Summary:
Le langage de l’architecture post-moderne (1) s’ouvre sur une image de destruction qui hante encore. On voit les bâtiments de Pruitt-Igoe conçus par Minoru Yamasaki à Saint-Louis s’effondrer, leurs volumes saillants se désagrègent dans la masse informe d’un nuage de poussière. Investie d’une charge symbolique décisive par Charles Jencks, cette image fait basculer un régime historique. Pour la première fois, des bâtiments issus du projet moderne sont détruits, publiquement, et selon une mise en scène. L’événement institue la destruction comme opération à la fois planificatrice et médiatique, comme acte politique à part entière. Diffusée simultanément dans le champ académique et dans la presse généraliste, l’image devient sublime. Elle infuse, encore, les imaginaires urbains. La hantise qu’elle véhicule tient à l’association d’une violence, d’un effondrement soudain et d’une projection. Détruire est envisagé comme une rupture nécessaire pour annuler ce qui existe et pour recommencer

Price:

Summary:
"Perspecta 32" is an investigation into architectural modernism in a postmodern age and exploration of surface as a subject with depth. If it is understood that we are now in age that that does not look at modernity uncritically, how does its optimistic imagery continue to play a vital role in architecture? The issue, "Resurfacing modernism", is composed of essays and images that invoke the two simultaneous meanings of the verb tu resurface. In the first sense, some of the contributors interrogate ongoing returns of past "stylistics", specially the recent vogue for postwar, mostly American, production loosely united under the rubric "The fifties". In the second, other contributors reflect upon current emphasis being placed on architectural surfaces.
