Para analizar este complejo proceso se ha ensayado un recorrido que sigue los avatares y alternativas que se producen en la incorporación de las ideas que se gestaron en el urbanismo moderno en el Uruguay de la primera mitad del siglo XX. Ideas que se intensifican a partir de los años veinte. A través de una primer parte, se analizan las ideas que transitan los primeros años del urbanismo hasta los años treinta. Este es un período de preconstitución disciplinaria y búsqueda de imágenes urbanas análogas que por afinidad cultural, en general, recurren al repertorio europeo. Es un momento de constitución ciudadana y de su espacio cívico y, para ello, se responde al imaginario colectivo con propuestas urbanas que reflejan las ideas de ciudad presentes en el panorama internacional. Al aplicarse a un territorio sin tensiones sociales, las ideas y propuestas urbanas se presentan como una oportunidad de ensayo para los técnicos extranjeros y nacionales. El mito de la oportunidad que ofrece el Nuevo Mundo hace que un personaje reconocido llegue, casi sin prefigurarlo, a hacer una breve visita por Montevideo. La segunda parte describe al viajero Le Corbusier con sus ideas, sus propuestas sudamericanas y el Plan de Montevideo. La fugaz visita deja huellas indelebles, en el huésped y en sus anfitriones. Los caminos rápidamente se bifurcan pese a eventuales reencuentros. En Le Corbusier, Montevideo implica un punto de inflexión en la serie de planes que va a gestar. En los anfitriones abrazando aun más la bandera de la renovación desplegada antes de la visita, pese a no compartir el plan corbusiano para Montevideo, los impulsa a seguir el proceso de construcción moderna. A partir de la tercera parte, se indaga en el impulso moderno dejado por Le Corbusier, junto a la casi coincidente “celebración del futuro” donde se propone el Plan del Centenario para Montevideo. A partir del plan y su debate, sus consiguientes marchas y contramarchas, se muestra que las ideas modernas al igual que en toda celebración tuvieron momentos de apoteosis y entusiasmo, quedando luego, tan sólo las cenizas y los resplandores de la celebración, materializadas en algunos fragmentos de ideas urbanas. En la cuarta parte se analizan las ideas y propuestas en torno al proyecto urbano de la centralidad capitalina. Marchas y contramarchas, protagonizadas por anfitriones e integrantes del auditorio de Le Corbusier muestran un devenir donde se entrecruza la ciudad moderna, el crecimiento real, con las ideas urbanas que el amplio espectro cultural arquitectónico uruguayo conserva desde su constitución. La quinta parte desarrolla las propuestas estructuradas en torno a la expansión del balneario verificando las ideas de urbanismo que con naturalidad evaden la transposición literal o acrítica y se acondicionan y acomodan al territorio, conservando con intensidad, la esencia del pensamiento moderno. La relación entre la urbanidad y el horizonte marino permite el ensayo de una serie de estrategias proyectuales para la urbanización del borde costero que caracterizan y definen a la rambla montevideana y al conjunto de proyectos balnearios modernos. ABSTRACT In order to analyze this complex process, we have pursued a path that takes into consideration the vicissitudes and alternatives produced in the incorporation of the ideas conceived in modern urbanism in Uruguay in the first half of the twentieth century. These ideas have been intensified since the 1920s. The first part of the thesis analyzes the ideas of the first years of urbanism until the 1930s. This was a period of disciplinary pre-constitution and search of analogous urban images which, due to their cultural affinity, in general, resorted to the European repertoire. It was a moment of citizen constitution and the establishment of its civic space, and for that the collective imagination was responded with urban designs that reflected the ideas of the city, which could also be found in the international scene. As they were applied to a territory without social tensions, the ideas and urban designs were presented as an opportunity for rehearsal to foreign and national technicians. The myth of the opportunity