About Adrian Streich Architekten

Title: Adrian Streich Architekten. Bauten + Projekte 2001-2009 Architecture without rethorics. Alison and Peter Smithson coined this explanation, a statement which over time has become a manifesto. A manifesto aimed at producing an honest, straightforward architecture that, with a reasonable and economical use of the most affordable and simple materials, is capable of responding to social demands by solving problems within a complex and changing urban framework. Just three words, a brief phrase marked in the memory and in the cultural roots of many architects who, in one way or another, feel that we are heirs or intellectual debtors of the British couple. For an architecture without rhetoric, what a marvellous resistance to a discourse that at that time was already obsolete and moribund, the most functionalist hygienism and inconsiderate of the historical heritage of the Charter of Athens. And what a marvellous resistance also to the stylistic, Manichean and futile verbiage of the times that were to come. Architecture without rethorics. Alison and Peter Smithson acuñaron esta explicación, declaración de intenciones quizá, que con el paso del tiempo se ha convertido en todo un manifiesto. Un manifiesto encaminado a producir una arquitectura honesta, directa, que con un uso razonable y económico de los materiales más asequibles y sencillos sea capaz de responder a demandas sociales resolviendo problemas dentro de un complejo y cambiante marco urbanístico. Tres palabras apenas, una breve frase marcada en la memoria y en las raíces culturales de muchos arquitectos que, de alguna forma u otra, nos sentimos herederos o deudores intelectuales de la pareja británica. Por una arquitectura sin retórica, qué maravillosa resistencia frente a un discurso ya en aquel momento obsoleto y moribundo del higienismo más funcionalista y desconsiderado con la herencia histórica de la Carta de Atenas.
