Resumo

No meu artigo para o Caderno 48, Velos y veladuras se exploraram as relações
entre decoração e identidade, sua relação com a condição humana de “por um pé fora”
e “encaixar”, e a capacidade do ornamento de transmitir histórias através do tempo e
alimentar a imaginação. Abundante ou escasso, o ornamento permite à mente interpretar
a narrativa, cultural e pessoal, e a leitura atenta de nossos ambientes ajuda a sintonizar as
novas obras construídas com as preocupações contemporâneas e futuras. Para este artigo,
se focaliza num argumento secundário introduzido em Velos y veladuras, onde se explica
que “enquanto melhorias sustentáveis muitas vezes se concentram produtos intermédios
derivados da produção, leituras pertas podem ser feitas em sentido ascendente na seqüência
de fabricação, melhorando o bem-estar dos fabricantes e a poética de um produto”
(Kirkbride, 2013, p. 185). Este trabalho considera várias escalas e modos de atividades
prévias, a partir da tectônica das bacias hidrográficas e a gestão do sítio, à consciência da
história e da posição própria de um nela, e a re-conceitualizacão de um produto por os
fluxos de sua correia de abastecimentos e o ciclo de vida. Percorrer-se-á as origens desta
idéia –um passeio rio acima através de uma bacia com problemas durante uma chuva
torrencial– seguindo suas influencias em várias aulas práticas e exercícios baseados em
projetos desenvolvidos em Parsons The New School for Design.