offered by the New World caused the arrival of a well-known character that, almost without foreshadowing it, paid a short visit to Montevideo. The second part describes Le Corbusier, the traveler, with his ideas, his South American schemes and the Plan for Montevideo. His fleeting visit left a deep mark on the guest and on his hosts. The paths rapidly forked despite the sporadic reunions. For Le Corbusier, Montevideo marked a turning point in the series of plans that he would conceive. The hosts, who embraced the flag of renovation raised prior to his arrival, in spite of not sharing Le Corbusier’s plan for Montevideo, were encouraged to follow the process of modern construction. The third part of the thesis explores the modern impulse left by Le Corbusier, as well as the almost coincidental “celebration of the future” in which the Plan for the Centenary of Montevideo was proposed. From the plan and its discussion, its consequent progress and obstacles, it was shown that the modern ideas, as in any other celebration, had its moments of apotheosis and enthusiasm, only remaining the ashes and the glow of the celebration, materialized in some fragments of the urban design ideas. The fourth part discusses the ideas and schemes on the urban project of the centrality of the capital. Progress and obstacles, led by the hosts and the members of the auditorium of Le Corbusier, showed a development in which the modern city and the actual growth merged with the urban design ideas preserved, since its constitution, by the wide spectrum of the Uruguayan architectonic culture. Finally, the fifth part develops the schemes formulated for the expansion of the resort and verifies the ideas of urbanism which naturally avoid the literal or uncritical transposition and adjust and accommodate to the territory, preserving with intensity the essence of modern thought. The relation between urbanity and the marine horizon allowed the rehearsal of a series of design strategies for the urbanization of coastal areas which characterize and define the promenade of Montevideo and the whole set of projects of modern resorts.

La obra fílmica del director francés Jacques Tati podría considerarse como el perfecto reflejo del paradigma edificatorio de mediados del siglo XX en plena posguerra europea, una época ávida de transformaciones de las que el cine supo hacerse eco. Particularmente, el cine de Tati refleja las preocupaciones del ciudadano europeo de posguerra sobre las consecuencias de las masivas construcciones erigidas en sus devastados núcleos urbanos y la puesta en práctica de la ciudad funcional propuesta por la Carta de Atenas (1931). Pero, además, el análisis del cine de Jacques Tati permite un acercamiento a la modernidad desde diversos puntos de vista como la movilidad, el diseño urbano, las nuevas construcciones, los espacios de trabajo en los nuevos distritos terciarios, la vivienda -tradicional, moderna y experimental- o el diseño mobiliario en la posguerra. A través de su alter ego -Monsieur Hulot- Tati interacciona curioso con las nuevas construcciones geométricas de paños neutros y cuestiona su ruptura con la tradición edificatoria francesa, enfatizando la oposición entre el pasado nostálgico y la modernidad de las décadas de los 50 y 60, salpicadas por el consumismo feroz del recién estrenado estado de bienestar. La confrontación funcional, volumétrica, estética e incluso cromática entre ambos mundos construidos –el tradicional y el moderno- invita al espectador a un ejercicio de reflexión y crítica sobre la arquitectura moderna de este período en Europa. En particular, la mirada cinematográfica de Tati se centra en dos conceptos fundamentales. Por una parte, su atención se dirige a la famosa casa mecanicista Le Corbuseriana materializada en la ultra-moderna casa Arpel (Mon Oncle, 1958) y proyectada en la misma época en la que se desarrollaban importantes prototipos de vivienda experimental como la Casa de Futuro de Alison y Peter Smithson o las viviendas de Jean Prouvé. Debe ponerse de manifiesto que la crítica de Jacques Tati no se centraba en la arquitectura moderna en sí misma sino en el empleo erróneo que los usuarios pudieran