1 BAKHTIN, ARCHITECTONICS AND ARCHITECTURE Josep Muntañola Thornberg. Architect. Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya Av. Diagonal 649, Barcelona Magda Saura Carulla. Architect and historian of Art. Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya Av. Diagonal 649, Barcelona Supported by Research Project EDU February 2011 KEY WORDS: architectural education, architectural cognition, architectural theories. Starting with the Professor Holquist s extraordinary introduction in the translation of the early Bakhtin s writings into English, Art and Answerability 1, and the rare texts in which Bakhtin talks about architecture, I will try to analyze the significance of Bakhtin s dialogic work in terms of architecture and very specially, in relation to the present situation of architecture and urban planning after the huge impact of computer design. My contribution starts with the relationships between these writings and the work of Lewis Mumford, Jean Piaget, etc., who during the same years and without direct connections uncovered until today, developed parallel sociological concepts and similar philosophical aesthetic ideas. A first link to Aristotle is at that point necessary, in spite of Bakhtin s clear intentions for detaching himself from classical Greek philosophy. Secondly, I will comment recent works in PhD thesis in architecture that have intended to apply for dialogical concepts in architecture and urban planning. Finally, the basic concepts of architectonics, chronotope, etc., will be used in relation to architecture, taking care - as Bakhtin did - of the qualitative difference in between architecture and the rest of arts, since architecture - as Aristotle understood very soon - is in between art, science and politics, and in those three basic dimensions of human life architecture is, in fact, a stranger. With the inestimable help of Paul Ricoeur s work, a philosopher who also wrote a very few texts in architecture during the last days of his life, only a few texts but incredibly dense, modern and clear 2, with his help, I repeat, I will try to define how the dialogical 1 I refer to Art and Answeribility (early philosophical writings). Texas University press, I was allowed by Paul Ricoeur to translate part of his writings into Spanish. See Architectonics nº4 Architecture and Hermeneutics, Edicions UPC, Barcelona,
2 philosophy by Bakhtin and his Architectonics of Answerability can be an excellent theory for architectural and planning design today, whose activities have been deeply transformed by the use of computer and by the enormous speed of technological development, by globalization and finally by digital communication. The conclusions will try to show how architectonics - the deep aesthetic content of art in general according to Bakhtin - is the aesthetic structure bellow any building, city, etc. Architects situated in the empty place between art, science and politics (ethics) should take advantage of the way dialogics analyze this intersection between art, science and ethics (politics), in order to understand the different architectures when architectonics is either eliminated or transformed in pure science or pure political intentions. Just look to architecture today and you will see which architectonics we are building up, and if you uncover which architectonics relay bellow some parts of 3 our cities, then you will discover why they are so poor. The critical of Bakhtin s thought about the lack of clarity in this distinction between the cognitive, the aesthetical and the ethical components of human life is, at this point, an inestimable help for architects and - almost one hundred years earlier - the writings by Bakhtin forecast today s formalistic nature of the material esthetics totally present in the architectural and planning design of contemporary practices and theories. Finally, thanks to Bakhtin s architectural cognition and logics, architecture can be liberated from a yes/no rigid argumentation, so often used by architects, in order to start a new logic of spatial configuration, where identity and difference substitute the yes and the no, opening in this way a complex range of architectural variations and human places, where chronotope s force will be clearly understood. 3 See Architectonics nº13 Architecture and Dialogics, Edicions UPC, Barcelona,
3 CHAPTER ONE From the very beginning of his work Mikhail Bakhtin had a very clear final goal: to fight against the formalistic view over art, science and politics, defined by him in the artistic realm as material aesthetics, in order to attain this goal he conceived the key concepts of: architectonics, chronotope, heteroglossia, dialogy, and a lot more. All of them constitute a tool against the view that art and science are the same thing and also against the view that, in both cases, the author has no ethic and politic responsibility for his artistic or scientific actions (or deeds as he used to say). I have observed these days in Barcelona to my surprise, that a lot of professors have convinced students of architecture to accept that architects should not be blamed at all for the urban planning corruption or the financial crisis linked to architectural and urban planning design in Spain. They say that architects have been simply victims of a wrong productive and global political system, totally alien words to architectural and urban design itself and, I guess that Mikhail Bakhtin would have been also as surprised as myself have been. Thirty years of Spanish democracy has produced, again, a clear and very dangerous fascist and conservative young generation, that can not realize the very dangerous trap that lies below a global monolithic and monological model of urban planning speculative development, leading, again, to the right wing Parthies control and to anti-democratic social forces and institutions, including the control of freedom of speech. So architectonics is different from architecture and just because it is different it can be made a theoretical and practical revolution in relation to the present architecture