Vieme akos a hovorí „French Disco on French Riviera“, ale odkedy je Art Basel v Paríži, tak pre mňa už platí aj „French Disco in Paris“. Ja a moje myšlienkové pochody dosť často spadáme do vysokej abstrakcie, ale tentokrát je to „Art, Architecture and Music meets REALITY“. Moje najobľubenejšie životné spojenie.

Krajina disca?

Na toto neviem exaktne odpovedať, ale keďže sme 2x počúvali francúzke disco na Francúzkej riviére, cítim sa, že pre mňa to je určite krajina tohto hudobného žánru 70.tych rokov. Do určitého veku mi Francúzko prišlo dosť vzdialené, ale to iba kvôli nevedomosti čo všetko ponúka a žiaľ som musela samovzdelávaním prísť na to sama. Ale oplatilo sa.

Beh cez Louvre

Tento život mi príde neskutočne fascinujúci, nazvala by som to pesničkou od Davida Bowieho „Speed of Life“. V jeden ďen mi príde múzeum Louvre ako príjemný skanzen minulosti a v druhý deň, keď zistím, že pyramídovú dostavbu Louvre realizoval čínsko-americký architekt I. M. Pei, sa stávam najväčším fanúšikom tejto inštitúcie. Okrem iného body Louvre dodáva aj ikonický beh vo filme od Jeana Luca Goddarda – Band of Outsiders a The Dreamers od Bernarda Bertolucci-ho. A nebudem spomínať, že Jean Luc Goddard natočil The Rolling Stones pri Symphaty for The Devil. 

Joseph Beuys Laughing

Pariž som do roku 2019 vnímala iba ako mesto s Eiffelovkou, ale odkedy som tam zažila párty ako z Las Vegas a prvý Art Basel – zmenila som názor. Mohlo mi napovedať aj to, že tam má sídlo americká galéria Marian Goodman Gallery (kde v NYC pobočke som stretla Johna Baldessariho). Okrem iného tam majú aj kníhkupectvo, kde sa mi podarilo kúpiť platňu so smiechom Josepha Beuysa. Toto mi príde naozaj úzasný nápad (miešajú sa vo mne pocity bizarností a dobrého konceptu), okrem iného kúpila som aj knihu a tričko s tématikou Johna Baldessariho.

Walter Gropius

by Michaela Slobodová

Walter Gropius (1883–1969) bol nemecko-americký architekt a zakladateľ Bauhausu, ktorý je považovaný za jedného z priekopníkov modernistickej architektúry. Po emigrácii do Spojených štátov v roku 1937 pôsobil ako profesor na Harvard Graduate School of Design a spolupracoval s významnými architektmi, ako bol Marcel Breuer. V roku 1959 získal prestížnu AIA Gold Medal.

Jedným z jeho významných diel je Pan Am Building v New Yorku, dnes známe ako MetLife Building. Tento mrakodrap, dokončený v roku 1963, navrhli Gropius spolu s Pietrom Belluschim a Richardom Rothom. Budova je vysoká 246 metrov a má 59 poschodí, čo z nej v čase dokončenia robilo jednu z najväčších kancelárskych budov na svete s rozlohou 263 985 m².

Don’t wait. The purpose of our lives is to be happy!

Pan Am Building je charakteristické svojím osemuholníkovým tvarom a fasádou z prefabrikovaných betónových panelov, čo bolo v New Yorku novinkou. Pôvodne slúžilo ako sídlo spoločnosti Pan American Airways a na streche budovy sa nachádzal heliport, ktorý poskytoval rýchle spojenie na letisko JFK. Tento heliport bol však v roku 1977 uzavretý po tragickej nehode.

Gropiusov prínos k dizajnu Pan Am Building spočíval v jeho modernistickom prístupe a dôraze na funkčnosť a jednoduchosť. Jeho spolupráca s ďalšími architektmi priniesla ikonickú stavbu, ktorá dodnes dominuje panoráme New Yorku a odráža Gropiusovu víziu moderného mestského dizajnu.

Spojenie estetiky a funkčnosti

Walter Gropius sa vo svojej tvorbe usiloval o spojenie estetiky a funkčnosti, čo sa odráža aj v jeho prístupe k veľkým projektom, ako bolo Pan Am Building. Aj keď bola táto budova v čase svojho dokončenia kontroverzná – niektorí kritici ju považovali za príliš masívnu a rušivú v panoráme New Yorku – dnes je vnímaná ako dôležitý príklad povojnovej modernistickej architektúry.

Gropiusov vplyv siaha ďaleko za jednotlivé budovy. Jeho filozofia Bauhausu, založená na integrácii umenia, remesla a priemyselnej výroby, formovala generácie architektov a dizajnérov. V Spojených štátoch pomohol presadiť modernizmus v akademickej sfére a ovplyvnil vývoj moderných výškových budov, ktoré spájajú efektivitu s vizuálnou jednoduchosťou.

