| Resumo: | This article aims to show the relevant and close relationship between drawing and the creation of public space in the work of the Valencian architect Román Jiménez Iranzo, a professional of great relevance in the construction of modern Valencia, a city in which he executed a large part of his prolific work, which ranges from residential construction to intervention in streets and squares in the city, fundamentally after being appointed Head of the Urban Projects Service of the City Council. It was precisely during this municipal period (1991-2005) when, together with his colleague, the architect Pedro Soler, he showed his mastery of both Euclidean and fractal geometry, displaying in his urban projects a wide palette of compositions dominated by the isosceles right triangle and derived from his hitherto unknown plastic work. These interventions, always with a strong historicist influence and loaded with symbolism, allowed him to explore solutions endowed with personality that subtly conceal messages that at first sight are imperceptible, requiring the spectator to have a cultured and calm gaze to reveal and appreciate them in their entirety. A gaze that Román Jiménez himself transmitted to his students during his long teaching period as director and professor of drawing in the subject of Analysis of Architectural Forms at the Valencia School of Architecture, in the recovery of which he played a fundamental role. The present work is the result of a thesis in the making, which investigates and explores in depth his plastic work concerning his architectural and urban work. |
