Abstract
La silenciosa presencia del gran pabellón en el
Corona Park de la Feria Mundial Nueva York
(1964) es representativa de la propuesta de Javier
Carvajal de una ciudad alternativa integrada
entre la naturaleza. Materiales industriales y
artesanales son rítmicamente repetidos junto
a los contenidos expositivos en una síntesis de
valores culturales en la que el modelo nórdico,
integrador de lo cotidiano y natural, se suma
a la monumentalidad y sensorialidad de la
tradición interpretada en clave contemporánea.
Especialmente de la Alhambra, reconocible
desde el almohadillado‑mural del revestimiento
prefabricado de su hermética volumetría
exterior al paraíso natural del interior formado
por el patio-jardín y el firmamento del techo
colgado, en una fluida atmósfera llena de
misterio, sombra y contraluz amueblada con
la acolchada butaca Granada. La crítica a
un crecimiento urbano deshumanizado, la
técnica aplicada a espacios hechos para vivir
orientada desde la adaptación climática, la
revisión cultural del Manifiesto de la Alhambra
y la afirmación de principios de los maestros
modernos, alinean la propuesta del Pabellón
de Nueva York de Javier Carvajal con los
aspectos críticos y humanistas (Ockman,
1993) que caracterizaron, en el significativo
período de transición entre modernidad
y post‑modernismo, a la arquitectura
internacional de vanguardia.
The silent presence of the great pavilion in Corona Park at the New York World’s Fair (1964) is representative of Javier Carvajal’s proposal for an alternative city integrated into nature. Industrial and artisan materials are rhythmically repeated to the exhibition contents in a synthesis of cultural values in which the Nordic model, integrating the everyday and natural, is added to the monumentality and sensoriality of tradition interpreted in a contemporary key. Especially of the Alhambra, recognizable from the cushioned-mural of the prefabricated cladding of its hermetic exterior volume to the natural paradise of the interior formed by the courtyard-garden and the suspended ceiling firmament, in a fluid atmosphere full of mystery, shadow and backlighting furnished with the padded Granada armchair. The criticism of a dehumanized urban growth, the technique applied to spaces made for living oriented from climate adaptation, the cultural revision of the Alhambra Manifesto and the affirmation of the principles of the modern masters, align the proposal of the New York Pavilion by Javier Carvajal with the critical and humanist aspects (Ockman, 1993) that characterized, in the significant period of transition between modernity and post-modernism, the international avant-garde architecture.
