Espaço e forma : entre Louis Kahn e Steven Holl
No full textDissertação de mestrado integrado em Arquitectura, Universidade Lusíada de Lisboa, 2014Exame público realizado em 23 de Abril de 2014A presente dissertação propõe assimilar questões para nós fundamentais da arquitectura. Interessa-nos assim questionar como esta se constitui e se desenvolve a partir de dois sistemas: espacial e formal.
A forma e o espaço são temas gerais e complexos na arquitectura, pelo que fazemos a sua distinção através da referência a dois arquitectos: Louis Kahn e Steven Holl.
Para melhor compreensão dos processos arquitectónicos inerentes a cada arquitecto, optou-se por um enquadramento histórico no âmbito de um sistema espacial na época da arquitectura do Modernismo, e um sistema formal compreendido no Pós-Modernismo. Em que respectivamente se enquadram Kahn e Holl.
É conhecida a concretização espacial de Kahn pelo método ordenador dos espaços que servem e os servidos. Steven Holl compõe uma organização formal por intermédio de um moldar dos espaços direccionados para a sensibilidade da experiência de um indivíduo no lugar e na própria arquitectura.
O interesse particular em entender estas estratégias é resumido nas intervenções do artista plástico Gordon Matta-Clark, onde o mesmo demonstra a obtenção de espaço e forma pela supressão de matéria de edifícios pré-existentes

Steven Pinker on language and thought
No full textEducação Superior::Linguística, Letras e Artes::LinguísticaThis video presents an exclusive preview of Steven Pinker's book: the stuff of thought. The author looks at language and how it expresses what goes on in our minds and how the words we choose communicate much more than we realize. For Steven Pinker, the brilliance of the mind lies in the way it uses just two processes to turn the finite building blocks of our language into infinite meanings. The first is metaphor: we take a concrete idea and use it as a stand-in for abstract thoughts. The second is combination: we combine ideas according to rules, like the syntactic rules of language, to create new thoughts out of old one