hacer de ella. Por otro lado, Tati centra su atención en el prisma miesiano a través de los bloques de oficinas que conforman la ciudad de Tativille en Playtime (1967). Se trataba de una gran ciudad moderna construida explícitamente para el rodaje de la película y basada en los casi idénticos tejidos urbanos residenciales y terciarios ya en funcionamiento en las principales capitales europeas y norteamericanas en aquellos años. Tativille funcionaría como una ciudad autónoma disponiendo de diversas instalaciones y con el objetivo de integrarse y consolidarse en la trama urbana parisina. Lamentablemente, su destino al final del rodaje fue bien distinto. En definitiva, el análisis de la producción fílmica de Jacques Tati permite un acercamiento a la arquitectura y al urbanismo modernos de posguerra y al contexto socio-económico que favoreció su crecimiento y expansión. Por ello, su obra constituye una herramienta visual muy útil que aún hoy es consultada y mostrada por su claridad y humor y que invita a los ciudadanos –telespectadores- a participar en un ejercicio crítico arquitectónico hasta entonces reservado a los arquitectos. ABSTRACT The film work of French director Jacques Tati could be considered as the perfect reflection of the mid-20th century European post-war building paradigm, a period of time plenty of transformations perfectly echoed by cinema. In particular, Tati’s film work reflects the European post-war citizen’s concerns about the consequences of massive constructions built in their desvastated urban centres, as well as the development of functional cities proposed by the Athens Charter (1931). But, on top of that, an analysis of Jacques Tati’s cinematography allows for an approach to modernity from different perspectives, such as mobility, urban design, new buildings, working spaces in the new tertiary districts, housing -traditional, modern, and experimental-, or furniture design during the post-war period. Embodied by his alter-ego –Monsieur Hulot,- Tati curiously interacts with the new geometric constructions of neutral facades and questions the break with the French building tradition, highlighting the opposition between the nostalgic past and modernity of the 50s and 60s, affected by the fierce consumerism of the new welfare state. The functional, volumetric, aesthetic and even chromatic confrontation between both built worlds –traditional vs modern- invites the viewer to an exercise of meditation and criticism on the European modern architecture of that period. Tati’s film look is particularly focused on two basic concepts: on the one hand, his attention addresses Le Corbusier’s famous mechanistic house which is materialized in the ultra-modern Arpel house (Mon Oncle, 1958) and designed, in turn, when the development of other important experimental dwelling prototypes like Alison and Peter Smithson’s House of the Future or Jean Prouvé´s houses was taking place. It must be highlighted that Jacques Tati’s criticism was not addressed to modern architecture itself but to the wrong use that citizens could make of it. On the other hand, Tati focuses on the Miesian prism through the office buildings that shape the city of Tativille in Playtime (1967). It was a big, modern city built specifically for the film shooting, and based on the almost identical residential and tertiary urban fabrics already active in the main European and American capitals those years. Tativille would work as an autonomous city, having several facilities at its disposal and with the goal of getting integrated and consolidated into the Parisian urban weave. However, its final use was, unfortunately, quite different. In conclusion, an analysis of Jacques Tati’s film production allows for an approach to modern post-war architecture and urbanism, as well as to the socio-economic context that favoured its growth and expansion. As a result of this, Jacques Tati’s film production constitutes a suitable visual tool which, even nowadays, is consulted and shown due to its clarity and humour, and at the same time invites citizens –viewers- to participate in an architectural criticism exercise that, so far, had been reserved to architects.

