“En la arquitectura hace falta menos ego y más miedo” Con 81 años, la arquitecta y urbanista Denise Scott Brown (Nkana, Zambia, 1931), crecida en Johanesburgo, formada en Roma y Londres y afincada en Filadelfia, ha viajado recientemente a México, donde la entrevistamos, para presentar la primera edición en español de su libro Armada de palabras (Arquine).
En 1991, cuando su socio y marido, el arquitecto Robert Venturi, viajó al DF a recoger el prestigioso Premio Pritzker, ella no lo acompañó. Entendió que ese galardón debía haber sido también para ella, porque hacía 26 años que firmaban conjuntamente sus edificios y eran las ideas de Scott Brown sobre la importancia de lo ordinario –hoy recuperadas en el currículo académico de universidades como Columbia– las que armaron algunos de sus libros míticos como Aprendiendo de Las Vegas.
En las últimas semanas, una petición promovida por estudiantes graduadas de Harvard en change.org para que Scott Brown comparta el Pritzker de su marido lleva acumuladas más de 5.000 firmas. P: ¿Por eso se fue?

Un altre smart business. La recent celebració del segon Smart City Expo World Congress, al recinte firal de Barcelona, ha tornat a traslladar als mitjans de comunicació de masses un concepte que porta ja uns anys de gestació: la smart city (després del primer congrés La Trama Urbana ja va fer unes reflexions que podeu trobar a l’editorial de desembre de 2011).
