Summary:
In the 1960s and ’70s, architects, influenced by recent developments in computing and the rise of structuralist and poststructuralist thinking, began to radically rethink how architecture could be created. Though various new approaches gained favor, they had one thing in common: they advocated moving away from the traditional reliance on an individual architect’s(...)

Though various new approaches gained favor, they had one thing in common: they advocated moving away from the traditional reliance on an individual architect’s knowledge and instincts and toward the use of external tools and processes that were considered objective, logical, or natural. Automatic architecture was born.

In Venetian incarnations of modernism, the anachronistic urban fabric and vestigial sentiment that both the nation-state of Italy and the historical avant-garde would cast off become incompletely assimilated parts of the new.

Summary:
Many people think modernist architecture never flowered in California north of the San Fernando Valley. "NorCalMod" dispels that notion in an illustrated history showcasing examples of its contribution to the Bay Area and environs. As a style, modernist architecture was hotly debated in its day (why create modern structures where such distinctive Victorian and Arts and Crafts buildings already existed?) pulling heavyweights such as Frank Lloyd Wright, Lewis Mumford, and Walter Gropius into the fray. Ultimately, that existing "Bay Region Style" would remain the area's architectural hallmark, but not before hundreds of important modernist projects, many still standing yet unjustly neglected today, had been established. The photos in this book open our eyes to a long-lost chapter in the history of California architecture.

Duffy illuminates speed as a logic and genuine pleasure of modernity. He plunges full-throttle into speed's 'adrenaline aesthetics,' offering deft readings of works ranging from F.

Summary:
Duffy illuminates speed as a logic and genuine pleasure of modernity. He plunges full-throttle into speed's 'adrenaline aesthetics,' offering deft readings of works ranging from F. Scott Fitzgerald's "The Great Gatsby", through J. G. Ballard's "Crash", to the cautionary consumerism of Ralph Nader. He describes how speed changed understandings of space, distance, chance, and violence; how the experience of speed was commodified in the dawning era of mass consumption; and how people were incited to abhor slowness and desire speed. He examines how they were trained by new media such as the cinema to see, hear, and sense speed, and how speed, demanded of the efficient assembly-line worker, was given back to that worker as the chief thrill of leisure. Assessing speed's political implications, Duffy considers how speed pleasure was offered to citizens based on criteria including their ability to pay and their gender, and how speed quickly became something to be patrolled by governments. Drawing on novels, news reports, photography, advertising, and much more, Duffy provides a breakneck tour through the cultural dynamics of speed.

Joseph Eichler was a pioneering developer who defied conventional wisdom by hiring progressive architects to design modernist homes for the growing middle class of the 1950s. He was known for his innovations, including "built-ins" for streamlined kitchen work, for introducing a multipurpose room adjacent to the kitchen, and for the classic atrium that melded the indoors(...)

Summary:
Joseph Eichler was a pioneering developer who defied conventional wisdom by hiring progressive architects to design modernist homes for the growing middle class of the 1950s. He was known for his innovations, including "built-ins" for streamlined kitchen work, for introducing a multipurpose room adjacent to the kitchen, and for the classic atrium that melded the indoors with the outdoors. For nearly twenty years, Eichler Homes built thousands of dwellings in California, acquiring national and international acclaim. Eichler: Modernism Rebuilds the American Dream examines Eichler's legacy as seen in his original homes and in the revival of the Modernist movement, which continues to grow today. The homes that Eichler built were modern in concept and expression, and yet comfortable for living. Eichler's work left a legacy of design intergrity and set standards for housing developers that remain unparalleled in the history of American building. This book captures and illustrates that legacy with impressive detail, engaging history, firsthand recollections about Eichler and his vision, and 250 photographs of Eichler homes in their prime.

Comme son maître, l'architecte montréalais fut avant tout un bâtisseur de maisons. Toujours fidèle aux principes de l'architecture organique, notamment l'intégration de l'œuvre au milieu naturel et le respect de la propriété des matériaux, il sut, grâce à une recherche persistante, concevoir des formes nouvelles qui lui permirent de créer un style personnel. Roger d'Astous apporta aussi une contribution exceptionnelle à l'architecture religieuse qui franchissait une étape de renouveau au moment où il entamait sa carrière. Sa production d'autres types d'édifices fut moins soutenue, mais presque chaque fois son intervention dans ces domaines a donné lieu à des œuvres qui se démarquent par leur originalité, comme en témoigne l'élégant Château Champlain à Montréal.

Les matériaux ont joué un rôle très important sur la genèse du modernisme. Ils ont été utilisés en fonction de leurs propriétés techniques pour réaliser des structures aux caractéristiques complexes et sans des exigences esthétiques. Le talent de nombreux architectes fut nécessaire pour découvrir le potentiel esthétique de ces matériaux. De nos jours, la situation est totalement différente. Les architectes ne doivent plus adapter leurs conceptions à quelques matériaux. Aujourd'hui ils sont très variés et disposent de propriétés faites sur mesure et il est même possible de commander la production de matériaux aux caractéristiques spécifiques. Cet ouvrage fait le point sur les principaux matériaux de constructions: le plastique, le bois, le verre, le béton et le métal. Toutes les caractéristiques spécifiques de chacun de ces matériaux sont expliquées de manière très précise au moyen de croquis, de tableaux et d'images, illustrant leur potentiel et capacités architecturales.
