O desenho da casa em Aldo Van Eyck: reflexão sobre a construção espacial nas habitações unifamiliares

Abstract

The dutch architect Aldo van Eyck [1918-1999] was one of the great protagonists of the twentieth century's architecture, who recognized himself as a hard critic of the CIAM's dogmatism. Being one of the essentials figures of questioning and architectural reflection, he was one of the main drivers and more assiduous members of the Team 10. His ideas, innovative concepts and his different form of looking to architecture made Aldo a unique architect and interesting to study. Thus, in this master thesis, O desenho da casa em Aldo van Eyck - reflexão sobre a construção espacial das habitações unifamiliares, it's proposed a new look, a reflection about the process of the projectual and spatial drawing of the twelve houses designed by Aldo van Eyck between 1944 and 1976. His housing projects, although not well known, reflect his ideas in a little scale. The houses are drawing from interesting geometric compositions and measure questions which transmit proportion and balance to projects; in relation to interior spatiality, one can find similar characteristics like the open-space disposition, the entrance's position and the treatment of the in-between space that can be interpreted in the relation of the interior and exterior spaces. The perception of these themes is essential to study his housing projects and, more generally, for a better understanding of his architecture.
