Can A Car Wash Damage My Truck?

strategies and performance of design strategies ... and their implementation - by Nanette Cabarrou

Walter Benjamin, "Theses on the Philosophy of History" is the role of history as an angel moving away from something that has stunned. His eyes are staring open, open mouth and outstretched wings. His face is turned toward the past. Where we perceive a chain of events, he sees one single catastrophe which keeps piling wreckage upon wreckage and hurls it at his feet. Blowing from Paradise a hurricane that has caught in his wings with such violence that the angel can no longer close.
This hurricane will inevitably push forward, which gives back, while the pile of debris before him grows to the sky.
This storm is what we we call progress. (More text and pictures in full article)

seems appropriate to establish a relationship between this metaphor and architecture, which is trapped by this, to build such works as consolidate and shape the cities, but with the passage of time as the "data chain" remains to be be preserved as a record of the passage of time but which in turn are confronted with those representing other progress.
architecture is imprisoned by this reality.
other hand is a discipline that is a mediator between art and technology and the difficulty is that these boundaries are blurred as the objectives and attitudes converge.

is difficult to define the scope of the two professions and this has led to much discussion, but it is precisely this difficulty that makes the essence of both disciplines.
If we define the limits within which it develops its action, perhaps we should define the status of occupancy of the architecture, the need to be a "dwelling" which should be supported structurally, that is dependent on a technical condition.

This would be a different situation in relation to art and would lead to the need of having architecture design strategies of the discipline which carry these characteristics.
can be defined to planning strategies and the creative will of a particular object that matches an existing idea, which may be modified during the creative process, but that is what distinguishes a work of architecture or art, otherwise does not fall within this listing is simply a "construction", an object, a painting etc.

in this regard is that these strategies or guiding principles have varied at different periods of history, but have been a constant in the creative development of the architectural work.
could list some of these strategies as a taxonomy "Borges" taking some historical examples.
For example, the Vitruvian man in Greece, the Renaissance of the unhistorical, snorkeling among the ruins to get the inspiration for a new "renaissance" of architecture, archaeological overcoming of the Enlightenment, which should incorporate references hitherto unknown, looking for possible sources for architecture, emphasizing the structural building components.

Then during the period of Romanticism seeks to reconcile the past with the present, impossible task, since technological progress inevitably affects new building types that must account for the new programs.

thus can reach the period of modernity, the semantic crisis of the arts and architecture, a break with the past, "the death of Art", according to Hegel, art was understood as until then ... the loss of the center as a design strategy regulator of different types.
The Vanguards disown the past, trying to break the constraints of "style" of regulating lines.
It will be seen as challenging task despite adverse comments by Gropius, "De Sijl" or "Bauhaus style", will survive through time ...

The Team 10 will define new strategies for design and urban habitat, but without breaking with the legacy of modernity.
critical theories of this period are reflected in utopian and radical solutions are intended as endorsing a new type of society, more egalitarian and equitable.
The "forgotten history" as a compositional strategy, again with different modes of appropriation dehistoricized, from architects to use as a reference instead of ownership.

At one time, some architects will be artificially grouped into categories labeled artificially from the MOMA by Phillip Johnson, validating the different strategies of appropriation of architectural images, a symbol of belonging to the "limbo of the elect."
Since the nineties the phenomenon of "globalization", creates a reality shaped by the dispersion and difference.

incite The new digital tools to find new design strategies that take into account this new reality, a new way of solving the project problem will result in new approaches to architectural object, but as in every period of history were a mere instrument of creation, not guaranteed that the intrinsic value of the work.

Then we will only be valid as a witness of his time these works, whatever their design strategy, have been configured as a valid witness of his time.
