Analysing a Spatial Pattern of Innovative and Brand Architecture in European Cities: Clustering and Diffusion of Media and Signature Projects?

Résumé

During the last decades there has been a spread of flagship buildings designed by renowned architects, as well as architectural projects adopting new technological possibilities, aesthetics and functions. We aim to explain the spatial distribution of architectural firms and media and signature projects of architecture, built or not, in Europe. These works constitute a strategy of urban marketing in a context of inter-urban competition, and the production of know-how of building procedures of media architecture. A database on offices of signature architects and their European projects, as well as media architecture projects has been built. A methodology of data analysis is used for studying this sample. It includes projects designed and inaugurated between 2000 and 2010 which appeared in the official web pages of their architects and in the most relevant specialized magazines. Concentrations of architects and projects in the urban areas of Western Europe are identified. We analyse recent dynamics in the spatial patterns of diffusion of these models of projects and clusters of architectural firms in the chosen period. Four main explicative factors of these spatial dynamics can be pointed out: first, the economic performance and size of the cities and their corresponding urban areas; second, the origin countries of signature architects and other places with cultural proximity; third, direct links to knowledge centres of architecture highly specialized in technology; and fourth, the punctual realization of cultural events.