 

Hoci Pan Am Building nebolo jeho najradikálnejším dielom, jeho konštrukcia a dizajn ukazujú, ako sa Gropiusova vízia pretavila do veľkomestskej architektúry druhej polovice 20. storočia. Dodnes zostáva jedným z ikonických príkladov jeho vplyvu na urbanizmus a komerčnú architektúru.

 

🔹 Bauhaus a minimalizmus – Gropius založil Bauhaus v roku 1919, no škola bola trikrát presťahovaná a nakoniec zatvorená nacistami v roku 1933. Aj napriek tomu jeho filozofia ovplyvnila moderný dizajn po celom svete.

🔹 Dizajn bez podpisu – Gropius veril, že architektúra a dizajn by nemali byť o jednotlivcovi, ale o tímovej práci. Preto sa vyhýbal podpisovaniu svojich návrhov a podporoval kolektívnu tvorbu.

🔹 Pan Am Building a Newyorčania – Keď bolo Pan Am Building dokončené, mnohí Newyorčania ho nenávideli, pretože zasahovalo do výhľadu na Chrysler Building a považovali ho za „betónové monštrum“.

🔹 Architekt, ktorý nevedel kresliť? – Napriek tomu, že bol jedným z najvýznamnejších architektov 20. storočia, Gropius nebol veľmi zručný v kreslení. Často si najímal asistentov, ktorí jeho vízie prenášali na papier.

🔹 Gropius a automobilový dizajn – Mal veľký záujem o priemyselný dizajn a v 30. rokoch navrhol koncept auta pre spoločnosť Adler. Jeho návrh bol aerodynamický, minimalistický, ale nikdy nebol masovo vyrábaný.

🔹 Heliport na Pan Am Building – Strecha budovy krátko slúžila ako heliport pre lety na letisko JFK. Bol to luxusný spôsob cestovania, no po tragickej nehode v roku 1977 bol heliport zatvorený.

🔹 Nečakaný vplyv na Apple? – Dizajnér Jony Ive, ktorý vytvoril ikonický vzhľad Apple produktov, sa inšpiroval filozofiou Bauhausu. Gropiusov dôraz na jednoduchosť a funkčnosť tak nepriamo ovplyvnil aj modernú elektroniku.

Gropiusova práca a myšlienky sú dodnes prítomné v architektúre, dizajne a každodennom živote. Jeho minimalistické princípy sa odrážajú v moderných budovách, nábytku a dokonca aj v technologických produktoch. 🔥

Dokonalosť! To je pre mňa Prada Fondazione. Kľúčové slová: Rem Koolhaas, Crème de la Crème súčasného umenia na najvyššej úrovni. Pár faktov:  Fondazione Prada bola založená v roku 1993 ako súčasť umeleckého programu ikonickej módnej značky Prada, ktorú vedie Miuccia Prada a jej manžel Patrizio Bertelli. Cieľom tejto nadácie je nielen podporovať a prezentovať súčasné umenie, ale taktiež prebúdzať zvedavosť, inšpirovať a otvárať dvere k novým perspektívam v umení aj myslení. Tento aspekt ich misie ma veľmi zaujal. Čím som staršia oceňujem na ľudoch, keď vyznávajú pravidlá reciprocity života (dostaneš – dáš). A čo ešte viac oceňujem, je že ľudia s obrovským kapitálom, vplyvom a možnosťami, vytvárajú niečo prínosné pre „celú“ spoločnosť. 

Architektúra a priestory

Hlavné sídlo Fondazione Prada sa nachádza v zrekonštruovanom priemyselnom komplexe z roku 1910, ktorý navrhol renomovaný holandský architekt Rem Koolhaas a jeho ateliér OMA. Tento priestor je ohromujúci svojou harmóniou medzi historickým a moderným. Najväčším klenotom je ikonická „Zlatá veža“ pokrytá 24-karátovým zlatom, ktorá oslnivo žiari na pozadí industriálnej architektúry.

 

Okrem nej areál pozostáva z viacerých budov vrátane „Podzemia“ (The Underground), kde sa konajú experimentálne výstavy, a „Kinematografu“ (Cinema), ktorý hostí filmové projekcie a diskusie. Veľká časť priestoru je venovaná flexibilným výstavným halám, ktoré umožňujú inovatívne kurátorské prístupy a neustále menia svoju podobu.

Súčasťou komplexu je aj „Haunted House“ – pôvodná historická budova, ktorá bola zrekonštruovaná a využíva sa na špeciálne výstavy. Toto spojenie starého a nového vytvára dynamickú atmosféru, v ktorej sa tradičné stretáva s moderným umením a architektúrou.

