The Residence for Claretian Priests, a masterpiece of Brazilian architecture, completes 35 years since receiving the Rino Levi Prize from IAB-SP
Obra prima dos Arquitetos e Urbanistas Affonso Risi e José Mario Nogueira, a Residência para Padres Claretianos, projetada e construída no início dos anos 80, recebeu, há 35 anos (1983), o cobiçado prêmio Rino Levi pelo IAB-SP / Instituto de Arquitetos do Brasil, Departamento de São Paulo. Neste complexo de edifícios, os autores conceberam um espaço de convívio para os religiosos da Ordem Claretiana na cidade do interior paulista, Batatais, que se destacou, na época, pelo uso competente de antigas técnicas construtivas (as abóbadas executadas em tijolo, material onipresente em outros elementos da obra), associadas a inovações espaciais e de conforto ambiental na disposição dos ambientes, retomando criativamente a disposição dos dormitórios ao redor de um pátio central, ao qual outros espaços do conjunto são orientados. Criando espaços aconchegantes e bem iluminados, Risi e Nogueira demonstram, nesta obra, sua maestria no conhecimento da presença do passado – pelo uso da memória, como escreveu Santo Agostinho (354-430) -, e ao mesmo tempo criando uma obra contemporânea, como Le Corbusier (1887-1965) realizou três décadas antes da Residência, em seu brutalista Convento Sainte-Marie de la Tourette, na França. Obras mais recentes de Affonso Risi, consultor da e-DAU em projetos de Edifícios Educacionais, incluem o Campus Universitário da UNIABC, na região sudeste de São Paulo, outra obra bimportante, amplamente divulgada na mídia especializada no Brasil.
A masterpiece by Architects and Urbanists Affonso Risi and Jose Mario Nogueira, the Residence for Claretian Monks, designed and built in the beginning of the eighties received, 35 years ago (1983), the coveted Rino Levi Prize from IAB-SP, Institute of Architects of Brazil – Department of Sao Paulo. In this building complex, the authors conceived a communitary space for the religious members of the Claretian Order in the city of the Paulista hinterland, Batatais, which stood out, at the time, by the competent use of ancient construction techniques (such as in the vaults built with brickwork, an omnipresent material in other elements of the work), associated to spatial innovations and environmental control in the distribution of living spaces, recovering creatively the distribution of the dormitories around a central patio, towards which other spaces in the complex are oriented. Creating cozy and well-lighted spaces, Risi and Nogueira demonstrate, in this work, their mastery in the knowledge of the presence of the past – by the use of memory, as Saint Augustine (354-430) wrote -, and at the same time creating a contemporary work just as Le Corbusier (1887-1965) realized three decades earlier in his brutalist Saint-Marie Convent at La Tourette, in France. Other recent works by affonso Risi, Consultant in the design of Educational Buildings at e-DAU, include the University Campus for UNIABC, in the south-eastern region of Sao Paulo, another important work amply published by the specialized Brazilian midia.
