Acerca de Transitions - Architectural Histories of Transformation

"Transitions" examines the shifting social, political, and cultural meaning of world architectural sites as they develop over time. Each episode examines the deep complexities that emerge as a physical building, landscape, or spatial practice persists across political epochs of pre-colonial, colonial, and post-colonial governance. This series showcases the best work produced by first-year graduate students in the Master of Architecture program at the University of Texas at Austin for the course ARC 387F - "World Architecture: Origins to 1750," which was taught by Charles Davis II, PhD.

"Moros Y Cristianos": A Paired Architectural Walkthrough of the Mosque-Cathedral of Cordoba

Joseph Doyague and Olivia Bowness employ the Cuban dish "moros y cristianos" (or Moors and Christians) as a metaphor to describe the cross-cultural character of religious architecture in Spain. Their case study, the Mosque-Cathedral of Cordoba, began as an eight century Islamic structure that incorporated Christian architectural elements into its floor plan. It was later transformed into a Cathedral in the 13th century. This episode brilliantly orchestrates a paired architectural walkthrough of the Mosque-Cathedral to demonstrate the ways that Spanish material culture was purposefully structured to demonstrate the mutual respect and trust that developed between Islamic and Christian adherents during the Umayyad empire. It also demonstrates the ways that architecture operates as a palimpsest that records its cultural influences in many layers over time.

What is the Political Function of the Sports Stadium in the West?

Our hosts, James Rubin and Lucy Wells, compare and contrast the political function of historical stadium culture to tease out the propagandistic roots of contemporary sports culture in the United States. While purportedly serving as a passive form of entertainment in Rome, the Colosseum operated as a political stage in miniature form. Just as Roman Emperors employed this arena for their own political ends, contemporary football stadiums present a consolidated imagery of the American body politic that thinly veils the racial, class, and gender stratifications of mass society. Who does the modern-day stadium primarily serve? And what role does advanced architectural technology have in supporting this endeavor? Listen closely as our hosts present their case.

How Should We Remember the Alamo?

In this podcast, Jack Wallace and Henry Houghton reexamine the nationalist ideologies that have influenced state histories of Texas landmarks such as the Alamo. In contrast to the heroic portrait of Davy Crockett as a martyr to American liberty, some historic documents suggest that he and other Texans stationed at the Alamo likely surrendered to and were executed by the Mexican army in 1836. Jack and Henry explore the potential significance of this contradiction. They argue Crockett's surrender would have undermined the core notion of frontier justice that undergirds many local histories of Texas patriotism. The propaganda surrounding frontier patriots requires them to be seen as unyielding in their pursuit of American ideals, in both life and death. To show any of them having weakness would be to reveal the weakness of the nation itself. The Alamo is a cultural powerhouse of architectural imagery that maintains an iron grip on popular conceptions of Texas’ past, present, and potential future. Daring to reimagine the historic moment of Crockett's passing is a radical step in rewriting the rhetorical narrative of our nation; one that struggles with the settler colonial foundations of Texan land holdings.
