"Artrópodos y omatidios. El proyecto de Jorge Oteiza para el edificio Beatriz, una historia inconclusa"
Esta publicación, relata la historia de este proyecto desde que, mediada la década de los 70, al filo de la conclusión de las obras del Edificio Beatriz, sito en el corazón del madrileño Barrio de Salamanca, el arquitecto Eleuterio Población convocó un concurso restringido entre escultores para resolver el esquinazo de las calles José Ortega y Gasset con Velázquez.
El ganador del concurso fue el escultor Jorge de Oteiza con una propuesta que más allá de su valor plástico, procuraba una interpretación particularmente lúcida del propio edificio. En efecto, la peculiar configuración del conjunto arquitectónico, derivada directamente de su sofisticada estructura constructiva -un núcleo central resistente y una fachada portante de piezas prefabricadas de hormigón armado- confería a la piel exterior, en palabras del propio escultor, una apariencia de “organismo celoso guardador de algo en su interior” que el mismo Oteiza identificó como razón de su propuesta.
El autor de esta monografía es también el responsable de la reforma integral del inmueble lo que le indujo a investigar lo sucedido en torno al concurso y al desarrollo del proyecto. El espacio reservado para la escultura en la calle José Ortega y Gasset semiesquina con Velázquez, que hoy se ha transformado en un vacío urbano –una pequeña plaza- utilizado como lugar de encuentro y de juego por los usuarios del edificio y los vecinos del barrio, circunstancia que probablemente apreciaría el escultor en cuanto presencia de una ausencia.

Architects James Estes and Peter Twombly have described their nearly two decades of work as "quiet modernism." Their Rhode Island–based firm, Estes/Twombly Architects, builds modestly sized and geometrically precise houses that are unique to their New England locale without being style-driven. These award-winning homes reflect the area's strong architectural heritage—white cedar shingles, sliding barn doors, standing-seam metal roofs—without being derivative. "Yankee Modern" features ten elegant houses in Rhode Island and Connecticut that are moderate in scale and budget yet quietly large in ambition. For Estes/Twombly, each building site, whether responding to a view, a neighbor, or the terrain, requires a unique solution. Through careful integration of site and design, the architects create enough natural heat and ventilation to defy the rugged New England climate and extend the warm seasons.
Estes/Twombly's multiple award–winning Cyronak House on Block Island combines a modern, open plan—so suitable for the way most families live today—with time-tested local materials; sliding barn doors enclose a small courtyard entry and protect it from north winds, while to the south a small deck catches summer afternoon breezes.ÊThe pair of simple two-story blocks that comprise the Danevic House are turned at right angles and pulled apart to make outdoor spaces and take advantage of different views. A latticework tower joins them, acting as a transition between indoors and outdoors, the private and public realms. Sumptuous photography, charming drawings, and detailed plans fully illustrate Estes/Twombly's commonsense design solutions. Author William Morgan's opening essay traces the firm's development and situates their work in both regional and historical contexts. "Yankee Modern" is a welcome return to the simple pleasures of modest, innovative architecture, sensitive to its site and clients' needs.
William Morgan is an architectural historian and a photographer based in Providence, Rhode Island. He is the author of The Cape Cod Cottage.
