Autoritairement fermée, ses flammes s’aviveront outre-Atlantique, mais aussi dans les républiques soviétiques et jusqu’au Japon ou en Inde. Filant ce précieux héritage, les courts testes proposés par 35 artistes, designers et théoriciens français, tous chercheurs, prélèvent et commentent. Ils forment une archive subjective et précise, qui déconstruit les « mythes », soulève des questions, ouvre des pistes et permet de découvrir des aspects essentiels et parfois insolites de la période bauhaus et des années qui suivirent.

It is an architectural concept as alluring as it is elusive, as futuristic as it is primordial. Megastructure is what it sounds like: a vastly scaled edifice that can contain potentially countless uses, contexts, and adaptations. Theorized and briefly experimented with in built form in the 1960s, megastructures almost as quickly went out of fashion in the profession. But(...)

Summary:
It is an architectural concept as alluring as it is elusive, as futuristic as it is primordial. Megastructure is what it sounds like: a vastly scaled edifice that can contain potentially countless uses, contexts, and adaptations. Theorized and briefly experimented with in built form in the 1960s, megastructures almost as quickly went out of fashion in the profession. But Reyner Banham's 1976 book compiled the origin stories and ongoing mythos of this visionary movement, seeking to chart its lively rise, rapid fall, and ongoing meaning. Now back in print after decades Megastructure: Urban Futures of the Recent Past is part of the recent surge in attention to this quixotic form, of which some examples were built but to this day remains--decades after its codification--more of a poetic idea than a real architectural type.

Leur réalisation est l'une des plus belles prouesses de l'usage du béton armé. Au bâtiment principal - la célèbre " étoile à trois branches " - s'ajouteront par la suite trois autres édifices. A l'ombre des bâtiments, Isamu Noguchi réalise son fameux jardin japonais, ou " Jardin de la Paix ". Pendant le chantier, un " comité pour l'architecture et les oeuvres d'art " est mis en place pour sélectionner des artistes chargés d'exécuter une ouvre monumentale pour un emplacement précis : on compte ainsi des sculptures d'Henry Moore, d'Alexander Calder et d'Eduardo Chillida à l'extérieur, et à l'intérieur une céramique de Joan Miró ainsi qu'une fresque monumentale de Picasso. En plus de ce noyau initial, l'Unesco a acquis au fil des ans d'autres ouvres et cette " maison de l'Unesco ", symbole de paix universelle et de diversité culturelle, compte aujourd'hui plus de 700 oeuvres d'art.

Summary:
“Architects, sculptors, painters, we all must return to the crafts!” declared architect Walter Gropius in his Bauhaus manifesto. Founded in 1919 as an art school in Weimar, the Bauhaus established itself as a major influence on twentieth- century art and design. Bauhaus students were taught by some of the most celebrated artists of the time, including Paul Klee, Lyonel Feininger, and Wassily Kandinsky. Having moved to Berlin in 1932 under architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, it was forced to close for good by the Gestapo in 1933. Uncovering the sources of inspiration that brought the Bauhaus into existence, from medieval cathedrals of Europe and Hokusai prints to William Morris and Arts and Crafts, The Spirit of the Bauhaus explores workshops and courses in detail, illustrating the extraordinary wealth of experimentation in every medium: ceramics, wood and metalwork, textiles, glass- painting, sculpture, mural, printing and binding, theater, architecture, and photography. This essential and accessible guide to the Bauhaus, published in time for the 100th anniversary of the school in 2019, celebrates a school that continues to be recognized as the most durable and influential source of modern ideas about art, design, and craft.
