Abstract
Este texto nos descubre la Casa Ugalde asociada
a la personalidad de aquél joven Coderch que,
entre la razón y la sin—razón, alejado de certezas,
dudaba con mano temblorosa, sin querer atrapar
los sueños. Una casa pre_sentida, desde el primer
encuentro con el lugar, donde su capacidad para
imaginar la vida nos remite a situaciones presentes
en el inconsciente colectivo. La casa se muestra
como un suceso complejo que regenera nuestra
tradición mediterránea, con palabras de siempre,
envueltas en nuevos significados.
Narra la casa como una experiencia completa
que, desde la llegada, transita por los lugares que
él imaginó, alrededor de aquella mesa donde
colocó la silla, para hacerla suya. La casa nos
devuelve a aquella ciudadela enroscada, compleja
y laberíntica, llena de escaleras, terrazas, azoteas,
patios y umbrales de penumbra, tan presentes en
nuestra cultura.
Los croquis, de elaboración propia, que acompañan
la narración, muestran el abrazo desenfadado entre
las dos geometrías, la natural y la impuesta, fruto
del intenso diálogo que el arquitecto mantuvo con
el lugar. A través de esta superposición, puede
observarse la maestría controlada de aquella
aparente informalidad geométrica, donde subyace
ese difícil y misterioso orden natural, al que pocos
están invitados.
No conozco muchas casas así. Coderch tampoco…
This text reveals us the Ugalde House connected with the personality of that young Coderch who, between reason and unreason, far from certainties, doubted with a trembling hand, not wishing to catch dreams. An envisaged house, from the first encounter with the space, where his ability to imagine life refers us to atavistic situations. The house is shown as a complex phenomenon that regenerates our Mediterranean tradition, using traditional words wrapped with new meanings. The house is described as a complete experience which, from the entrance, moves through the places he imagined, around that table where he placed a chair, to make it his own. It bring us back to that twisted, complex and labyrinthine citadel, full of stairs, terraces, roofs, yards and shadowed thresholds, so present in our culture. His own sketches, included along the article, show the light—hearted embrace between the two geometries, the natural and the imposed, as a result of the intense dialogue that the architect maintained with the space. Through this overlapping, the controlled expertise of that apparent geometric informality can be observed, where that complex and mysterious natural order underlies, to which few are invited. I do not know many houses like this one. Neither does Coderch…
