(available to order)
Summary:
One of the most profound thinkers of the modern age, Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche (1844-1900) has been the subject of volumes of literature that document his life and work. Until now there has been no in-depth study devoted to Nietzsche's thoughts and impact on architecture, specifically his far-reaching notion of an architecture commensurate with the modern mind. In the essays that comprise this book, thirteen contributors from a wide variety of disciplines (including art history, architecture and architectural theory, literature, philosophy, and city planning) assess the relationship of Nietzschean philosophy to art and architecture, elucidate frequent misunderstandings, and determine patterns of influence. The book is divided into three parts: "The Metaphors of Architecture," "Between Art, Literature, and Architecture," and "Nietzsche and the Architects." Contributors include Paolo Baldacci, the Giorgio and Isa de Chirico Foundation, Rome; Hanne Bergius, Hochschule fur Kunst und Design Burg Giebichenstein, Halle, Germany; Rolf Bothe, Kunstsammlungen zu Weimar, Germany; Claudia Brodsky Lacour, Princeton University; Tilmann Buddensieg, Humbolt-Universität Berlin; Jean-Louis Cohen, Université de Paris and Institute of Fine Arts, New York University; Karsten Harries, Yale University; Werner Hofmann, Germany; Fritz Neumeyer, Technische Universität Berlin; Léon Ploegaerts, University of Ottawa, Canada; and Anthony Vidler, University of California at Los Angeles. Edited by Alexandre Kostka and Irving Wohlfarth.

Summary:
In this engaging study Grant Hildebrand discusses ways in which architectural forms emulate some archetypal settings that humans have found appealing from ancient times to the present. Speculating that nature has "designed" us to prefer certain conditions and experiences, Hildebrand is interested in how the characteristics of our most satisfying built environments mesh with Darwinian selection. In examining the appeal of such survival-based characteristics he cites architectural examples spanning five continents and five millennia. Among those included are the Palace of Minos, the Alhambra, Wells Cathedral, the Shinto shrine at Ise, the Piazza San Marco, Brunelleschi's Pazzi Chapel, Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater, a Seattle condominium, and recent houses by Eric Owen Moss and Arne Bystrom.

In an original and sweeping historical study, the sociologist author of The Uses of Disorder relates society's most prominent ills, from clinical narcissism to political apathy, to the decline of public life and the rise of an arid privatism, exalting intimacy and enshrining personality. His model is the Enlightenment cosmopolis, where "a balance of public and private geography. . . did exist"; his method is to investigate the change in public roles - "the social terms on which human beings are expressive" - from the 1750s to the 1890s in the prototypical urban centers, London and Paris.

Price:
$35.00
(available to order)
Summary:
In this short, intentionally polemical book, Neil Leach draws on the ideas of philosophers and cultural theorists such as Walter Benjamin and Jean Baudrillard to develop a novel and highly incisive critique of the consequences of the growing preoccupation with images and image-making in contemporary architectural culture. The problem with this preoccupation, Leach argues, is that it can induce a sort of numbness, as the saturation of images floods the senses and obscures deeper concerns. This problem is particularly acute for a discipline such as architecture, which relies heavily on visual representation. As a result, architects can become anaesthetized from the social and political realities of everyday life. In the intoxicating world of the image, the aesthetics of architecture threaten to become the anaesthetics of architecture. In this culture of aesthetic consumption, this "culture of the cocktail," meaningful discourse gives way to strategies of seduction, and architectural design is reduced to the superficial play of empty, seductive forms.

Summary:
Few twentieth-century writers on architecture and design have enjoyed the renown of Reyner Banham. Born and trained in England and a U.S. resident starting in 1976, Banham wrote incisively about American and European buildings and culture. Now readers can enjoy a chronological cross-section of essays, polemics, and reviews drawn from more than three decades of Banham's writings. The volume, which includes discussions of Italian Futurism, Adolf Loos, Paul Scheerbart, and the Bauhaus as well as explorations of contemporary architecture by Frank Gehry, James Stirling, and Norman Foster, conveys the full range of Banham's belief in industrial and technological development as the motor of architectural evolution. Banham's interests and passions ranged from architecture and the culture of pop art to urban and industrial design. In brilliant analyses of automobile styling, mobile homes, science fiction films, and the American predilection for gadgets, he anticipated many of the preoccupations of contemporary cultural studies. Los Angeles, the city that Banham commemorated in a book and a film, receives extensive attention in essays on the Santa Monica Pier, the Getty Museum, Forest Lawn cemetery, and the ubiquitous freeway system. Eminently readable, provocative, and entertaining, this book is certain to consolidate Banham's reputation among architects and students of contemporary culture. For those acquainted with his writing, it offers welcome surprises as well as familiar delights. For those encountering Banham for the first time, it comprises the perfect introduction.
