Resumen: Le Corbusier durante gran parte de su vida busca volver la vista hacia las tradiciones mediterráneas. Con el fin de desvelar la arquitectura y el paisaje españoles, realiza un gran número de viajes en tren y coche a lo largo de su territorio y será durante su visita a Barcelona en 1928 cuando nace su interés por la técnica de la bóveda catalana. Es una época de su carrera en la que empieza a interesarse por métodos de construcción y materiales tradicionales. Para el arquitecto la bóveda catalana es un sistema con grandes posibilidades formales y una gran flexibilidad frente a su sencillez de medios. Le Corbusier muestra la influencia de sus viajes por el Mediterráneo, en especial de su viaje a Barcelona, y de su relación con varios arquitectos españoles en una gran cantidad de obras residenciales realizadas entre los años 20 y 50. Consiguió definir la expresividad del proyecto a través de la repetición de un único elemento arquitectónico, el sistema abovedado sobre una retícula, y de la utilización de diversos materiales como el ladrillo, vidrio y hormigón. Tras años de estudios de estos elementos el arquitecto adapta la bóveda catalana a las innovaciones estructurales del hormigón armado, demostrando una gran autonomía formal y temporal respecto al resto de sus proyectos y consiguiendo aunar tradición y modernidad en una única obra. Abstract: Throughout his life Le Corbusier was inspired by Mediterranean traditions. In order to discover Spanish architecture and landscape, he went on numerous of car and train trips throughout its territory. During his visit to Barcelona in 1928 he discovered the craftsmanship of thin-tile Catalan vaults. This was a period in his career in which he began to be interested in traditional building methods and materials. Le Corbusier looked at Catalan vaults as a very flexible formal system versus its simplicity of means. He showed the influence of his travels around the Mediterranean, particularly when he travelled to Barcelona and his relationship with many Spanish architects, in a large number of residential projects built between the 20s and the 50s. He managed to define the project expressivity through the repetition of an unique architectural element, the vault on a grid system, and the use of different materials such as brick, glass and concrete. After several years studying these elements he was able to adapt the Catalan vault system to innovative reinforced concrete structural solutions, showing a great formal and temporary autonomy compared to the rest of his projects while combining tradition and modernity in a unique work.Palabras clave: Mediterráneo; viajes; bóveda catalana; tradición; modernidad.

Important Direction

The connection of the modern psychology and formal systems remains an important direction of research. This paper is centered on philosophical problems surrounding relations between mental and logic. Main attention is given to philosophy of logic but certain ideas are introduced that can be incorporated into the practical philosophical logic. The definition and properties of basic modal logic and descending ones which are used in study of mental activity are in view. The defining role of philosophical interpretation of modality for the particular formal system used for research in the field of psychological states of agents is postulated. Different semantics of modal logic are studied. The hypothesis about the connection of research in cognitive psychology (semantics of brain activity) and formal systems connected to research of psychological states is stated.

This chapter discusses the movie palace’s decline and the beginnings of the neutralized movie theater from the 1920s to 1932. While much scholarship has attributed the transition to either economics after the Depression or the emergence of sound, the chapter argues for the importance of modernist architectural trends, such as the work of Le Corbusier, and new dimensions of spectatorship invested in attention. Modern machine culture reinforced the need for a theater structure that would make spectators into parts of a filmic assembly line. Ben Schlanger emerges as the loudest voice of neutralization, demanding a “slaughtering” of unnecessary decoration in the urban movie theater. His and multiple lighting designers’ work with light and darkness in the theater exemplify the upheavals in 1920s–1930s exhibition: from a theater with a panoply of effects to one centered on the dramatic play of light and dark within the film and its environment.
