Los actos de imaginar, crear y proyectar son conceptos de especulación pura, ya que, al inicio del proceso, arquitectos con conciencia, no saben con certeza lo que se va a lograr, pero con el objetivo siempre de mejorar lo existente. Arquitectos como Peter Eisenmann, Frank Gehry, Mies van der Rohe y Peter Zumthor tienen como meta proponer especulativamente en sus proyectos soluciones formales basados en conceptos abstractos, metafóricos y experienciales.

Abstract Hermann Blomeier is one of around 80 graduates from the Bau- und Ausbauabteilung, a comparatively small group among the more than 1200 students at the Bauhaus who have only recently come under the spotlight of research. The biographies of several graduates are known, such as Franz Ehrlich, Erich Consemüller, Howard Dearstyne, Selman Selmanagić, Herbert Hirche or Arieh Sharon; many more are lost, however. Although the Bauhaus was not a ›school‹ in the sense of a unified design approach and a binding canon of forms, it is instructive on an individual level to study the work of Blomeier, one of the Bauhaus graduates and students of Ludwig Mies van der Rohe who has so far received little attention. On the basis of three projects from the 1950s, the viability of the design approaches conveyed at the Bauhaus for the construction tasks of the post-war period are examined. First, the ferry ports connecting Konstanz and Meersburg will be considered as the first major project by Blomeier after the Second World War. The buildings for the Bodensee-Wasserversorgung – at times the largest construction site in West Germany of the 1950s – represent an outstanding example of industrial architecture and technical infrastructure in their fusion of art, technology and landscape. The smallest of the three projects, the building for the rowing club Neptun, located directly opposite the old town of Konstanz on the Seerhein, points with its innovative modular primary structure well beyond contemporary architecture and anticipates developments of the late 1960s, such as the Japanese Metabolists or the Plug-In-City of Archigram.

The Impact

Future sea-level rises on the urban waterfront of coastal and riverbanks cities will not be uniform. The impact of floods is exacerbated by population density in nearshore urban areas, and combined with land conversion and urbanization, the vulnerability of coastal towns and public spaces in particular is significantly increased. The empirical analysis of a selected number of waterfront projects, namely the winners of the Mies Van Der Rohe Prize, highlighted the different morphological characteristics of public spaces, in relation to the approximation to the water body: near the shoreline, in and on water. The critical reading of selected architectures related to water is open to multiple insights, allowing to shift the design attention from the building to the public space on the waterfronts. The survey makes it possible to delineate contemporary features and lay the framework for urban development in coastal or riverside areas.

Mies's Opaque Cube: The Electric Utilities Pavilion at the 1929 Barcelona International Exposition focuses on the dramatic, opaque, white cube-shaped building designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe for the German electricity industry's display at the exposition. Like many emblematic projects of modern architecture, the pavilion was created for a temporary exhibition and is known only through the photographic and graphic documentation of the era. Mies used the Electricity Supply Company Pavilion to experiment with a variety of ideas, including the use of photo murals and a new expression of structure and space, that featured in his later buildings. Through archival research, Laura Lizondo Sevilla has reconstructed this pavilion, the original plans for which no longer exist, and her article reinterprets the building's contribution to Mies's subsequent architecture.

<p>¿Cómo representar el vacío cuando es invisible y carece de límites, y a su vez, sin embargo, constituye<br />el fundamento de toda una arquitectura? Esta paradoja fundacional de la modernidad tuvo en Mies<br />van der Rohe la expresión radical de una búsqueda intuitiva a través de unos dibujos probatorios<br />expresados en los bocetos de sus proyectos de casas patio de finales de los años veinte en Europa,<br />bocetos que culminaron en su obra más sorprendente y lograda: el Pabellón de Barcelona; y en los<br />años siguientes, en los collages de su primer proyecto en América, la casa Resor. Un recorrido por ellos<br />revelará por sí mismo la ambición visionaria desarrollada por el arquitecto y las dificultades que hubo<br />para su materialización; paradójicamente, ésta es una de las cualidades de las cuales carece dicho vacío<br />ilimitado, ingrávido e inconcluso, y el cual su arquitectura “construyó” de forma aporética haciendo de<br />él otro material más del proyecto, cuando no el más importante.</p>