and urban planning practices and theories. Because we should start to say clearly that thirty thousand architects in Spain have carried a lot of money before crisis (the bubble), with four million buildings, now empty, and nobody in the profession has criticized this ecological and social speculative process until now. Of course, now architects dream about a new financial development, in order to be, again, the rich victims and slaves of an inevitable global process of production and political corruption. Thanks to a few resistant professors and students with some PhD thesis and Master Programs 1, dialogical views about architecture are growing, and we can now look for architectural design and planning alternatives, however it will be extremely difficult to reinforce these ideas, in a similar way that was difficult a hundred years ago. Men step always upon the same stones, so we never learn enough from historical mistakes. 1 The international Review Arquitectonics: Mind, Land and Society (22 volumes) is a dialogical product and a lot of PhD dissertations are important examples. See 3
4 CHAPTER TWO THE ARCHITECTONIC CORE OF ARCHITECTURE Bakhtin himself advises that architecture has no implicit heroes, and that aesthetics have in this case, an architectonic structure without heroes, only with potential heroes 2, that are the users, in a similar way that readers are to literary aesthetics, but very different too. These potential heroes play a role in the authors designs (or architects) in the building itself as a work of art, and in the use of buildings and cities. All of this is clearly outlined in the Concluding Remarks (fifteen pages) written in , a fascinating summary, again, against all kind of a formalistic way to deal with ethical and political significances of aesthetic processes of communication, as was the case of student of architecture in Barcelona. In these fundamental pages Bakhtin warns again about the confusion between the role of the author in the work of art (the building) and the personal psychology of the architect, leading to an aesthetic evaluation of the building only as the conscience of the genial character and attitude of the architect-author. He also warns about another misunderstanding: the confusion between the object (the construction) and the aesthetic value (the architectonics ), making the object meaningless because it is analyzed without its cultural, historical and social context, defining a work of art as a new creative chronotope which is able to produce a new con-text fitting very well with the hermeneutic analysis of Paul Ricoeur about the action full of signification because it fits with a historical and geographical context on its own 4. Finally he advises about the confusion between the potential hero (the aesthetic dimension of use) and the use without cultural dimensions, for example the financial exclusive spatial use is not the unique potential hero, and if it is the unique dimension of use, then architecture has no aesthetic dimensions and becomes a pure technical and financial product. At this point, the Concluding Remarks ends with and almost enigmatic definition: The works (of art) faces outward away from itself toward the listenerreader (the user) and to certain extend this anticipates possible reactions to itself. Not far from Husserl-Ricoeur definition of the other into itself, this definition opens a new theory of architecture based upon a dialogical process of architectural and planning design creation 5. 2 Muntañola, J. ed.

Cambridge University Press, See book by A. Magnaghi: El proyecto local. Arquitectonics Review nº23,
5 It is very important to notice that these three distinctions defined by Bakhtin in this Concluding Remarks written in the last years of his life, are based upon the need for a critical distance able to start an analytic and dialogical process. 5
6 CAPTER THREE TOWARDS A NEW DIALOGICAL ARCHITECTURAL AND PLANNING DESIGN THEORIES AND PRACTICES: THREE EXAMPLES The three different examples briefly described here intend to represent the theoretical and practical energy of a dialogic imagination in the architectural realm. All the architectural and planning design activities could be analyzed in that way opening a heterodesign complex web of spatiotemporal chronotopes, and as Bakhtin himself wrote, this chronotopic web of more or less creative design forces will develop in between real and represented worlds: the real and the represented world resist fusion, however immutable the presence of this categorical boundary line between them, they are nevertheless indissolubly tied up with each other and find themselves in continual mutual interaction: uninterrupted exchange of matter between living organisms and the environment that surrounds them. As long as the organism lives, it resists a fusion with the environment, but if it is torn out of its environment it dies. The work and the world represented in it enter the real world and enrich it, and the real world enters the work and its subsequent life, in a continual renewing of the work through the creative perception of listeners and readers. Of course this process of exchange is itself chronotopic: it occurs first and foremost in the historically developing social world, but without ever losing contact with changing historical space. We might even speak of a special creative chronotopic inside which this exchange between work and life occurs, and which constitutes the distinctive life of work. 3 This is a description that links dialogics, planning and ecology with an astonishing clarity. Patrick Geddes and Lewis Mumford should have read this Concluding Remarks by Bakhtin. In 1981 Mumford wrote to me what I was writing fifty years ago has, in recent years, found the audience I have been working for among the new generation here in America and other countries too that gives me great satisfaction, and encourages me to face the unknowable future, which otherwise has, alas!, become darker than ever 6. However, this text by Bakhtin was published in English in 1998 too late for him to read, even though the Russian text was written in 1973, long time before. However a very difficult problem arises when compare poetics in literary works and in architecture, if we do not take into consideration the total different chronotopic cultural structure between the real and the represented world in both cases. Bakhtin insists upon the identity, in poetry, between the poet and the language he uses, the dialogical dimension of the poem remains inside a singular linguistic quality in each poet, making dialogy consummated in the poem that can be read for everybody 6 From a personal letter by Lewis Mumford written to me the 6 th July
