Abstract: | En la arquitectura de Manuel de las Casas (Talavera de la Reina 1940 -
Madrid 2014) hay una clara invariante de proyecto que se manifiesta de
forma temprana ya desde su opera prima, la Casa Moro (1963-1971), el
dominio de la traza de la planta como herramienta de proyecto.
La Casa Moro solo necesita de la planta, no tiene alzado, la sección es el
acomodo al suelo, que es la planta. Una primera obra que delata unos
intereses compositivos influenciados por el 'organicismo', el 'brutalismo'
y la certeza compositiva que asegura la racionalidad de la construcción
vernácula. Es un trazado de un sistema de fábricas de muros de carga
paralelos, un pentagrama de variaciones de crujías de vano corto, donde
la diagonal unas veces amplia y otras acorta las distancias. Una arquitectura
que confía en la construcción como soporte de la composición,
invariante que acompañará a sus mejores obras, proyectadas desde el
gobierno de la planta, que aparece casi como un manifiesto ya en esta
primera obra. In all the architecture by Manuel de las Casas (Talavera de la Reina 1940 - Madrid 2014) we can find a common invariant that will be present in a very clear way since his first project: Moro House (1963-1971). This invariable is the ability to use the drawing of the plan as the main tool for all the project. The Moro House is a clear example of this idea. It doesn't have an elevation, it only needs the plan. The section is created as it touches the floor, becoming the plan as well. This debut construction unveils its influences on its composition: Organic Architecture, Brutalism and the fact that this composition guarantees the rationalism of vernacular construction. Its outline is based on a system of parallel load-bearing walls, a pentagram created by varying the distance between these walls so that the diagonal sometimes makes distances seem longer and other times shorter. An architecture that is confident with its construction as the key of the composition. This idea will be always present, especially in his best projects, and from the beginning of his career: The plan has the leading role. |
