ABSTRACT

In 1933, Antonio Salazar established the so-called Estado Novo in Portugal. Six years later, Francisco Franco set up a right-wing totalitarian regime in Spain. The heavy traditionalism of both regimes and their rejection by western democracies after the Second World War kept them not only politically isolated, but also intensely invested in the revival of past national symbols. In architecture, such authoritarianism was evident in the return to traditional styles and vernacular models. However, within a decade interest in international architecture expanded. Initially, Iberia looked at more proximate countries in Europe and the Americas, but soon thereafter began to look towards the Pacific, particularly Japan and Australia. Iberian architects showed less interest in the Antipodes than they did towards other countries that were nearer geographically or culturally, such as Brazil or Mexico. Nevertheless, the number of articles about Australian architecture published in local magazines was not negligible, nor was the influence certain Australian works exercised over the career of some young architects. Following the storyline of articles published in Portuguese and Spanish professional journals, this paper presents Iberia’s evolving interest in Australian architecture, precisely the furthest away for them.

摘要

1933 年，安东尼奥·萨拉查 (Antonio Salazar) 建立了所谓的Estado Novo在葡萄牙。六年后，弗朗西斯科·佛朗哥在西班牙建立了右翼极权政权。二战后，这两个政权的沉重传统主义和西方民主国家的拒绝使它们不仅在政治上处于孤立状态，而且还大力投资于过去国家象征的复兴。在建筑中，这种威权主义在回归传统风格和本土模式中很明显。然而，在十年内，对国际建筑的兴趣扩大了。最初，伊比利亚将目光投向了欧洲和美洲更近的国家，但此后不久便开始将目光投向太平洋，尤其是日本和澳大利亚。与地理上或文化上更接近的其他国家（例如巴西或墨西哥）相比，伊比利亚建筑师对 Antipodes 表现出的兴趣较少。尽管如此，在当地杂志上发表的关于澳大利亚建筑的文章数量不可忽视，某些澳大利亚作品对一些年轻建筑师的职业生涯产生的影响也不容忽视。本文根据在葡萄牙语和西班牙语专业期刊上发表的文章的故事情节，介绍了 Iberia 对澳大利亚建筑不断发展的兴趣，而这对他们来说恰恰是最遥远的地方。