El tema de estudio de esta tesis es el análisis morfológico y cronológico de diez ejemplares emblemáticos de la arquitectura doméstica señorial de la Granada del siglo XVI, analizados en comparación con otros casos de referencia construidos en el mismo período en la propia ciudad, conservados y desaparecidos. También se han tenido en cuenta las principales manifestaciones arquitectónicas de los mayores focos urbanos contemporáneos en el reino de Castilla. El trabajo se ha desarrollado partiendo de la realización de una planimetría precisa y completa de las diez casas documentadas, uniendo al trabajo in situ sobre los datos materiales el estudio de las fuentes de archivo y de la bibliografía especializada existente sobre la materia. El análisis formal de las unidades domésticas ha sido enfocado al estudio tipológico de lo construido, haciendo especial hincapié en las pervivencias andalusíes sobre las cuales los nuevos moradores edificaron o adaptaron sus casas solariegas. En apoyo a las hipótesis presentadas se aporta la documentación arqueológica derivada de las excavaciones realizadas en los solares de las viviendas objeto de análisis, además de los planos de los estados previos a las recientes reformas sufridas por muchos de estos edificios. El análisis comparativo con algunos edificios contemporáneos en los que se ha documentado y estudiado cronológicamente su evolución histórica, ha permitido afianzar las hipótesis de datación y de reconstrucción de la distribución espacial de las fábricas originarias de la época tratada. Los objetivos de la investigación han sido orientados a poner de manifiesto la delicada y compleja transición de la medina nazarí a la ciudad cristiana, tratando también ciertas características multiculturales propias de las técnicas constructivas y de sociedad de la época. Los resultados de este estudio multidisciplinar se han registrado en un mapa de datos creado con el Sistema de Información Geográfico, en el que se han incluido tanto los datos cronológicos como formales, individualizando los ambientes que constituyen las pervivencias medievales y los que se han construido después, aportando sus distintas dataciones. Se ha querido dar respuesta a varios interrogativos: ¿Cómo se adapta la arquitectura castellana al tejido urbano andalusí? ¿Reaprovecha las preexistencias o las elimina en cada momento? ¿De qué modo la ciudad ha ido modificándose hasta configurarse como una ciudad moderna? ¿Cuánto se ha mantenido este patrimonio de casas? ¿Cómo se debería conservar? Se ha tratado de resolver estas cuestiones formulando síntesis gráficas en las que se puede comprender la evolución histórica de las viviendas acontecida a lo largo del siglo XVI, junto con sus transformaciones recientes provocadas por las intervenciones contemporáneas. Asimismo se aporta el estudio de las principales características de las intervenciones acometidas sobre este patrimonio único de viviendas, que por su propia naturaleza es altamente perecedero y necesita que se formulen criterios eficaces y correctos para su mayor conservación. El punto de partida de este trabajo no ha sido solamente el análisis de campo sino también la recopilación y ordenación de los datos procedentes de la bibliografía existente para formular discursos coherentes y precisos sobre la evolución de este tipo de viviendas históricas, cuyos valores son tan expuestos a graves deterioros que su catalogación, documentación y valoración se hacen imprescindibles. Pese a que las diez viviendas incluidas en los capítulos de estudio detallado estén catalogadas en los Planes Especiales de Protección (Albaicín, 1990 y Centro, 2002), sus caracteres formales y sus elementos estructurales y decorativos de valor histórico han sufrido un evidente proceso de expolio o destrucción, hecho grave que esta Tesis quiere reflejar de cara a la deseable futura puesta en valor real de estos edificios así como, indirectamente, de sus ámbitos urbanísticos de pertenencia. ABSTRACT The purpose of this thesis is to study the morphological and chronological characteristics of ten emblematic mansions belonging to the architectural period of the 16th Century in Granada, Spain. These houses are compared with other similar outstanding constructions of the same period that are located in the city, which have either been preserved or disappeared. Also, this study has taken into account the main architectural expressions of greater contemporary urban areas of the Kingdom of Castile. The work carried out began, first of all, by drawing a precise and thorough planimetry of the ten surveyed houses, together with in situ tasks based on physical data, a study of archival data, and the specialized existing bibliography on the subject. The formal analysis of the home units is focused as a typological study of erected buildings, with a special attention on Al Andalus remains over which the new householders constructed or adapted their mansions. The hypotheses brought forward have been supported by the archaeological documentation that had been elaborated during the excavation works of the houses concerned in this study. Moreover, the drawings of the states of the sites, previously