La ética de la impermanencia. El dibujo del tiempo frente al dibujo del espacio. Tange, Iisozaki y Price

Abstract

Faced with the representation of space, the representation of time has been essential, during the twentieth century. We propose a journey through time that takes us from Tokyo to London in a kind of round trip between the two cities between 1955 and 1970.We propose a review of three architects, the japaneses Kenzo Tange and Arata Isozaki, and British Cedric Price, which is manifested in a new architectural paradigm as a synthesis of interdisciplinary artistic, philosophical or scientific theories – the Uncertainty principle by Heisenberg, the graphic proccesses of John cage, or Gordon Pask’s cybernetics – where the architect, from his deep understanding of the impossibility, in unstable socio-economic conditions, designs with a degree of uncertainty to accommodate the uncertainties of the program, the obsolete and radical changes in use during the life of the building – to verify the potential of uncertainty in the postindustrial society and contemporary design strategies.
