Mies Van Der Rohe

During the American stage of Mies the beauty of the constructive precision and the essentiality of space is emphasized, which subordinates the program to formal purity. Form is not invented, nor is it the corollary of function or technology, but is the result of placing transcendent and timeless values on secondary issues. The architect must establish an order that assures the formality of the work, but in modernity the systematic classicist rules no longer run. So the goodness of the result is a consequence of the ability of the architect and the user to share visual codes. The effort of Mies in this stage will be to establish certain certainties, universal and clear, developed around the relation among space, structure and shape. The Fifty by Fifty feet house marks a turning point in these intentions and points the path of his latest works.

Autonomous Elements

L’arte del costruire (Baukunst) del nostro tempo trova fondamento nella ricerca di una nuova forma di composizione dei differenti autonomi elementi costruttivo/figurativi, nei quali risulta originariamente frammentata e stratificata: l’elemento plastico murario, che si occupa della fondazione del suolo, come massa stereotomica topograficamente modellata in rapporto alla conformazione del luogo; l’elemento propriamente tettonico della struttura di sostegno del riparo, strettamente riferibile ai procedimenti di montaggio di elementi finiti; l’elemento, portatore di motivi tessili, dell’involucro che dà forma allo spazio interno: pura superficie di rivestimento (Bekleidung) tendente alla smaterializzazione. Questi elementi si sono definiti attraverso un lungo processo di formazione, a partire dalla radicale revisione teorica delle tradizionali categorie tettoniche, nel corso dell’Ottocento. Essi sembrano trovare compimento nell’ultima fase della ricerca miesiana della “nuova” arte del costruire, nel progetto della Halle monumentale per Cuba/Berlin (1957-68).KEYWORDS: Mies van der Rohe; tettonica; spazio; struttura; costruzione; Baukunst.The art of building (Baukunst) of our time is founded on the search of a new kind of composition of different autonomous elements, in which it was originally fragmented and stratified: the plastic masonry element of the earthwork, as a stereotomic, topographic mass, closely related to the specific site; the properly tectonic element of the light carpentry framework/roofwork, largely connected to the rational modularity of assembly technique; the dematerialized element of spatial enclosure, as textile cladding surface: the pure dressing (Bekleidung). These elements have been defined through a long form-giving process, started with the radical nineteenth-century theoretical review of traditional tectonic categories. The same elements seem to reach their fulfillment in the last phase of Mies’ research on the “new” art of building: the project for a monumental Halle in Santiago de Cuba, finally built in Berlin (1957-68).KEYWORDS: Mies van der Rohe; tectonics; space; structure; construction; Baukunst.

The Brexit referendum in 2016 was a major turning-point in British and Scottish politics, reflected in a majority for Leave in England, but for Remain in Scotland. This article uses the British and Scottish Social Surveys for 2016 to explain Scottish-English differences, and finds that there were broad similarities in terms of social and demographic characteristics, and in terms of social values (‘authoritarians’ voting for Leave). Being ‘English’, however, was much more significant than being ‘Scottish’ in accounting for Brexit vote. The association between Brexit vote and constitutional preferences, notably voting intention in a future Scottish Independence Referendum, is far less clear-cut. Brexit promises to be a political game-changer, but in ways which are complex and unpredictable.