to the most recent renovation works many of these buildings have undergone, have been presented. The comparative analysis made with some contemporary buildings, which have been chronologically documented and studied in their historical evolution, has confirmed the dating hypotheses, and that of the reconstruction of the spatial distribution of the original factories the period discussed. The aims of this research have been oriented to bring to light the delicate and complex transition of the town, from the Nasrid period to Christian times. The research has also dealt with some special multicultural characteristics of the constructive techniques, as well as of the society of that period. The results of this multidisciplinary study have been registered on a data map created with the Geographical Information System, which includes both the chronological and formal data. The Medieval settings, and those of later constructions, have been individualised and dated. Several questions have been answered: how the Castilian architecture adapts to the Al Andalus urban design? Have the pre-existing structures been reused or eliminated at each stage? How has the town evolved until becoming a modern city? To which degree this heritage of houses has remained? How should it been preserved? These questions have been approached by means of graphical syntheses in an attempt to bring an understanding of the historical evolution of the houses throughout the 16th Century. But also, this work shows the more recent transformations these structures suffered over the contemporary period. Moreover, there is a study of the main characteristics of interventions over this unique patrimony of housing which by nature is perishable and needs a formulation of correct and efficient criteria for better conservation. The starting point of this work has not only been that of field analysis, but also the gathering and ordering of the existing bibliographical data, in order to formulate coherent and precise statements on the evolution of this type of historical housing. Its treasures are so exposed to severe deterioration that their cataloguing, documentation and appreciation are becoming crucial. Despite the fact that the ten houses considered in the chapters of this detailed study are listed in the special protection plans (Planes Especiales de Protección, Albaicín plan of 1990 and the town centre plan of 2002) their formal characteristics, as well as structural and decorative historical value, have suffered gradual plunders or destruction. This thesis tries to reflect how serious is that matter and the need in the future to give this heritage and the surrounding urban environment, a real value.

La actual ciudad de Akko in Israel, ha tenido muchos nombres a lo largo de los siglos de su prolongado asentamiento. El nombre de Acre, con el que se le conoce en el mundo Occidental, es el residuo del nombre de San Juan de Acre que le dieron sus habitantes cruzados en el s. XII de la era Cristiana. Sin embargo, el nombre de ‘Akko y sus derivados, tienen una larga historia. Bajo tal nombre, aparece ya en las fuentes escritas de comienzos el II Milenio a.C., cuando e produjo la primera urbanización del lugar. Se mantuvo como ‘Akko, ‘Ake, etc…a lo largo de los siglos posteriors, a pesar de los inentos de varios dirigentes de cambiarelo. El asentamiento se trasladó, a causa de los cambios en la línea de costa y del río Na’aman o Belos, desde el antiguo Tel Akko a la bahía, en la que se estableció un puerto artificial,reconstruido y renovado reiteradamente durante más de 2000 años. El primer nombre conocido del sitio original del asentamiento, el tell, data de época de los cruzados. Este sufrió una alteración de su nombre, reflejo de la transformación de la historia de Akko, en la que la intervención occidental (europea9, jugó un papel decisivo.

Reflejando la ciudad moderna, el flâneur se encuentra atrapado entre dos tiempos: el presente, que se transforma continuamente, y el pasado, que permanece en forma de vestigios materiales. Desde su aparición en la literatura, la trayectoria del flâneur va ligada a los principales cambios históricos, sociales y culturales, que se plasman en distintas texturas urbanas. En todas ellas ejerce una función de nexo entre la ciudad antigua y la nueva que se superpone. El objeto del presente artículo es analizar la evolución de esta figura histórico y literaria como punto de partida para interpretar la obra en prosa Tetralogie der Erinnerung (1992-2004) de Dieter Forte.

Richard Aldington’s city poems in the latter part of his 1915 collection Images are concerned with the masses who inhabit the modern city. Aldington is at pains to stress his distinction from those he perceives as an increasingly homogenized crowd. This paper examines the literary, linguistic and rhetorical strategies by which Aldington ‘others’ the masses, and sets them in the context of contemporary studies of the crowd, focusing on the work of Gustave Le Bon and C. F. G. Masterman. Aldington’s poetry is a product of the environment he sees as unsatisfactory, but he searches for solutions in a range of literary traditions which write the city.

