Abstract

The American house from the late 40s leaded the architecture of that period since it became shelter for human life after the war. With that in mind, and based on the teachings of Wright and the migrating European masters, many architects proposed a flexible domestic space open to their environment, where they could rediscover contact with the landscape. It was a matter of placing the house back in relation to the land, or at least that is how Paul Rudolph perceived it in the houses he designed for Florida, a setting that was starting to become established as a holiday destination for the average American. Rudolph understood the environment as one more element of his work, and so his drawings show. The analysis of his graphics reveals a series of elements that highlight the space where the architecture lays, in an attempt to retrieve the poetic dimension of the landscape

Tras licenciarse del servicio militar, y antes de volver a trabajar en el estudio de Twitchell, Rudolph, realizó sus estudios de postgrado Graduate School of Design de la Universidad de Harvard, que desde 1937 dirigía Walter Gropius, obteniendo el título de máster en arquitectura en 1947. Estos hechos son muy significativos para entender las primeras viviendas proyectadas por los dos arquitectos en 1947. Se podría decir que Rudolph y Twitchell aplicaron las enseñanzas de Wright con respecto a los materiales y el modo en el que la arquitectura se asienta en el lugar. Gropius3 y otros maestros europeos como Breuer o Mies les ayudaría a desarrollar una nueva arquitectura adaptada a los ideales de la domesticidad moderna, que el fundador de la Bauhaus había plasmado en 1938 en su casa en Lincoln. Por último, los años de Rudolph en el ejército le permitieron conocer las ventajas de los nuevos materiales y las posibilidades que ofrecían las innovaciones técnicas derivadas de la industria bélica4 .
