The good building is not one that hurts the landscape, but one which makes the landscape more beautiful than it was before the building was built.Wright stood for clean lines and simplicity. He believed that a well built building complemented its environment and surrounding. He disliked the intricate detail and fussiness of the architectural styles that preceded him.Continuity between a city and its portTo bring the city to the port and the port to the city, such is the objective of this project. The city of Vigo is not the first to attempt the challenge. Its neighbours La Corugna and Marseille are examples of this and are in full alteration. Barcelona and Genoa in Italy are both considered a success today.Vigo must not miss the opportunity to make its mark.Today, the transformation is well underway. The city has turned itself towards the port, which welcomes it with open arms. The creation of the tunnel under the port, the redevelopment of the 'Calle' of Montero Rios and the creation of the commercial centre highlight a real determination to connect these two areas. The city and the port have always evolved on contradictory terms and have often been separated by a restricting administrative barrier.It's a historic time and the stakes are high.We propose to make the port area a new region of the city. It will be a district in the urban sense of the word with its own life, activities, spirit and focus. The thinking behind it can not be uniquely architectural and programmatic. It must anchor itself deep in the culture and essence of Vigo city as well as in its identity.In order to propose a logical plan adapted to the situation of this harbour city one must understand Vigo and its geographical relationship to the sea, the tides and the cruise boats that, like floating buildings, pull away from the port.One must really contemplate the layout of the port and quays in a sense of continuity. One must also characterise the site by its substance, amplify the perception of the landscape and play with the contrasts and the changes in scale. These are some of the themes by which we will tackle the set of problems posed by the project of developing the Port of Vigo.Fenomenologia (din limba greaca: phainmenon ?i logos = studiul fenomenelor) este un curent filosofic din secolul al XX-lea, care ncearca sa descrie structura experien?ei, a?a cum este reprezentata n con?tiin?a, nu ca fapte ci ca esen?a a lucrurilor (eidos), fara sa apeleze la teorii sau la metodele altor discipline, cum ar fi ?tiin?ele naturii. - http://ro.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fenomenologie Fenomenologie -este un curent filosofic din secolul al XX-lea, care ncearca sa descrie structura experien?ei, a?a cum este reprezentata n con?tiin?a, nu ca fapte ci ca esen?a a lucrurilor . Cel mai important reprezentant al discursului fenomenologiei in arhitectura este norvegianul cristian nobert Shultz .Fenomenologia pune accent pe perceptia directa a arhitecturii arhitectura ca fenomen ca manifestare concreta.Fenomenologia locului privesterelatia dintre esenta si fenomen: cum devine present perceptibil ?spiritul locului??.este o viziune umanista asupra spatiului.Fenomenologia arhitecturii o perspectiva locala puctuala participa in spatial existentialproxemica a apei lnga, sau n oras si casa, cu urmatoarele subdiviziuni:1) din punctul de vedere al relatiei cu apa al asezarii2) din punctul de vedere al angajarii apei n spatiul exterior al obiectului de arhitectura;3) din punctul de vedere al prezentei apei n spatiul interior al obiectului de arhitectura.Evident, exista cazuri extreme la primul punct: 1?) n care un oras se relationeaza, din ratiuni de aparare, comerciale sau politice, cu apa prin medierea unui oras subordonat (Atena si Pireu, Roma si Ostia), versus 1?) orase care se extind pe apa, n detrimentul acesteia, precum orasele-port contemporane japoneze sau olandeze. ntre aceste doua extreme, o plaja larga de ipostaze se ntinde: fie ca orasul s-a format n relativa indiferenta fata de proximitatea apei (Viena este, din acest punct de vedere, un exemplu destul de graitor), fie ca el se deschide n amfiteatru natural (Tulcea), sau prin proiectare n amfiteatru (Braila) catre apa tutelatoare (aici, Dunarea), sau prin strapungerea orasului de catre apa (Florenta, sau, n cheie minora, Bucurestii nsisi). Ajunsi aici, vom putea nuanta si mai mult lucrurile daca inspectam nu doar pozitia generala a orasului n raport cu apa, ct pozitia centrelor acestora n raport cu apa. Budapesta, de pilda, este traversata de Dunare, dar centrii asezarilor componente (Buda si Pesta) sunt relativ indiferenti la acest privilegiu si secolele de ntretesere a celor doua nu au rectificat cu mult din acest fapt. - Augustin IOAN - http://www.arhiforum.ro/agora/arhitectura-ca-apaContinuity between a city and its portTo bring the city to the port and the port to the city, such is the objective of this project.
