Summary:
Usually associated with Mies and Le Corbusier, the Modern Movement was instrumental in advancing new technologies of construction in architecture, including the use of glass, steel, and reinforced concrete. Renowned historian Kenneth Frampton offers a bold look at this crucial period, focusing on architects less commonly associated with the movement in order to reveal the breadth and complexity of architectural modernism. ''The other Modern movement'' profiles nineteen architects, each of whom consciously contributed to the evolution of a new architectural typology through a key work realized between 1922 and 1962. Frampton’s account offers new insights into iconic buildings like Eileen Gray’s E-1027 House in France and Richard Neutra’s Kaufmann House in Palm Springs, California, as well as lesser-known works such as Antonin Raymond’s Tokyo Golf Club and Alejandro de la Sota’s Maravillas School Gymnasium in Madrid. Foregrounding the ways that these diverse projects employed progressive models, advanced new methods in construction techniques, and displayed a new sociocultural awareness, Frampton shines a light on the rich legacy of the Modern Movement and the enduring potential of the unfinished modernist project.

Summary:
Depuis sa première édition en langue anglaise en 1980, "L'Architecture moderne : une histoire critique", est devenu un classique. L'ouvrage de Kenneth Frampton mêle en effet le ton pédagogique et accessible d'un enseignant invité dans les universités et écoles d'architecture et le point de vue d'un chercheur et critique profondément engagé dans les débats de son temps. L'auteur retrace les origines tant culturelles qu'urbaines et techniques de l'architecture moderne en remontant jusqu'au tout début du XIXe siècle. Il examine ensuite en des chapitres clairement délimités - où bâtiments et théories architecturales sont toujours éclairés par leur contexte social, politique, économique et technique - les principaux mouvements, développements nationaux ou périodes de création des grands concepteurs du XXe siècle. Enfin, en critique avisé de l'époque actuelle, il détecte et explique certains traits de l'architecture contemporaine, notamment à l'aide des concepts de " régionalisme critique " et de " pratique réflexive ". Son analyse de l'aspect plus particulièrement tectonique de certaines œuvres architecturales est à la fois originale et féconde. Une version française de la première édition de ce livre était parue en 1985, et introuvable depuis de nombreuses années. Le présent ouvrage, qui reprend la troisième et dernière édition anglaise, bénéficie d'une nouvelle traduction ainsi que d'une bibliographie revue et augmentée. Ses 377 illustrations viennent appuyer avec précision le propos de l'auteur.

Genealogy of Modern Architecture is a reference work on modern architecture by Kenneth Frampton, one of today's leading architectural theorists. Conceived as a genealogy of twentieth century architecture from 1924 to 2000, it compiles some sixteen comparative analyses of canonical modern buildings ranging from exhibition pavilions and private houses to office buildings and various kinds of public institutions. The buildings are compared in terms of their hierarchical spatial order, circulation structure and referential details. The analyses are organized so as to show what is similar and different between two paired types, thus revealing how modern tradition has been diversely inflected.

Summary:
Advocating an architecture that is "the opposite of global action," architect Angelo Bucci's work responds to the topography of the city and to its urban environment. In a lecture delivered at Columbia University's Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation, Bucci discusses work designed with his firm SPBR, projects that span from the scale of the house to the city. His built work is here accompanied by an excerpt from his doctoral dissertation, which explores how the devices available to architecture—and the sectional manipulation of groundplanes in particular—can mitigate some of the inequities and exclusions built in to the fabric of the contemporary city. An essay by Kenneth Frampton frames these projects within the rich lineage of Brazilian house design and members of the Paulista school such as Paulo Mendes da Rocha and João Batista Vilanova Artigas.