In today’s world heritage worldwide are at the risk not only because of natural process of decay and destruction but also by social change like urbanization, globalization and homogenization of cultures. With these emerging problems, the heritage conservation discourse also has reached to a new dimension including broader range of concepts like tangible heritage, intangible heritage, community participation, indigenous knowledge and many more. Even with the changing scenario in the international context about the heritage conservation, Nepal’s heritage conservation still focus on monuments, sites and buildings. In add to that the conservation practices are still top-down approach and community involvements are limited only in plans. While numerous intangible heritages like masking dances chariot processions, festivals and rituals, which form an integral part of the daily social life of people are still being continued and managed by the community and its people, without with out serious attention form the government. In Kathmandu Valley these heritages has been maintained with the traditional social association of people known as “Guthi” which has been continuing since 5th Century. Most of the tangible and intangible heritages have survived for centuries because of this unique association of people. Among the numerous festivals of the Kathmandu Valley, the festival Yenya Punhi was chosen as a case for this study, which is also a major festival of Kathmandu. This festival is the perfect example for the study as its celebrated in the city that is the most urbanized city of Nepal with the challenges of the every modern city like social changes and urbanization. Despite modern challenges Guthi still plays a major role in the heritage conservation in Kathmandu Valley. Now there are some interventions of the various formal institutions. So this study will be focusing on the management, continuity and problems of the festival along with Nepal’s position in terms of intangible heritage conservation. The problem of Kathmandu and Yenya Punhi festival is the problem of every country in the similar situation so with this case study it can be a good example for finding solutions of the similar problem not only the other festivals within Nepal but also elsewhere in the world; Resumo: Conexão de Património: Festival Yenya Punhi um caminho de fortalecimento de identidade: A experiência de Catmandu Nos dias de hoje, os patrimónios mundiais encontram-se em risco, não só devido ao processo natural de degradação e destruição, mas também pelas mudanças sociais, tais como a urbanização, globalização e homogeneização de culturas. Com o emergir destes problemas, o discurso de conservação de Património atingiu também uma nova dimensão, incluíndo uma área mais abrangente de conceitos, como por exemplo, património material, património imaterial, participação da comunidade, conhecimento indígena, entre outros. Mesmo com este cenário de mudança no contexto mundial de conservação do património, a preservação do património do Nepal continua a focar-se em monumentos, sítios e edíficios. A acrescentar a isso, as práticas de conservação ainda têm uma abordagem descendente e os envolvimentos da comunidade são limitados por planificações. Enquanto que os numerosos patrimónios imateriais como danças com máscaras, procissões, festivais e rituais, os quais formam uma parte integral da vida diária social das pessoas que as continuam e as gerem em comunidade, sem uma atenção séria por parte do governo. No Vale de Catmandu, este património tem sido mantido pela associação tradicional de pessoas conhecidas como ''Guthi'' desde o século V. A maior parte destes patrimónios materiais e imateriais tem sobrevivido durante séculos graças a esta associação única de pessoas. Entre os numerosos festivais do Vale de Catmandu, o festival Yenya Puhni foi escolhido para este estudo, pois é também um grande festival em Catmandu. Este festival é o exemplo perfeito para este estudo, pois é celebrado na cidade mais urbanizada do Nepal, com os desafios das cidades modernas tais como mudanças sociais e urbanização. Apesar dos desafios da modernização, os ''Guthi'' ainda desempenham um papel importante na preservação do património do Vale de Catmandu. Agora, existem algumas intervenções de várias instituições formais Então, este estudo irá focar-se na gestão, continuidade e problemas do festival, juntamente com a posição do Nepal em termos de conservação de património imaterial. O problema de Catmandu e do festival Yenya Punhi é o problema de todos os países em situação semelhante então, este estudo pode ser um bom exemplo para encontrar soluções de problemas parecidos, não só em outros festivais no Nepal mas também para qualquer parte do mundo.
