Abstract
El final de la Segunda Guerra Mundial situó el
espacio doméstico en el centro de una nueva
revolución tecnológica, económica y cultural,
en el estandarte del triunfo estadounidense
sobre el resto de países del mundo. Las
consecuencias demográficas de la expansión
económica de posguerra desataron un boom
de la construcción de nueva vivienda que
trajo consigo el desarrollo de una industria
específicamente dedicada a la fabricación
de muebles y todo tipo de artículos para el
hogar. Arquitectos y diseñadores, revistas
de arquitectura, instituciones culturales
y gremios de empresarios orquestaron
entusiastas campañas de promoción de
aquellos nuevos productos que cristalizarían
en el desarrollo de unos interiores domésticos
esencialmente contemporáneos. El presente
artículo analiza la contribución a la creación
de aquella nueva imagen a través del discurso
visual de los anuncios publicados en la
revista Arts & Architecture, un medio clave en
aquella apuesta por la arquitectura y diseño
de vanguardia en la escena local del sur de
California.
The end of the Second World War set the domestic space at the center of a new technological, economic and cultural revolution, in the epitome of the American triumph over the rest of the countries of the world. The demographic consequences of the post-war economic expansion unleashed a boom in the construction of new housing that led to the development of an industry specifically dedicated to the manufacture of furniture and all kinds of household items. Architects and designers, architecture magazines, cultural institutions and business associations orchestrated enthusiastic campaigns to promote new products that would crystallize in the development of essentially contemporary domestic interiors. This article analyzes the contribution to the creation of that new image through the visual discourse of the advertisements published in Arts & Architecture, a key medium in that commitment to architecture and avant-garde design in the local scene of Southern California.
