Virtuosismo e identidad gráfica de Antonio Fernández Alba Bernal López-Sanvicente, María Amparo A través de esta selección de dibujos transitamos por el itinerario creador del arquitecto intelectual, y del artista y maestro Antonio Fernández Alba. Bocetos, croquis, axonometrías, perspectivas, plantas, alzados y secciones; todos ellos son un ejemplo de su singularidad en el dominio de la técnica y de los sistemas de representación del dibujo arquitectónico. Cada dibujo nos traslada a la dimensión artística del arquitecto trascendiendo la representación del proyecto de arquitectura y, en conjunto nos muestran la identidad gráfica de un arquitecto que durante toda su trayectoria profesional se dedicó al dibujo con pasión y con profusión en todas las etapas del proyecto de arquitectura. El conjunto de dibujos que acompaña este artículo nos muestra cómo el imaginario de formas del arquitecto encuentra en el dibujo el cauce para materializarse. El itinerario del proyecto se inicia con los balbuceos de una mano vibrante explorando las geometrías que traduzcan los requerimientos funcionales del proyecto en espacios modernos, útiles y de una belleza clásica. En los planos se expresa ya la geometría conquistada con una maestría innovadora en la combinación de los sistemas de representación. El arquitecto artista nos lleva así desde el plano como fragmento del proyecto al conjunto de la arquitectura conectando en cada dibujo distintas partes del edificio; secciones que son perspectivas, plantas que son axonometrías, alzados abatidos sobre la planta o plantas de cubierta elevadas. Ninguno de ellos nos deja indiferentes, sino que nos interpelan a adentrarnos en su mundo y explorar más allá del dibujo.; Through this selection of drawings, we travel trought the creative journey of the intellectual architect, artist, and master Antonio Fernández Alba. Sketches, drawings, axonometric drawings, perspectives, plans, elevations, and sections; all of them are an example of his uniqueness in the mastery of the technique and the representation systems of architectural drawing. Each drawing takes us to the artistic dimension of the architect, transcending the mere representation of archi-tectural projects and, together, they show us the graphic identity of an architect who throughout his professional career dedicated himself to drawing with passion and profusion in all stages of the architectural project. The collection of drawings accompanying this article demonstrates how the architect’s imaginary forms find in drawing the channel to materialize. The project journey begins with the hesitant yet vibrant strokes of a hand exploring geometries that translate the functional requirements of the project into modern and useful spaces imbued with classical beauty. The plans already express geometries mastered with innovative expertise, combining diverse systems of rep-resentation.Thus, the artist-architect guides us from individual drawings, fragments of the project, to the architecture as a whole, connecting different parts of the building in each piece: sections that are also perspectives, plans that double as axonometric views, elevations laid onto plans, or roof plans elevated above the rest. None of these drawings leave us indifferent; but rather they challenge us to enter their world and explore beyond the drawings themselves.; Através desta seleção de desenhos viajamos pelo itinerário criativo do arquiteto intelectual, artista e professor Antonio Fernández Alba. Esboços, croquis, axonometrias, perspectivas, plantas, elevações e cortes; todos eles são um exemplo da sua singularidade no domínio da técnica e dos sistemas de representação do desenho arquitetônico. Cada desenho nos transporta à dimensão artística do arquiteto, transcendendo à simples representação do projeto de arquitetura. Conjuntamente, revelam a identidade gráfica de um arquiteto que, ao longo de seu percurso profissional, dedicou-se ao desenho com paixão e profusão em todas as etapas do processo arquitetônico.O conjunto de desenhos que acompanha este artigo mostra-nos como o imaginário de formas do arquiteto encontra no desenho o canal para se materializar. O itinerário do projeto começa com os primeiros traços hesitantes, mas vibrantes, de uma mão que explora geometrias capazes de traduzir as exigências funcionais do projeto em espaços modernos, úteis e de uma beleza clássica. Nos planos a geometria conseguida já se expressa com mestria inovadora na combinação de sistemas de re-presentação. O arquiteto-artista nos conduz, assim, dos desenhos como fragmentos do projeto, à arquitetura como um todo, conectando em cada obra diferentes partes do edifício: secções que também são perspectivas, plantas que se convertem em vistas axonométricas, elevações projetadas sobre a planta ou plantas de telhado elevadas. Nenhum destes desenhos nos deixa indiferentes; pelo contrário, interpelam-nos a entrar em seu mundo e a explorar para além do desenho.

