Resumen de El arte de la ingeniería, la ingeniería de la arquitectura, la arquitectura del ingeniero. Arte, concepto y lenguaje en el proyecto

Mario Fernandez Gonzalez

• This PhD thesis aims to analyse and verify the tense and intense relation that is established between the architecture, civil engineering and art worlds. Such analysis is conducted not only in a formal manner, but also at a level which is more conceptual and profound and whose basis are the three concepts that were posed by Severre Fehn at one of his last conferences, which was held under the title of “The Skin, the Cut, & the Bandage”1. This has been done in order to verify, in a general but also more particular way, that they shape their own operational language of the disciplinary endeavour, on whose limits common features of these three disciplines can be found, features that have seeped into research paces, guiding the sight, observation, contemplation and speculation, leading to the development of a theoretical frame which allows the connection between architectural and engineering interventions inside the operative field of art in the landscape.

  In this regard, the development of such research leads to the exhaustive analysis of these three concepts, posed in a common space located on the limit of these three disciplines, expectant and mindful of the notion of time, memory and place. Elements that, at the same time, configure themselves by means of the tectonic, conceptual and symbolic and lay an Ariadna’s Thread of the common language in whom invariants and patterns can be found, which underlie the same procedural operative that is bounded to the territory accommodating the work and which respond to a dialogical and at the same time, dialectical relation between the work and its landscape.

  Likewise, the work shapes an atmosphere that considers the crossing between the epistemological side of the discipline, the hermeneutic part of the thought that gazes at that which is conceptual, and the phenomenological part of the perception of the individual whom experiments the landscape.
