Bruno Zevi y su concepto de “espacio orgánico”: Una definición que se reparte entre el sentido, el valor estético, la percepción y la función Destefanis, Natalia Fraenza, Fernando Bruno Zevi Walter Curt Behrendt modern space Bruno Zevi Walter Curt Behrendt espacio moderno In a context of criticism of the formalist aspects that the most mechanistic lines of modern architecture would incur, different proposals arose -around the middle of the twentieth century- that aim at a reintegration of art or the aesthetic dimension into architecture, among them: the so-called organicism. Bruno Zevi, leader of the organic movement in Italy, summons some notions such as interior space or organic space, in order to rescue modern architecture from the stagnation resulting from its conventionalization. In this article we do not intend to make history but to understand -using highly agreed notions that we borrow from pragmatics and critical theory- what is the concept of space that Zevi attends to, why he refers to it using the term organic, and why it is linked to a criterion of functionality. We analyze this notion of space interpreting the writings of Zevi. We delve into his idea of the organic in connection with the ideas of Walter Curt Behrendt, with respect to which he accuses influence. We will review his idea of functionality by comparing his proposal for the reintegration of the aesthetic into architecture with the one formulated by his contemporary Sigfried Giedion. Our thesis is that Bruno Zevi rejects functionalist rationalism as formalist, but he does so using a concept of practical functionality that must be understood as a conventional meaning or as a cultural reference. En un contexto de crítica a los aspectos formalistas en los que incurrirían las líneas más mecanicistas de la arquitectura moderna, surgen -hacia mediados del siglo veinte- diferentes propuestas que se dirigen a una cierta reintegración del arte o la dimensión estética a la arquitectura, entre ellas, destaca el llamado organicismo. Bruno Zevi, líder del movimiento orgánico en Italia, convoca ciertas nociones como espacio interior o espacio orgánico, con el fin de rescatar a la arquitectura moderna del anquilosamiento producto de su estilización. En este artículo no pretendemos hacer historia sino comprender, usando nociones muy consensuadas que tomamos de la pragmática y la teoría crítica, cuál es el concepto de espacio al que Zevi atiende, por qué se refiere al mismo usando el término orgánico y por qué va ligado a un criterio de funcionalidad. Analizamos dicha noción de espacio interpretando al propio Zevi. Ahondamos sobre su idea de lo orgánico en conexión con las ideas de Walter Curt Behrendt, respecto de las cuales acusa influencia. Revisaremos su idea de funcionalidad comparando su propuesta de reintegración de lo estético a la arquitectura con la que formula su contemporáneo Sigfried Giedion. Nuestra tesis es que Zevi recusa el racionalismo funcionalista por formalista, pero lo hace empleando un concepto de funcionalidad práctica que no se comprende sino como un significado convencional o como referencia cultural.
