The 19Th Century

This paper presents the results of a research that was carried out in a castle in Prószków, a town near Opole, Poland. The investigations were based on the conducted architectural research, including iconographic studies and the analysis of the technology, building materials, and architectural details. The conducted research demonstrated that the Renaissance structure in question was built by Baron Jerzy Prószkowski as a palazzo in fortezza, most likely in the years 1563–1571. The residence is planned around a rectangular courtyard with four bastion towers. The scope of the architectural transformations of the complex during the baroque period and the 19th century was also presented. In the summary, it was highlighted that the castle is one of the first buildings located north of the Alps that refers to the designs of Villa Farnese in Caprarolli, which was designed by Giacomo Barozzi da Vignioli. It is in the style of palazzo in Fortezza, similar to residences in Czechia, Silesia, and Poland. Here, we emphasized the uniqueness of the complex, which stands out from other residences in Silesia and areas of the former Republic of Poland due its original form and innovative solutions.

"Why the need, in some way the urgency, of a historically retrospective number of «ArchAlp» magazine dedicated to the houses of Alpine modernity? The intent of this issue is to investigate the relationship between twentieth century modernity and contemporaneity in terms of breaks and novelties, of continuity and discontinuity, of shooting, variations and implementations, not just under the formal and linguistic aspect. In other words, are there points of interaction, long lasting red threads between the architectural vision of Lois Welzenbacher, Charlotte Perriand, Carlo Mollino, and that of Peter Zumthor, Gion A. Caminada, Bernardo Bader? It is basically a way to understand the existence of more or less long trajectories in the way architecture has set the critical and cultural field of mountain construction, recognizing differences and specificities. Although these are generally well-known projects, the works published in this issue of «ArchAlp» are not uniformly known in the territories that refer to the Alpine space. Hence the importance of gathering together a series of architectures that have had the potential for prototypes in order to submit them to a general and comparative view. Even in the absence of perhaps direct subsidiaries, the architectures presented in these pages represent an extraordinary patrimony of design moves and strategies which, through the internalization of experiences, deeply influenced the formation and determination of the contemporary architectural research field in the Alpine environment."

The famous phrase ‘Order is', reveals a conception of order that is relative to a path of research, rather than to a defi nition of absolutes. Kahn's order could be identifi ed with the unfolding of his experience, with the unwinding of his constantly dialectic compositions, structurally antinomic, consisting of drawings, materials and words: ‘order and design', ‘order and form', ‘not measurable and measurable', symmetry and asymmetry, centred and fragmented, ‘silence and light', nucleus and envelope, memory and a-temporality. Although all completely different one from another, his works are unequivocally parts of a single grand project which unfolds and comprises every experience and every substance to the point of implicating himself and his private sphere, so fatally absorbed by the superior order of his architectural research.

La fotografía tiene el poder de remover las emociones y el pensamiento contribuyendo a la construcción de conocimiento. Desde la aparición de la herramienta fotográfica las imágenes han servido de mecanismo activador en la producción arquitectónica, sus códigos ubican épocas, modos y modas, y (des)contextualizadas ayudan a entender y potencian la reflexión y la generación de un nuevo saber. Las fotografías de arquitecturas no construidas o concebidas con una corta vida, ayudan al constructo del pensamiento arquitectónico, al igual que lo hacen las imágenes generadas desde diferentes modos de estar y producir entendimiento en el espacio cultural, estableciendo etapas de evolución y nuevos paradigmas. El espacio doméstico es un buen ejemplo de desarrollo en el constructivo social, afectado inevitablemente por momentos históricos y cambios culturales. Las fotografías conservadas sobre prototipos, artefactos y dispositivos domésticos no construidos, al igual que la narrativa de imágenes que documentan movimientos sociales, posicionamientos culturales y políticas espaciales, son hoy día la base de nuestras investigaciones y erudición arquitectónica. Photography has the power to stir emotions and thinking contributing both to the construction of knowledge. Since photography was discovered images have been used as an activator of different mechanisms for architectural production. Its codes situate epochs, ways of living and trends, and decontextualized this images help to understand and enhance thinking and the production of new knowledge. Photographs of unbuilt architecture help to create architectural thinking, as well as images generated from different ways of being and which produce comprehension in the cultural space do, setting stages of evolution and new paradigms. Domestic space is good example of development in social construction, affected by historical periods and cultural changes. The existing photographs about prototypes, domestic gadgets and devices which were not built, as well as the narrative of the images which document social and political movements, cultural positions and spatial politics, are the basis of our architectural research and learning nowadays.
