Abstract:
Urban theory has traditionally characterized the city as a “whole” composed of “parts.” This lecture challenges this relationship in the context of the Historic City, posing the idea that the “whole” is contained in the “part” through the interdetails concept. The presentation focuses on Barcelona—the first-ever named Historic City—and the study of its tile vaults. This construction technique, examined as an interdetail, connects the various intervention scales in the old ensemble and its heritage integrity. From this multi-scalar approach, this lecture presents various heritage projects such as the Sant Antoni Market adaptive reuse in Barcelona, the Canadian Parliament digital modelling in Ottawa, and the Kuñotambo Church documentation in Peru. Additionally, this approach is underlined as a fertile source for architectural education and academic research with various projects that reflect on scale, materials, sustainability, and urban conservation. Ultimately, this lecture posits that interdetails have the potentiality to become historic urban generators by telling us about the story of its making, placing, and dimensioning, but also of its conserving.
