca in the Arturo Soria neighbourhood in Madrid in 1975. This project is noteworthy for its architects’ preference for designing flexible and adaptable spaces, both in the interior distribution of the homes spaces and in the common spaces of the building itself. Their main aim was to eliminate the rigid spatial segregation that was a dominant feature of Spanish housing estates promoted by the OSH (House Building Union) during the Franco Regime (1939–1975). To understand this idea, this research proposes a comparison between a Housing Estate promoted by the OSH in 1956 and the Arturo Soria building designed in 1975. The article explains and analyses the different architectural strategies that the architects proposed to achieve that flexibility and adaptability: a permanent structural ‘infrastructure,’ an intermediate architectural system adaptable over time, and finally, a range of possible configurations for the individual dwelling. Another important issue is the relationship between the construction system and alternative development of both horizontal and vertical living space. Explaining this relationship could help shape the habitability of future homes, the development of a sense of community, the possibility of designing for tenancies of different lengths and needs and the management of constant changes to a collective society.

<div data-canvas-width="297.494060630767">Hace cien años, en octubre de 1920 aparece en París el primer número de la revista<em> L’Esprit Nouveau</em>, donde Charles-Édouard Jeanneret toma por vez primera el nombre de Le Corbusier, que no le abandonaría nunca. Pocas semanas después, el 6 de noviembre, fallece en Madrid Arturo Soria, creador e impulsor de la Ciudad Lineal. Ambos centenarios pueden ponerse en relación intencionada. Una relación entre dos genios del urbanismo: Soria y Le Corbusier, que venía por lo menos de 1913-15, cuando éste, preparando su estudio La Construction des Villes, calca con trazo decidido una serie de dibujos de la Ciudad Lineal de Madrid y que se prolongaría durante casi cincuenta años, hasta 1958-60, cuando defiende ante André Malraux las Cités Linéaires en lo que probablemente sean sus últimas propuestas sobre Paris. A ese medio siglo de relación entre Le Corbusier y la Ciudad Lineal vamos a dedicar el presente estudio.</div>

Two projects of the Linear City, which appeared at the beginning of the 20th century, in the United States, regardless of the project implemented earlier in Spain by Arturo Soria, are described. The technical and town-planning features of the Roadtown project by Edgar Chembless and the social ideas underlying it are given. The reasons for the failure of this project, as well as similar projects that appeared later, are analyzed. The history of the project of Milo Hastings and his idea of a linear concentration of dwellings in the city are given. Although this project was also not implemented, the reasons why its town-planning ideas found application in the post-war construction of the American suburb and social ideas in the New Deal of President Franklin Roosevelt are shown.

As formações campestres e savânicas no Domínio da Mata Atlântica na região metropolitana de São Paulo são bem documentados mas ainda pouco estudados. O Parque Estadual do Jaraguá (PEJ), localizado na cidade de São Paulo, possui uma formação campestre em sua porção mais alta, entre 905 a 1125 m de altitude, vulnerável à perturbação antrópica. O primeiro levantamento florístico realizado no PEJ constatou 55 espécies arbustivo-arbóreas na formação denominada “campos”, sugerindo mais estudos na área. A recente descoberta da presença no PEJ de populações de uma espécie rara, Baccharis trineura Soria & Zardini, motivou este novo levantamento da flora vascular, buscando aprofundar a amostragem sobretudo no componente herbáceo-subarbustivo. A lista de espécies foi então comparada com inventários disponíveis de outras áreas com campos e cerrados de topo de morro das proximidades, inseridas no Domínio da Mata Atlântica. O presente estudo buscou ainda investigar se os campos do PEJ têm origem antrópica ou autóctone, e detectar se sua flora é mais relacionada à da Mata Atlântica circundante ou à do Cerrado. Ao longo de um ano, coletas quinzenais foram realizadas nos 37 hectares de campos do PEJ. Este levantamento registrou 242 espécies nativas de 50 famílias vasculares, dentre as quais 112 são típicas de cerrado e 34 são ruderais. A comparação desses dados com as outras listas florísticas mostra que a vegetação campestre do PEJ apresenta 51 espécies em comum com os do Parque Estadual do Juquery, 20 com o Núcleo Curucutu do Parque Estadual da Serra do Mar, 28 com a Estação Ecológica de Santa Bárbara, 16 com a Reserva Biológica de Moji Guaçu e 11 com o Parque das Furnas do Bom Jesus. Os resultados corroboram a suposição de que os campos do PEJ sejam autóctones, pelo contraste do elevado número de espécies nativas com a baixa taxa de espécies ruderais e exóticas, além da presença de espécies ameaçadas ou vulneráveis. O elevado número de espécies típicas da flora do Cerrado e a alta similaridade do PEJ com outras vegetações savânicas já estudadas na região, além do expressivo índice de pirófitas, indicam que a formação campestre do PEJ provavelmente constitua uma área disjunta de cerrado, um notório pirobioma. Uma breve discussão sobre provável natureza relictual essa formação campestre é apresentada.

This article, based upon pedagogical experimentation in development in a master-level architecture studio at the ULB School of Architecture (Brussels), focuses on the concept of a linear city in a metropolitan context. This concept is proposed by the Grand Tetouan (North Morocco) spatial development scheme as a framework to think about the future of this territory. The interest of the concept lies in its being both a descriptive and project-oriented tool, which allows working with students on the intricate relationship between these two moments of urban design. The coastal region has been the subject of a proposal for a “linear garden city” by a follower of Soria y Mata, Hilarión González del Castillo (1929), a project that left traces on the “palimpsest” (Corboz, 1983/2001) of the actual territory. The idea of the linear city, which has been, throughout the 20th century, a recurrent thematic in urban planning theory and practice dealing with the issue of industrial development of the modern city can be, in the specific case of the Grand Tetouan region, re-examined through the lens of tourism as an industry. The exploration is based on an analytical approach by the use of the notion of urban material (Boeri, Lanzani, &amp; Marini, 1993; Viganò, 1999), an approach that creates the conditions of understanding (describing/designing) the existing territory through the mapping of its physical elements, a description that can then be used to develop an analysis of the forms of production of these elements and the complexity of their uses: how the city is, formally and socially, built (Secchi, 1989).
