Circle of Di erentiated Poetics

Peter Zumthor once wrote: To build houses like Kaurismäki makes lms – that’s what I would like to do. With Kaurismäki everything is important; he creates his movies by focusing on the characters he treats with utmost a ention and love. They are not polished in a Hollywood-like manner; they do not represent something, but prove to be something in an inevitable daily struggle with their own or other people’s misfortune. Architecture can also be affirmed as a necessity, means of overcoming the daily life, or in Anna Heringer’s words: If the architect perceives the basic needs of humans again, trusts his intuition, develops the project on the model, then designs succeed more coherently again. When an architect (Peter Grundmann) uses relatively simple means to transform an old stable into a cinema, it may be a small step, but a decisive one for the improvement of the living conditions of a community. Similarly, in the project done by Manthey Kula Architects, they have invested all their skill and imagination into building a simple shelter in the Lofoten Islands for travellers to the areas in the Far North. These are the examples of projects in which the authors, having left behind all egoism, devoted all their a ention to their users; learned about their needs, used their intuition and thus revealed the ethics of their actions. Joseph Brodsky once said: … the outskirts are not where the world ends – they are precisely where it begins to unfurl. From our perspective, Chile is situated at the edge of the world, but Brodsky’s words could be applied here, especially concerning architecture. Chile may not have a long history of architecture, but it has been created energetically and impressively, especially in our times, by the activity of a whole range of architects, from Klotz and Pezo Von Ellrichshausen to Aravena. However, the creative sensibility of Smiljan Radić, in an intellectual or emotional sense, may be especially close to us. Through realised artefacts, his personal obsessions and reflections become our own. The beauty of Radić’s written word, however, should not be forgotten. When he writes about one of his constant motifs, the circus tents, he says: In the tents, light becomes structure inflating the enclosure and the world slips through veiles differently from all sides. Turned into shade or murmur, odor or laughter from passing conversations, a bird’s chirping or a muffled sound of rain… The circus is a fiction, a made-up face of reality. Of one of his heroes, Frederick Kiesler, he writes: One could look similarly at photographs of Frederick Kiesler in his workshop, taken while he was working on the models of his ‘Endless House’. The series of photographs of the 1959 model ends or stops with the photograph in which Kiesler triumphantly shows us the shell of his house like the remains of a creature taken from the seabed. A kind of Moby Dick harpooned and finally captured after the obsessive pursuit of a project that has taken up ten years of life of the architect. In all his reflections Radić, who was educated in Venice, shows a deep connection with the European cultural history, from Mantegna to Rossi and Miralles. From a culture completely di erent, distant and foreign, comes Terunobu Fujimori, a historian and author of a very specific poetics, which relates to the deep layers of history and the cultural background of the ancient Japanese empire. His houses, tea pavilions in the air, open a wide eld of experiencing architecture in a tactile and sensory manner. Fujimori opens or closes the circle of diverse poetics, which can enrich and change us. (written by Vera Grimmer)
