| contents | Ernö Goldfinger and 2 Willow Road: inhabiting the modern utopia. Hampstead, London Catalina Mejía Arquitectura modernism domesticity inhabitation Ernö Goldfinger 1-3 Willow Road, houses built by Ernö Goldfinger facing Hampstead Heath in London, stand out as a paradigmatic example of Modernist British Architecture. Displacing traditional notions and ideals of a modernist house and of modernist inhabitation, what they ‘are’ goes somehow against to what they represent. Domesticity as well as concepts such as private and public, or exterior and interior are dislocated. Considered as one of the most distinguished manifestations of Modernity, in 2 Willow Road Modernism is suggested, but also disrupted by postmodern gestures. In a lifelong process that fills the space with collected objects, modernity is replaced by a more bourgeois environment: the atmosphere experienced in the interior is that of an inhabited collage closer to a nineteenth century dwelling. The heterogeneity of random order and arbitrary juxtapositions is, for this case, an aesthetic procedure that most likely legitimates Goldfinger’s beliefs and understanding of what life is. What 2 Willow Road actually testifies is about the romantic utopia of Modern inhabitation. 2010 artículo científico 2215-969X https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=341630316009 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=3416 Dearq application/pdf Universidad de los Andes Dearq (Colombia) Num.7 |
