Abstract
La aparición de la revista Perspecta en el
año 1952 es clave para entender la revisión
de la arquitectura moderna en la década de
los cincuenta. Se trata de una revista que
aparece vinculada a la Universidad de Yale
en un momento en el que dicha institución
quiere recuperar la historia en su currículo
académico y cuya comunidad de estudiantes y
profesores se interesa por conocer la obra de los
tres maestros de la modernidad sin renunciar
a que esa revisión sea crítica, aunque fuera a
través de figuras muchas de ellas vinculadas
a la propia universidad como Louis Kahn,
George Howe, Vincent Scully, Paul Rudolph,
Philip Johnson o Henry-Russell Hitchcock, que
publicarían con asiduidad en sus páginas, a la
vez que desarrollan una carrera profesional en
paralelo, lo cual duplica su capacidad de influir
en el futuro de la arquitectura, al operar desde
el ámbito académico y el profesional.
A través de la publicación de un gran
número de artículos, muchos de ellos con la
ambición de recuperar esa mirada crítica con
el Estilo Internacional y la historia reciente de
la arquitectura moderna, la revista Perspecta
sirve como herramienta de validación
histórica inicial de la arquitectura de la década
posterior, incluyendo la deriva posmoderna.
The appearance of Perspecta in 1952 is key to understanding the revision of modern architecture in the fifties. It is a magazine that is born linked to Yale University at a time when the institution wants to recover history in its academic curriculum and whose community of students and professors is interested in knowing the work of the three masters of modernity without giving up to a critical review, although through figures, many of them bound to the university itself such as Louis Kahn, George Howe, Vincent Scully, Paul Rudolph, Philip Johnson or Henry-Russell Hitchcock, who regularly published in its pages, whereas they develop a professional career in parallel, which doubles their ability to influence the future of architecture, operating from the academic and professional realms. Through the publication of a large number of articles, many of them with the ambition to recover that critical look at the International Style and the recent history of modern architecture, Perspecta magazine serves as an initial historical validation tool for the architecture of the following decade, including postmodernist drift.
