Summary:
The book reconstructs the story of Serbian modernism as a local history within a major movement and views the buildings designed in Belgrade in the 1920s and 1930s as part of a larger cultural phenomenon. Because so many of the buildings discussed are disintegrating or have been destroyed or altered beyond recognition, the book serves not only as a documentary and critical study but also as a preservation resource. Most of the photographs and plans have never been published outside of Serbia, if at all. In restoring this work to its rightful place in the history of modern architecture, the book also sheds new light on a number of other stories. These include the influence of Le Corbusier and of the Yugoslav avant-garde movement Zenitism and the impact of international modern movements on the theoretical underpinnings of Serbian modernism. One of the subplots follows the story of the Group of Architects of the Modern Movement in Belgrade and its four founding members, Milan Zlokovic, Branislav Kojic, Jan Dubovy, and Dusan Babic. Through anexamination of their work and that of other modern architects, most notably Dragisa Brasovan and Nikola Dobrovic, the book discusses the identity of Serbian modernism as it was established in the period from 1925 to 1940. The book also identifies those buildings that represent the purest examples of Serbian modernism and analyzes the qualities that make them quintessentially local forms while part of the larger modernist movement

Summary:
The export of American architecture began in the nineteenth century as a disjointed set of personal adventures and commercial initiatives. It continues today alongside the transfer of other aspects of American life and culture to most regions of the world. Jeffrey Cody explains how, why and where American architects, planners, building contractors and other actors have marketed American architecture overseas. In so doing he provides a historical perspective on the diffusion of American building technologies, architectural standards, construction methods and planning paradigms. Using previously undocumented examples and illustrations, he shows how steel-frame manufacturers shipped their products abroad enabling the erection of American-style skyscrapers worldwide by 1900 and how this phase was followed by similar initiatives by companies manufacturing concrete components.

Summary:
Depuis la découverte de la caverne, les hommes n’ont cessé d’utiliser les formations géologiques qu’offre notre planète. Il a fallu cependant attendre une date récente pour que des avancées dans le domaine de l’ingénierie structurelle permettent de considérer la surface de la terre comme un élément architectural à part entière. La prise de conscience de la raréfaction des ressources naturelles et l’influence grandissante des architectes paysagistes ont également incité certains créateurs parmi les plus prestigieux à inventer des formes qui s’intègrent à la topographie naturelle d’un lieu, la déploient, la subliment et à créer ce que l’on pourrait appeler des gratteterre en opposition aux gratte-ciel. Du terminal de tramway de Zaha Hadid en France à la bibliothèque d’Alexandrie de Snøhetta en Egypte, de la maison nichée dans une colline du Pays de Galles de Future Systems au Spencer Theatre d’Antoine Predock aux Etats- Unis, les cinquante projets présentés dans ce livre révèlent l’importance de cette nouvelle voie architecturale.

Summary:
The fine line between art and architecture is rapidly becoming harder to perceive. With the aid of sophisticated computer programs, today's most innovative architects are working on designs so conceptual they could not be realized in the physical world. Nevertheless, these sorts of forward-thinking projects are an important influence on the architectural climate. At the dawn of the 21st century, architecture is entering a paradigm shift; no longer can it be completely distinguished from art. Be they built from bytes or bricks, the projects in this book represent the imagination of the planet's most talented and creative architects. For all the latest and most important architectural projects and trends, look no further than this volume, the follow-up to our popular and groundbreaking book Architecture Now!