Významné výstavy a projekty

Fondazione Prada sa venuje prezentácii diel od najvýznamnejších umelcov súčasnosti, ako sú Damien Hirst, Jeff Koons, Louise Bourgeois a mnoho ďalších. Každá výstava je skutočným umeleckým dobrodružstvom, plným prekvapivých momentov a silných emócií. Okrem toho organizuje tematické výstavy, ktoré presahujú hranice vizuálneho umenia a zapájajú filozofiu, vedu a literatúru.

Dôležitým aspektom Fondazione Prada je jej interdisciplinárny prístup. Spája umenie s filozofiou, literatúrou a kinematografiou, čím ponúka širokospektrálny kultúrny dialóg. Jedným z najinovatívnejších projektov nadácie je „Prada Journal“, platforma na podporu literárnej tvorby, ako aj experimentálne filmové projekty, ktoré sa odohrávajú v Prada Cinema. Tieto projekty dokazujú, že Fondazione Prada nie je len o umení, ale o tvorivom objavovaní sveta.

Fondazione Prada v Benátkach

Okrem hlavnej pobočky v Miláne má Fondazione Prada taktiež priestor v historickom paláci Ca’ Corner della Regina v Benátkach, kde sa konajú významné výstavy spojené s prestížnym Bienále v Benátkach. Atmosféra tohto miesta je doslova magická a umocňuje silu každého vystaveného diela.

Prečo je dôležitý Kenzo Tange?

Kenzo Tange (1913 – 2005) patrí medzi najvýznamnejších architektov 20. storočia a jeho vplyv na modernú architektúru je nespochybniteľný. Jeho diela spájajú tradičné japonské princípy s modernistickým prístupom, čím vytvoril jedinečný štýl, ktorý ovplyvnil nielen architektúru v Japonsku, ale aj na celom svete.

Priekopník modernizmu v Japonsku

Po druhej svetovej vojne sa Japonsko ocitlo v období rekonštrukcie a modernizácie. Kenzo Tange bol jedným z hlavných architektov, ktorí pomohli pretvoriť krajinu. Jeho návrhy kombinovali funkcionalizmus a estetiku, čím vytvoril nové architektonické vzory, ktoré dodnes ovplyvňujú urbanizmus a mestské plánovanie.

Ikonické stavby a vplyv na urbanizmus

Jedným z jeho najznámejších diel je Hirošimský pamätný park mieru, ktorý symbolizuje obnovu a mier po atómovom bombardovaní v roku 1945. Táto stavba spája modernistické princípy s japonskou tradíciou a predstavuje silný emocionálny odkaz.

Ďalším významným dielom je Národný štadión Jojogi v Tokiu, ktorý bol postavený pre letné olympijské hry v roku 1964. Tento štadión je považovaný za technický a dizajnový skvost vďaka inovatívnej konštrukcii, ktorá umožňuje voľne visiacu strechu nad hlavným športoviskom.

Tange sa venoval aj urbanizmu a v 60. rokoch predstavil tzv. „metabolistickú architektúru“, ktorá reagovala na rýchly rast miest a navrhovala flexibilné a modulárne štruktúry. Jeho koncepty ovplyvnili mnohých architektov po celom svete a dodnes sú predmetom štúdia v oblasti urbanizmu.

Odkaz a vplyv na súčasnú architektúru

Kenzo Tange ovplyvnil generácie architektov, vrátane významných postmodernistov a hi-tech architektov. Jeho štýl a idey sa objavujú v mnohých moderných stavbách, pričom princípy, ktoré presadzoval, zostávajú relevantné aj dnes.

Za svoju prácu získal množstvo ocenení, vrátane prestížnej Pritzkerovej ceny v roku 1987, čo len potvrdzuje jeho výnimočný prínos k svetovej architektúre.

Kenzo Tange nebol len architektom, ale vizionárom, ktorý pomohol pretvoriť Japonsko a inšpiroval svet. Jeho diela sú dôkazom toho, že spojenie tradície a moderny môže viesť k nadčasovým a inovatívnym riešeniam, ktoré ovplyvňujú architektúru dodnes.

Kenzo Tangeho práca predstavuje spojenie tradície a modernizmu, pričom jeho stavby ako Hirošimský pamätný park mieru, Národný štadión Jojogi či koncept metabolistickej architektúry zanechali hlboký odtlačok na svetovej architektonickej scéne. Jeho inovácie v urbanizme a architektúre inšpirovali generácie tvorcov a dodnes ovplyvňujú vývoj moderných miest. Tangeho dielo je dôkazom toho, že dobrý dizajn dokáže prekročiť hranice času a priestoru, a jeho vplyv bude pretrvávať aj v budúcnosti.