Antonio Fernández Alba y el dibujo de arquitectura Bernal López-Sanvicente, María Amparo La dimensión artística e intelectual del arquitecto español Antonio Fernández Alba (Salamanca 1927-Madrid 2024), catedrático de la Escuela de Arquitectura de Madrid, miembro de la Real Academia Española y de la Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando ha sido objeto de numerosos reconocimientos durante su trayectoria profesional, que culminaron con la concesión de la Medalla de Oro de la Arquitectura del Consejo Superior de los Colegios de Arquitectos de España en 2002 y Premio Nacional de Arquitectura de España en 2003. En este artículo se profundiza en la relación de Antonio Fernández Alba con el dibujo que fue su lenguaje para crear y expresar la arquitectura. El análisis del ingente legado gráfico de apuntes, croquis y planos de arquitectura, así como los numerosos escritos del arquitecto revelan la importancia que para él tenía el acto de dibujar en el proceso ideación de la arquitectura. Además, Fernández Alba reconocía la autonomía estética del dibujo como una forma de expresión de la arquitectura superando su condición instrumental de documento técnico necesario para el desarrollo constructivo del edificio.; The artistic and intellectual dimension of the Spanish architect Antonio Fernández Alba (Salamanca 1927-Madrid 2024), professor at the School of Architecture of Madrid, member of the Royal Spanish Academy and the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Fernando, has been recognized during his professional career, culminating with the award of the Gold Medal of Architecture by the Higher Council of Professional Associations of Architects of Spain in 2002 and the National Architecture Award of Spain in 2003. This article delves into the relationship of Antonio Fernández Alba with drawing, which was his language to create and express architecture. T he analysis of the vast graphic legacy of notes, sketches and architectural plans, and the numerous writings of the architect reveal the importance that the act of drawing had for him in the process of ideation of architecture. In addition, Fernández Alba recognized the aesthetic autonomy of drawing as a form of expression of architecture, overcoming its instrumental condition as a necessary technical document for the constructive development of the building.; A dimensão artística e intelectual do arquiteto espanhol Antonio Fernández Alba (Salamanca 1927-Madrid 2024), professor da Escola de Arquitetura de Madrid, membro da Royal Spanish Academy e da Royal Academy of San Fernando, foi reconhecida sua carreira profissional, culminando com a atribuição da Medalha de Ouro de Arquitetura pelo Conselho Superior dos Colégios de Arquitetos de Espanha em 2002 e o Prémio Nacional de Arquitetura de Espanha em 2003.

A Fragmented Archive: Reconstruction of the Creative Process of the Spanish Architect Antonio Fernández Alba Bernal López-Sanvicente, María Amparo Antonio Fernández Alba (Salamanca 1927-Ma- drid 2024) is one of the main Spanish architects of the 20th century. The archive created by this architect reveals the diverse dimensions of his professional career as an architect, artist, intel- lectual and professor at the Higher Technical School of Architecture of Madrid. To delve deeper into his graphic and documen- tary legacy is is a huge and complex task due to the extensive architectural output projected over more than sixty years. During the last years of his professional career, Antonio Fernández Alba made successive donations of the graphic materi- al from his studio to different institutions follow- ing a criterion of trust, but without carrying out a prior planning to guarantee the documentary unity of each project. Nowadays, his archive is dispersed through the Spanish architectural col- lections of the Museum of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Fernando, the National Library of Spain, the Association of Architects of Madrid, the Higher Technical School of Architecture of Madrid, and the architectural collection of the Centre Pompidou in Paris. The aim of this paper is to reconstruct the cre¬ative itinerary of three projects through the dif¬ferent collections where his legacy is currently deposited. For this purpose, three representative projects of his creative stages have been select¬ed: the Amsterdam City Hall Competition (1967), the Restoration of the Astronomical Observatory of Madrid (1975) and the Faculty of Law of the Universidad Autónoma of Madrid (1987). Tracing the graphic material donated by the ar¬chitect to different archives will allow us to iden¬tify the drawings that belong to each of these projects, document them, and reconstruct their creative process also relying on the texts that are also part of his legacy.

Bibliografía de Expresión Gráfica Arquitectónica 2017-2022 Bernal López-Sanvicente, María Amparo El objetivo de una revisión bibliográfica de Expresión Gráfica Arquitectónica (EGA) es ofrecer un relato divulgativo de su marco teórico referencial, las líneas de investigación vigentes y la transferencia de conocimiento que esta área aporta a la sociedad. El carácter divulgativo del texto ha condicionado que las referencias seleccionadas de la producción científica de EGA hayan sido los libros. Las monografías y publicaciones colectivas son la última fase en la divulgación de resultados de un proyecto de investigación. Tienen un contenido amplio y compendiado, sin embargo, el acceso a ese conocimiento es complejo porque muchos libros no tienen ediciones digitales y, por tanto, no están indexados como otras publicaciones científicas por el título o las palabras clave. Este texto ofrece las claves para construir una biblioteca actualizada en la cual está representada la diversidad temática de EGA que, desde su constitución en 1984, comprende la historia y teoría de Análisis de Formas, Geometría Descriptiva, Dibujo Arquitectónico, y la aplicación de sus procedimientos gráficos a estudios patrimoniales multidisciplinares.; The objective of this bibliographic review of Architectural Graphic Expression (EGA) in the six-year period 2017-2022 is to offer an informative account of its referential theoretical framework, current lines of research and the knowledge transfer from this area of the Spanish university to society. The scientific production by EGA professors in Spain is disseminated through articles in scientific journals and other means of sharing knowledge such as books, congresses, exhibitions and other dissemination activities. Of these references, the books for this bibliographic review have been selected. The monographs and collective publications are the last phase in the communication of the results of a research project. They have a broad and summarised content but accessing it to that knowledge is complex since because many books do not have open digital editions and, therefore, are not indexed by title or keywords like other scientific publications. This text offers the keys to create an updated library where the thematic diversity of EGA is represented, which, since its constitution in 1984, includes history and theory of Shape Analysis, Descriptive Geometry, Architectural Drawing, and the application of its graphic procedures to multidisciplinary heritage research.
