Summary:
Preservation is ordinarily reserved for architecture that is unique. So how would we go about preserving buildings that are utterly generic? Such is the case with Belyayevo, an ordinary residential district in Moscow. Belyayevo is a typical microrayon – the standardised neighbourhood system that successive Soviet regimes laid out across the USSR in what was the most(...)

Summary:
Preservation is ordinarily reserved for architecture that is unique. So how would we go about preserving buildings that are utterly generic? Such is the case with Belyayevo, an ordinary residential district in Moscow. Belyayevo is a typical microrayon – the standardised neighbourhood system that successive Soviet regimes laid out across the USSR in what was the most expansive programme of industrialised construction the world has ever seen. Belyayevo’s buildings, and the desolate spaces between them, are identical to thousands of others, but is it different? Kuba Snopek argues that it is. Home to many of the artists of the Moscow Conceptualism school, the place was written into the character of their art. Snopek argues that this intangible heritage is the key to saving a neighbourhood many feel has had its day. But as Russia comes to terms with ist Soviet legacy, will such arguments fall on deaf ears?

Summary:
In the Austria of the 1960s, the visionary designs of architects and artists garnered international attention. Described as the "Austrian phenomenon," these projects and installations contained the concentrated creativity of the Austrian architectural neo-avant-garde between 1956 and 1973. In Vienna, these avant-garde dreams came to be symbolized by Hans Hollein’s Retti Candle Shop and Hermann Czech’s many cafés and bars, which are still successful today, including the Kleines Café (Little Café), Wunderbar, and Salzamt. The best-known protagonists of this scene include Hans Hollein, Walter Pichler, Raimund Abraham, Coop Himmelblau, Haus-Rucker-Co, Missing Link, and others. The book consists of two parts. The first contains "Documentation" of important publications from the years 1958–1973 in international trade journals like Archigram, Domus, Architectural Record, and Casabella, in which the young architects sought attention for their programs. The second is "Reconstruction," a cross-section of images and texts from publications on the "Austrian phenomenon," elucidated and situated in the context of international architectural history by authors such as Friedrich Achleitner, Bart Lootsma, Stanislaus von Moos, Joseph Rykwert, Anthony Vidler, and others.

Summary:
La couleur serait-elle une nouveauté en architecture? Sa forte présence actuelle a-t-elle des précédents, ou bien est-elle le dernier épisode, paroxystique, de l’ère postmoderne, le signe global d’une architecture décomplexée, dénitivement détachée des pesanteurs dogmatiques du XXe siècle? De quel débat la couleur participe-t-elle réellement? D’un débat sur la forme, le style, l’ornement, le revêtement, ou plutôt sur la ville et ses règlements — lesquels ne comportent, pour Paris, aucune prescription particulière à ce propos —, sur l’économie du projet? De tous ces débats cumulés? Peut-être. La couleur a manifestement le mérite de susciter des questions, auxquelles il serait vain de prétendre apporter autant de réponses. Nous nous limiterons pour l’heure à la première: la couleur, nouveau matériau architectural, nouvelle donne pour la ville? L’histoire, on le verra, apporte des preuves régulières du contraire. En revanche, il est possible que l’architecture de ce début de XXIe siècle soit la plus colorée jamais produite jusqu’alors; et ce seul constat impose que l’on s’interroge sur les origines et les développements de ce phénomène, dans une ville historiquement considérée comme monochrome ou presque: Paris.
