A marquise do Parque Ibirapuera e a materialização do conceito do entre: arquitetura como suporte de ações

Architecture as a holder of actions. The history of philosophy has always shown intersections of interest with architecture, as for instance its try to show architecture as an aesthetics form in Hegel’s Aesthetics, or as seen in more general studies about art and aesthetics like Heidegger’s The origin of the Work of Art. More recently, the joint role between architecture and philosophy has fallen to Jacques Derrida, “the philosopher of Desconstruction”. Considering “leitmotiv” as a daring pretension of a contribuition to the processes of vitalization of human “places”, this given article manages to make a study lightened by the concept of the in-between, taken from Derrida’s philosophy of the Desconstruction, about the possible “role” some architectonical spaces may perform – in this case the Marquise of the Parque Ibirapuera – on the forming, if ever momentary or not, of “contemporary agoras”, in the sense of being places of unconditional hospitality, intensificating or reinforcing exchange, as well as emancipating and/or creative acts. In a parallel direction, this given study intends to consider the rising of another question: do the standards adopted for the analysis and therefore comprehension of architectonical works known as modern ones continue to be valid and accurate? Or in other words, should we analyse and comprehend those works through principals belonging to the Modern Movement only , or would a revaluation and enlargement of these standards be possible? Here, the try to analyse a “modern” work through a concept derived from the theory of Desconstruction aims exacly a questioning of this very vision, while banishing it from its domain and inserting it in our time, instead of keeping it attached only to a specific moment in history.
