“…Moreover, the specific oeuvre is ripe for grammatical analysis due to the constructivist style and method used: primary geometric forms and elements are used creatively for the composition. The Lenin Institute, consisting of Leonidov's diploma project in the Vkhutemas Architecture school is the first of a series of Avant-Garde projects that can be characterized as visions for the future (Collins 1979) or even utopian, characteristic of another, forward, progressive social order from Soviet Russia (Lowe 2010). Leonidov's preoccupation with geometric compositions will come to influence greats like Koolhaas and Gehry later in the twentieth century.…”

The paper develops computation, through dynamic grammars, as a third equivalent to syntactical and typological understanding of architectural design. Within theory of architectural design, syntactical and typological understanding of architecture are the two main scientific paradigms that explain how architecture is formed and conducted. As such the premise of the paper is to connect computational design as an equivalent understanding of architecture, one which has parity with the classical theoretical canon of the architectural design theories of the 20th century. To accomplish this, Dynamic grammars, i.e. shape grammars developed through animation are presented and analysed along with their mechanisms. Shape Grammars have been selected as a vehicle for this as they provide an excellent model of architectural com-position with computational design, using simple mechanisms. A case study of constructivist design is analysed using dynamic grammars, showcasing the elegance and efficiency of the system in describing variants of design, maintaining parity in a syntactical and a typological understanding of design. The paper concludes with the characteristics that a computational understanding of architectural design has.

1 Esta pesquisa tem o apoio do CNPq. IntroduçãoEste artigo intenta apontar o papel dos modelos físicos na investigação de projetos residenciais não construídos do arquiteto João Vilanova Artigas no Estado de São Paulo. Este texto é parte da tese de doutorado que está sendo desenvolvida na FAUUSP desde 2009.A metodologia adotada na pesquisa realizada envolve a produção de desenhos diagramáticos e de modelos físicos, com o auxílio da cortadora a laser, a partir de desenhos pouco divulgados até o momento do conjunto dos projetos não construídos pertencentes ao acervo digital da Biblioteca da FAUUSP. A contribuição original desta pesquisa reside na análise de projetos não construídos para um melhor entendimento do percurso da obra residencial do arquiteto. A intenção é aclarar possíveis relações entre estes projetos, particularmente o partido arquitetônico.Trinta e oito projetos estão sendo analisados por meio de desenhos e maquetes. A organização dos projetos está sendo feita pela classificação de tipos e partidos, Analysis of Vilanova Artigas' unbuilt designs in São PauloRESUMO -Este artigo tem como objetivo relatar resultados parciais da pesquisa que analisa projetos residenciais não construídos do arquiteto Vilanova Artigas. A concepção formal e espacial desses projetos é investigada a partir do uso de modelos físicos. O objeto de estudo são os projetos residenciais não construídos em São Paulo que fazem parte do acervo digital da Biblioteca da FAUUSP. Os resultados obtidos indicam que os modelos físicos contribuem para o aprofundamento da interpretação de projetos não construídos, tanto sob o ponto de vista conceitual e estético como do funcional e técnico. A contribuição original reside no objeto de estudo, o conjunto dos projetos não construídos em São Paulo, no método de análise com maquetes físicas e no objetivo de estabelecer relações entre a obra construída e os projetos de residências não construídas, de modo a contribuir para o melhor entendimento da concepção espacial e o partido arquitetônico de seus projetos residenciais.Palavras-chave: projetos não construídos, projeto residencial, Vilanova Artigas, modelos físicos. ABSTRACT -The aim of this article is to examine unbuilt residential projects designed by Vilanova Artigas. The formal and spatial conception of these projects is investigated through physical models. The object of this research project consists of the unbuilt residential projects designed by Vilanova Artigas in São Paulo that are available in FAUUSP's digital Library. The results indicate that physical models contribute to a better interpretation of unbuilt architectural design, both from the conceptual and aesthetic and from the functional and technical point of view. The original contribution lies in the object, i.e. the unbuilt projects, in the method, using physical models for analysis, and in the objective, viz. to establish a relationship between Artigas' built works and his unbuilt residential projects in order to better understand the design's spatial conception and its architec...

“…Even in Argentina, the idea of a lineal city was not exclusive to Acosta. Architect Amancio Williams, a fundamental figure of the modern movement in Buenos Aires—creator of the internationally acclaimed “House over the Creek” in the city of Mar del Plata (Collins 1979)—began to explore, in the 1940s, the potentialities of a lineal city. He imagined the creation of an elevated strip facing the river that would free the lower ground for traffic and concentrate higher levels of population in impressive skyscrapers.…”

A Lineal City in the Pampas: Politics, Materialization and Revolution in Wladimiro Acosta's Vision for Buenos Aires

Critics of modern architectural utopias have referred to the notions of construction and politics as irreconcilable elements of an unsurpassable antinomy. By studying Wladimiro Acosta's attempt to interrupt the unfolding of the capitalist urban process in Buenos Aires through an integral revision of the Spanish block, I explore the political potential embedded in the instance of materialization and highlight construction's involvement in the transformation of the prevailing forms of urban appearance. I argue that Acosta's proposal for a lineal city contains important theoretical and architectural reflections on how to conceive construction as a constitutive element of urban politics. In a contemporary urban scenario, where the production of the city's material and infrastructural landscape seems increasingly detached from democratic control, revisiting historical examples that position the notions of construction and emancipation as part of a single political prism may prove to be indispensable.
