Art

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 (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. 🔥
