Among the well-known works in this volume are the Getty Center in Los Angeles, the Barcelona Museum of Contemporary Art, and the Church of Dives in Misericordia, Rome. In the early 1970s, Meier was one of the "New York Five," an informal group of East Coast architects who shared a preference for new and original contributions to the modern tradition and shaped an alternative to the "gray" architecture that dominated highrise East Coast buildings at the time.

Summary:
CIAM (Congrès Internationaux d'Architecture Moderne), founded in Switzerland in 1928, was an avant-garde association of architects intended to advance both modernism and internationalism in architecture. CIAM saw itself as an elite group revolutionizing architecture to serve the interests of society. Its members included some of the best-known architects of the twentieth century, such as Le Corbusier, Walter Gropius, and Richard Neutra, but also hundreds of others who looked to it for doctrines on how to shape the urban environment in a rapidly changing world. In this first book-length history of the organization, architectural historian Eric Mumford focuses on CIAM's discourse to trace the development and promotion of its influential concept of the "Functional City." He views official doctrines and pronouncements in relation to the changing circumstances of the members, revealing how CIAM in the 1930s began to resemble a kind of syndicalist party oriented toward winning over any suitable authority, regardless of political orientation. Mumford also looks at CIAM's efforts after World War II to find a new basis for a socially engaged architecture and describes the attempts by the group of younger members called Team 10 to radically revise CIAM's mission in the 1950s, efforts that led to the organization's dissolution in 1959.

Price:

(available in store)
Summary:
Neoptolemos Michaelides (1920–92) was a pioneer of modern architecture in Cyprus. His designs are based on the desire to develop principles that combine modern architecture with traditional Cypriot construction methods—and the knowledge preserved therein regarding the choice of materials, geographical orientation, natural climate control, and the internal organization of buildings. These principles are rooted in his studies of Western philosophy and even more in his affinity with Eastern philosophical thought, especially the spiritual importance of a harmonious relationship with nature. Between his respect for pure, natural materials and his awareness of elemental forces, his buildings seem both to worship nature and to evoke the Shintoism of Japan. In this first-ever book on the architecture of Neoptolemos Michaelides, the distinguished American architectural historian Kenneth Frampton presents his work in two essays. The first, illustrated with historical photos and documents, is dedicated to thirteen of Michaelides’ most important buildings. The second takes a close look at Michaelides’ own home in Nicosia. New photographs and plan drawings created just for the book on a 1:100 scale document this extraordinary house in detail. The beautiful volume is rounded out with a concise biography of Michaelides.

Summary:
Le Corbusier is probably the most famous and certainly the most controversial architect of the twentieth century. His impact on the urban fabric around us and on the way we live has been gigantic because of the richness and variety of his work and his passionately expressed philosophy of architecture. Weaving through his long and prolific life are certain recurrent themes — his perennial drive toward new types of dwelling, from the early white villas to the U'ité d'Habitation at Marseille; his evolving concepts of urban form, including the Plan Voisin of 1925 with its cruciform towers imposed on the city of Paris and his work at Chandigarh in India; and his belief in a new technocratic order. The distinguished critic and historian Kenneth Frampton reexamines all these facets of his artistic and philosophical worldview in the light of recent discoveries, and presents us with a Le Corbusier for the twenty-first century.

L'ouvrage de Kenneth Frampton mêle en effet le ton pédagogique et accessible d'un enseignant invité dans les universités et écoles d'architecture et le point de vue d'un chercheur et critique profondément engagé dans les débats de son temps. L'auteur retrace les origines tant culturelles qu'urbaines et techniques de l'architecture moderne en remontant jusqu'au tout début du XIXe siècle. Il examine ensuite en des chapitres clairement délimités - où bâtiments et théories architecturales sont toujours éclairés par leur contexte social, politique, économique et technique - les principaux mouvements, développements nationaux ou périodes de création des grands concepteurs du XXe siècle. Enfin, en critique avisé de l'époque actuelle, il détecte et explique certains traits de l'architecture contemporaine, notamment à l'aide des concepts de " régionalisme critique " et de " pratique réflexive ". Son analyse de l'aspect plus particulièrement tectonique de certaines œuvres architecturales est à la fois originale et féconde. Une version française de la première édition de ce livre était parue en 1985, et introuvable depuis de nombreuses années. Le présent ouvrage, qui reprend la troisième et dernière édition anglaise, bénéficie d'une nouvelle traduction ainsi que d'une bibliographie revue et augmentée. Ses 377 illustrations viennent appuyer avec précision le propos de l'auteur.
