Summary:
From 1941 to 1964, House Beautiful magazine’s crusading editor-in-chief Elizabeth Gordon introduced and promoted her vision of 'good design' and 'better living' to an extensive middle-class American readership. Her innovative magazine-sponsored initiatives, including House Beautiful’s Pace Setter House Program and the Climate Control Project, popularized a 'livable' and decidedly American version of postwar modern architecture. Gordon’s devotion to what she called the American Style attracted the attention of Frank Lloyd Wright, who became her ally and collaborator. Gordon’s editorial programs reshaped ideas about American living and, by extension, what consumers bought, what designers made, and what manufacturers brought to market. This incisive assessment of Gordon’s influence as an editor, critic, and arbiter of domestic taste reflects more broadly on the cultures of consumption and identity in postwar America. Nearly 200 images are featured, including work by Ezra Stoller, Maynard Parker, and Julius Shulman. This book champions an often-neglected source - the consumer magazine - as a key tool for deepening our understanding of mid-century architecture and design.

Summary:
Le design Scandinave du XXe siècle privilégie le fonctionnel et le pratique et recherche la simplicité dans un esprit de démocratisation. Cela est vrai du design du XXe siècle en général, mais le style Scandinave a quelque chose de plus. Ces créations témoignent souvent d'un parfait équilibre entre l'aptitude des humains à l'abstraction et la vitalité organique de la nature. Elles sont discrètement fonctionnelles et d'une beauté inoubliable. Une inspiration puisée dans la nature, la primauté accordée à son chez-soi et au bien-être domestique, une tradition artisanale bien vivante, et un regard pratique sur le design ont présidé au développement et à l'immense succès international, toujours renouvelé, de ce style.

Summary:
Contemporary architecture is often characterized by the total interpenetration of interior and exterior configurations: the differentiation between these two dialectical poles has become indistinguishable, boundaries blurry and the result of any design process is a hybrid product, based on the superposition of different and heterogeneous layers. The impossibility of separating interior and exterior permits a general reorganisation of some topics internal to the territory of architecture, and also expresses the necessity of a systemic analysis of the most recent episodes. If at first glance this interest for a new kind of dialectics may appear as the most evident epiphenomenon of a wider and recent tendency, under careful examination one can observe that the tension between interior and exterior has always been present in architecture, differently articulated over the centuries, and expressed through several means of representation.
