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.

Summary:
In the spring of 1900, British archaeologist Arthur Evans began to excavate the palace of Knossos on Crete, bringing ancient Greek legends to life just as a new century dawned amid far-reaching questions about human history, art, and culture. Over the next three decades, Evans engaged in an unprecedented reconstruction project, creating a complex of concrete buildings on the site that owed at least as much to modernist architecture as they did to Bronze Age remains. In the process, he fired the imaginations of a whole generation of intellectuals and artists, whose work would drive movements as disparate as fascism and pacifism, feminism and psychoanalysis. With Knossos and the Prophets of Modernism, Cathy Gere relates the fascinating story of Evans’s excavation and its long-term effects on Western culture.

Summary:
"Encounter educational modernism" productively revisits the University of Lethbridge, Alberta, an iconic campus from the late 1960s by Canadian architect Arthur Erickson. The university is recognized for its architectural vision, its linear relationship with the spectacular landscape, and its dynamic spatial imagination of education as an expansive encounter. Designing the interdisciplinary university as a city within one building, including student housing, the campus stages public spaces of encounter to activate the concept of the student as a global citizen in a new world order. This sixties humanist imagination of the student shapes the spatial program of the architecture, a program which clashes with the current neoliberal view of the student as entrepreneur. The third book in Bitter and Weber's series on architecture and the educational complex, Encounter Educational Modernism is an artistic research project on the architecture of the University of Lethbridge and on modernist imaginations of education. It includes photographs and an introduction from the artists and contributions from University of Lethbridge professor Victoria Baster and poet and educator Jeff Derksen. The series Educational Modernism is published in cooperation with Camera Austria and will be continued with a focus on The Workers University Zagreb by Yugoslavian architects Radovan Niksic and Ninoslav Kucan.

Jean Bossu (1912-1983) fait partie des disciples de Le Corbusier dont l'oeuvre est restée longtemps méconnue. Auteur d'innombrables projets et enseignant charismatique, il fut toute sa carrière durant un homme à la fois engagé dans le combat moderne et totalement libre. Son chef-d'oeuvre, le centre Saint-Réparatus à Orléansville (Algérie), a été détruit en 1980 lors d'un tremblement de terre. Comme en bien d'autres occasions, l'architecte y avait montré sa capacité à marier architecture vernaculaire et modernisme. Ses maisons individuelles. sur la côte vendéenne, sa contribution à la reconstruction en Picardie, ses réalisations à La Réunion et en Algérie, son fascinant projet théorique pour une artère résidentielle, enfin son inaltérable foi dans l'architecture, en font l'une des figures les plus attachantes de son temps. Cet ouvrage est la première monographie qui lui est consacrée.
