Colin Rowe, enfoque metahistórico, clasicismo neoclásico, modernismo utópico, diseño urbanoResumen
Este artículo recurre a la experiencia de Colin Rowe como paracaidista durante la guerra como una metáfora de su habilidad para enfrentar diversas y complejas circunstancias. Se destacan distintos periodos de su vida, desde su trayectoria peripatética (1938-78) hasta su paso por varias instituciones y la culminación de sus 40 años de carrera. Rowe sobrevivió a los cambios profesionales gracias a tres códigos estabilizadores: un clasicismo neoclásico influenciado por Wittkower, un modernismo con ideales utópicos influenciado por Le Corbusier, y un tercer espacio imaginario que permitía nuevas interpretaciones culturales. Estos códigos se reflejaron en sus proyectos urbanos en Texas, Cornell y Cambridge. A lo largo de su carrera, Rowe adoptó y adaptó estos códigos, reflejando su rechazo inicial a la ciudad georgiana, su compromiso con la utopía moderna, y su eventual redescubrimiento de la ciudad neoclásica. La obra de Rowe, incluida su metaciudad Roma interrotta, ilustra su capacidad para integrar lo moderno y lo clásico en un contexto urbano, utilizando un enfoque metahistórico que anticipa la transformación de las ciudades en espacios de información y memoria recombinantes. La exposición de Roma interrotta en el Mercado de Trajano en 1978 y su recreación en el Museo MAXXI en 2014 subrayan su visión de la ciudad como un museo y un espacio de memoria. Esta perspectiva se traduce en una arquitectura que no solo responde a las necesidades contemporáneas, sino que también dialoga con la historia, mostrando la habilidad de Rowe para crear espacios urbanos ricos en significado y potencialidad, un híbrido atemporal que conecta lo personal y lo colectivo.