7 from different places, nevertheless in architecture the author of a place is not there in the same way. The architect is a potential user in relation to the potential users in the building, and this makes architecture and literary poetry totally different and simultaneously deeply related. Architectural design cannot be translated into a poem and a poem cannot be written by architecture. We have the Babel Tower as an old story preventing such madness. However, in both cases, the consummation of a rich human experience can be either written or built and can be either read or used. Even language and architecture have a common origin in life, they have a very different roles, dialogically linked, but two or more people cannot be at the same time in the same place and social interaction has a very different role in theatre, in architecture or in poetry, and this is a dialogic structure too. 7
8 EXAMPLE ONE: CHILDREN CONCEPTIONS OF PLACES TO LIVE IN These two cities represent two different chronotopes and two totally different creative chronotopes, one dialogical School A another monological School B. both schools are in Barcelona and the experience has taken place at the same socio-historical time. Differences are generated from totally different way education: School A based on competition and lack of social interaction between children, School B based upon cooperation and cultural social activities such as theatre, cultural events and social rites and celebrations (see notes 6, 7, 8). School A: Dialogical School 8
9 School B: Monological School School A: Dialogical School School B: Monological School 9

11 EXAMPLE TWO: HOUSE IN ARENYS D EMPORDA (NORTH CATALONIA) This house is a creative chronotope by mixing two different architectures, the old vernacular and the avant-garde abstraction. Four centuries, as Bakhtin indicates, are not any obstacle for dialogical creativity as soon as the author (in this case Catalan architect Magda Saura) knows both architectures and mixes them in a creative way in order to obtain a new architectonics. This is a good example of polyphonic dialogics between potential heroes belonging to different worlds 7 7 See Muntañola, J. Las Formas del Tiempo. Abecedario,

13 EXAMPLE THREE: BUILDINGS IN THE IBA BERLIN Building A, by Peter Eisenman, one of the best-known architects in the world, shows a very interesting case of monologic architecture as the result of a model in plastic that was known in all the world as a new formal way of design with a cubist architecture organized by a red ribbon line. There is no dialogy between Berlin, the historical and geographical context and the building. If the model had an architectonic, it disappeared in the construction since the model was a formal theory not a chronotopic structure. The red line in the building has no meaning at all. Building B is a building that starts a creative dialog with the next building the one remaining old building after the Second World War that destroyed the whole street. Both architects, almost unknown, presented the model a in Paris exhibit as a dialogue between the two buildings (I was then convinced that the chronotopic relation between the buildings was not only a dream of my mind). It is said that they have not followed this professional dialogic way of design, not surprisingly as architects are not interested upon dialogics at all. However, in the last slide you can see the meaningless huge building behind. It was designed some years later, again, without any chronotopic creative design intentions. The subtle relation between these two buildings has been totally transformed by this huge insignificant piece of architecture, and architectonics changed again for the monologic dimension of design, in spite of absurd colors in the façade trying to escape from the boring effect of the building. This is a global example of architectonics that can be everywhere and nowhere Building A: Social housing project by Peter Eisenman,

15 CHAPTER FOUR CONCLUSIONS: SPECIFIC MODERNITY AND THE LOCAL GLOBAL ARCHITECTURAL AND PLANNING DESIGN THEORIES AND PRACTICES Now we can go back to my first chapter where I was surprised by the reactions of students of architecture today in Barcelona (just recall of this situation in twenty years in Spain social and political situation ). There are the local and global dialogical alternatives at the same time as a unique monological globalism based on financial international economic and political organizations. These alternatives are real, and they represent as well some utopian possible new worlds that I have called the worlds of Specific Modernities 7. Modernities built with architectural and planning design strategies by using the natural, social and historical environmental forces of each place. If architecture and planning design should conceive creative chronotopes, monological unique global architecture and urban planning srategies cannot build this creativity. As in children s architecture, social interaction between the real and the represented world are the unique forces able to generate creative chronotopes. The use of computers do not change these facts, it simply enlarges the power of both the dialogic and the monologic imagination of the architectural and urban planning design activities. But this will need another article 8. 8 See Muntañola, J. and Muntanyola, D. Architecture in the wild. International Congress of the EAAE, and AIA, Washington, June
