Abstract
Ningún diccionario de términos arquitectónicos
incluye en su nómina de palabras significativas
el término columpio y, quizá por similares
razones, es infrecuente encontrar en las
bibliotecas de arquitectura referencias a él: solo
unos pocos de los que se han ocupado de ella,
en la teoría o en la práctica, lo han considerado
objeto y asunto de su competencia, materia
de su disciplina. En la aproximación que este
ensayo plantea se reivindica el columpio como
arquitectura: como estructura elemental que
no necesita cerramientos ni cubiertas ni precisa
de otros componentes arquitectónicos complejos
para instaurar un espacio, para definir
y cualificar un lugar; como elocuente edificio
simbólico que cumple con suma eficacia la función
para la que fue ideado. Para el estudio del
columpio se recurre en este análisis a algunos
casos ejemplares contenidos, además de en la
arquitectura contemporánea, en la pintura y en
la cinematografía, omitiendo lo mucho que han
dicho de él la literatura y la fotografía, investigándolo
en la obra de Navarro Baldeweg y en
la de Prouvé, tanto en la de Cranach como en la
de Renoir, en la de Fragonard y en la de Goya,
así como en una película esencial de Kurosawa
y en otra de Antonioni.
No dictionary of architecture includes in its list of significant words the term swing and maybe for similar reasons it is infrequent to find references to it in architecture libraries: only a few of those who have attended to it, in theory or in practice, have considered it an object and an issue within their proficiency, a subject of their discipline. In the approach that this essay presents, the swing is claimed as architecture: as elemental structure that doesn´t need walls nor roofs, nor other complex architectural components to establish a space, to define and qualify a place; as an eloquent symbolic building that satisfies very effectively the function it was designed for. In order to realise a study of the swing, this analysis appeals to some exemplary cases belonging, in addition to contemporary architecture, to painting and cinematography, omitting how much literature and photography have said about it, researching it in the work of Navarro Baldeweg and Prouvé, in Cranach´s work and in Renoir´s, in Fragonard´s and in Goya´s and as well in an essential movieby Kurosawa and another one by Antonioni.
