Summary:
In this comprehensive survey, Richard Weston traces the course of Modernism from its beginnings to its contemporary manifestations. He explores the Modernist movements of the early twentieth century – Cubism, Surrealism, Futurism and Purism – and concludes with the ‘post-modernist’ experiments of the 1980s and 1990s. He shows how the ‘tradition of the new’ became the creative credo of a small group of progressive artists and how, with the emigration of leading German modernists to Britain and the USA in the 1930s, the theory and practice of Modernism became widespread. What had begun as a cluster of loosely related artistic movements scattered across Europe emerged as the dominant style of the twentieth century.

Summary:
Sur les rives de la Volga, au cœur de la Russie, Togliatti apparaît comme une des plus ambitieuses créations de ville ex novo de la seconde moitié du xxe siècle. Construction d’un colossal barrage hydroélectrique par les prisonniers du Goulag, puis de l’usine automobile Avtovaz (constructeur de la marque Lada) en coopération avec les ingénieurs Fiat, réalisation accélérée d’un nouveau centre urbain entièrement préfabriqué : cité surgie de terre dans l’improvisation permanente, Togliatti tient du laboratoire des méthodes soviétiques — faisant d’un territoire vierge un vaste site de production industrielle et d’installation urbaine. Signé en 1967 par Boris Roubanenko, le plan directeur fut également la réponse de l’urss au projet de Le Corbusier pour Saint-Dié, ainsi qu’à l’œuvre d’Oscar Niemeyer à Brasilia.

Summary:
Catalog of the exhibition Radically Modern : Planning and Construction in 1960s Berlin at the Berlinische Galerie, Berlin from 29th May to 26th October 2015. Destroyed in the Second World War and divided by the Wall, Berlin experienced a veritable construction boom during the 1960s. Inspired by the spirit of a new beginning and technological euphoria, urban planners and architects designed radical new cityscapes for a modern society. Often unjustly criticized as inhumane or unsightly, important examples from this period of architecture have often already been torn down, disfigured by later alterations, or are threatened with demolition today. This publication for the first time takes a look at the context of this architecture's emergence, examining formal aspects and underlying international influences on the architecture developed in both East and West Berlin.

Summary:
This new book is the product of a unique research, teaching, and exhibition project at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna. Faculty and students of the university's Institute for Art and Architecture IKA dedicated a full year to investigate the highly controversial modernist architecture of the three decades between 1950 and 1980. Their goal was to assess the state and current use and to interpret the aesthetic, history, and public acceptance of four selected buildings from today's perspective. Eventually, the students created designs and proposals for moderate to radical changes for these structures. The surprising results of this undertaking offer a very differentiated picture of Vienna's General Hospital (AKH), the Austrian Broadcasting Corporation's studio complex (ORF-Zentrum), the Vienna University of Economics (WU), and the Alterlaa housing estate. Big! Bad? Modern: reflects this diversity: Arranged by keywords derived from the featured projects, it provides easy access to the rich and comprehensive collection of materials and manifold positions, and opens up new perspectives. Essays by renowned authors such as Hermann Czech, Francoise Fromont, Harry Gluck, Sabine Kraft and Michael Zinganel and a preface by Nasrine Seraji round out the book.
