La dimensión humana de la arquitectura. Aprendiendo del Team 10.
Abstract
RESUMEN: Con la excusa del quincuagésimo
aniversario del libro de Alison Smithson Team 10
Primer, el presente artículo aborda la caracterización
del concepto ‘dimensión humana de la arquitectura’. Se
define la dimensión humana de la arquitectura como el
modo consciente en que ésta considera la interacción
con sus futuros usuarios, con el claro objetivo de
elaborar propuestas encaminadas a introducir
mejoras en sus vidas. La discusión del asunto se acota
fundamentalmente en el periodo de la arquitectura
moderna, y en particular en el contexto de aquellos
jóvenes revolucionarios de la tercera generación del
Movimiento Moderno (Team 10) que certificaron el final
de los todopoderosos CIAM, siendo el discurso teórico
del grupo el principal objeto de estudio. Para argumentar
esta cuestión se incorpora al artículo material original
de Aldo van Eyck y de la propia Alison Smithson. Como
colofón, el testimonio del arquitecto Juhani Pallasmaa
es aprovechado para realizar un planteamiento reflexivo
acerca del panorama arquitectónico contemporáneo.

The human dimension of architecture. Learning from
Team10.
ABSTRACT: Taking advantage of the fiftieth anniversary
of Alison Smithson’s book Team 10 Primer, this paper
discusses the characterization of the concept ‘human
dimension of architecture’. In essence, the human
dimension means the way in which architecture
consciously takes into account future interaction with its
users, with the clear goal of developing designs aimed
at improving their lives. The discussion of the matter is
mainly delimited in the period of modern architecture,
and more specifically concerns the context of those
revolutionary young architects of the third generation of
the Modern Movement (Team 10) who certified the death
of the all-powerful CIAM, being the theoretical discourse
of the group the main topic of study. To argue this issue
the paper includes original material from Aldo van Eyck
and Alison Smithson. Finally, the discourse of the Finish
architect Juhani Pallasmaa is taken into account to reflect
on contemporary architectural scene.
KEY WORDS: Team 10, architecture, society, human
dimension of architecture, architectural review, Aldo
van Eyck, Alison Smithson, Juhani Pallasmaa.
