Abstract:
In the above cited quote, Kevin Roche, a principal associate at Eero Saarinen’s architectural practice in 1957, recalls an early morning discussion about the design of the Trans World Airlines’ (TWA) Flight Center. Roche’s story about Saarinen reminds us that at the beginning of an architectural project, a solution may come from any variety of sources, not least of all from everyday objects. This was certainly the case for Saarinen, who found the seed for his design of the structural shells of the TWA Flight Center in the rind of a grapefruit. Despite its seeming novelty, Saarinen is not unique in his approach to the generation of architectural form with models; the Greek-French composer, architect and engineer Iannis Xenakis, who while working with Le Corbusier in 1957, used strings and thick wire to design the hyperbolic shell for their Philips Pavilion at the 1958 Brussels Expo. That a model will play a defining role in an architect’s approach to structural design is also demonstrated by the ‘spherical solution’ that Jørn Utzon discovered while stacking models of his Sydney Opera House’s shell roofs. These explorations with the expression of structure emerged at a time when a new generation of designers, including Eduardo Torroja, Pier Luigi Nervi and Felix Candela, had realised a handful of buildings using models to study and test structural form.

In 1948, a unanimous jury awarded the $40,000 first prize in the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial Competition to a design team headed by Finnish-American architect Eero Saarinen. Competitors had been charged with memorializing Thomas Jefferson, his Louisiana Purchase, and the expansion of the American nation by creating a national park and monument on the West bank of the Mississippi River at St. Louis.

Abstract:
<p>El presente artículo estudia los antecedentes de la primera exposición dedicada al diseño de mobiliario moderno en América organizada en el MoMA en 1941. Se constata que la gran mayoría de los diseños premiados en el concurso previo a la exposición fueron elaborados por jóvenes arquitectos, ya que eran los únicos que estaban al día de las tendencias modernas derivadas de la Bauhaus o del diseño escandinavo. Tanto el organizador, Eliot Noyes, como los premiados, Eero Saarinen y Charles Eames, despuntaron tras la guerra mundial como diseñadores de sobresaliente trayectoria profesional. Por último, resulta de interés comprobar el papel que llegaron a alcanzar los prototipos y maquetas a escala en los procesos de diseño de mobiliario.</p>

Abstract:
En 1941 Eero Saarinen y Charles Eames ganaron los primeros premios en el concurso de mobiliario moderno promovido por el MoMA. Sus diseños de sillas y butacas de madera laminada fueron aclamados por la crítica especializada; sin embargo, la entrada de los Estado Unidos en la Segunda Guerra Mundial impidió el posterior desarrollo de los prototipos y modelos a escala premiados. En 1947 el Museo volvió a convocar un nuevo concurso, orientado en esta ocasión a promover un mobiliario adecuado a las nuevas condiciones de la vida doméstica en la época de posguerra. La exposición en 1950 de los prototipos premiados, junto a otros de calidad indudable, tendr´ía una gran repercusión en el diseño de mobiliario durante la década de los cincuenta, contribuyendo a forjar el imaginario de lo que solemos conocer como el American Way of Life.

Abstract:
Nello studio delle trasformazioni architettoniche e urbane che incidono sul tessuto di Manhattan nel corso del Novecento, la Avenue offre una dimensione privilegiata per indagare il ruolo di tali processi nel riorganizzare gerarchie, ridefinire rapporti, e redistribuire valori – non solo economici - tra le maglie della griglia. Il presente lavoro di tesi si propone di ricostruire la storia e riflettere sulle dinamiche di trasformazione di un settore urbano nel cuore del Central Business District di Midtown, che comprende isolati e architetture con diretto affaccio su un'asse: la Sixth Avenue. Definita da Robert Stern come la strada più rappresentativa dell'urbanistica moderna in territorio americano, la Sesta, in particolare il tratto nord che attraversa Midtown, compreso tra 40th e 59th strada su cui si concentra la tesi, è una antologia che raccoglie immaginari e piani urbani, molti dei quali rimasti sulla carta, elaborati in continuità con un dibattito erede del New Deal e degli anni di guerra, e progetti di speculative skyscrapers, costruiti come estensione del distretto commerciale negli anni del boom. Concentrandosi sul periodo compreso tra gli anni Quaranta fino ai primi anni Sessanta, il caso studio della Sixth Avenue permette di indagare la confluenza di politiche, capitali e pianificazione urbana, tra gli anni di guerra e i primi anni della Guerra Fredda, con uno sguardo rivolto agli interessi immobiliari nell'area di Midtown e alla complessa rete di soggetti pubblici, semi-pubblici e privati che prende parte ai processi decisionali nella produzione dello spazio urbano. L'arco temporale adottato nella tesi riflette quindi una scelta di carattere interpretativo, che ha come primo obiettivo l'esplorazione di continuità e discontinuità tra gli anni successivi al New Deal e il periodo postbellico, attraverso la lettura di immaginari, piani e cantieri che intervengono nella progettazione della città alla scala urbana. Nel lavoro di tesi si pone una speciale attenzione alle resistenze e ai cambiamenti di valori e di contenuti nel dibattito intorno alla trasformazione della Avenue, abbracciando una tesi storiografica che interpreta la Seconda Guerra Mondiale non come una parentesi chiusa, ma piuttosto come un acceleratore di processi anche per la teoria e la pratica architettonica. Attraverso un incrocio e confronto tra fonti di diversa natura e consistenza il tentativo della tesi è di costruire una prima storia urbana sulla nascita della Avenue of the Americas, volta a colmare una lacuna su una sezione della città ancora poco esplorata dalla storiografia di settore. Inserendosi tra gli studi sull'architettura e l'urbanistica sulla città nordamericana del Ventesimo secolo, con riferimento al caso newyorkese, il lavoro si colloca in una dimensione intermedia tra lo studio della pianificazione e le indagini sul costruito: la tesi si sforza di connettere la produzione di immaginari, le strategie patrimoniali, la progettazione architettonica e la produzione normativa, con una specifica attenzione al rapporto tra la scala della città e quello dell’indagine sulle architetture, anche autoriali, che in quel contesto si sono costruite.

Abstract:
The American Institute of Architects ranks Columbus, Indiana, a small city of 44,000 people, sixth among American cities for the quality of its architectural design and innovation. The community’s total of over 70 excellent modern and post-modern buildings are a result of highly ambitious public and private patronage of design excellence. However, no document explains how just a few individuals were responsible for this extraordinary achievement. This graduate thesis will focus on those individuals. In addition to documenting the involvement of J. Irwin Miller, an industrialist known for his local and national leadership, this thesis will explore the critical, yet often uncredited, role that Eero Saarinen, one of the nation’s most distinguished architects, played in this achievement.
