Summary:
Publié pour la première fois en 1933, cet essai développe l'idée que l'architecture de la période révolutionnaire constitue une rupture avec la tradition issue de la Renaissance. E. Kaufmann souligne le passage au cours de cette période d'une architecture hétéronome à une architecture autonome qui se traduit par l'indépendance des parties de l'édifice et des édifices entre eux.

Without normalizing his edgy radicality, author Joseph Masheck argues that Loos's masterful "astylistic architecture" was an appreciation of tradition and utility and not, as most architectural historians have argued, a mere repudiation of the florid style of the Vienna Secession.

Masheck has reads Loos as a witty, ironic rhetorician who has all too often been taken at face value. Far from being the anti-architect of the modern era, Masheck's Loos is 'an unruly yet integrally canonical artist-architect'.

In this suggestive inquiry into the operations of linearity in architectural theory and practice, Catherine Ingraham investigates the line as both a conceptual and a literal force in architecture. She approaches her subject from philosophical, theoretical, practical, and historical points of view, finding many places of convergence between architecture and other fields. She considers maps, architectural plans, the laws of geometry, systems of architectural knowledge, and mythologies of architectural origin in works of Le Corbusier, Vitruvius, Alberti, Tafuri, Derrida, Lévi-Strauss, Shakespeare, Lacan, Deleuze, Rilke, and Stendhal.

Rykwert plunges deep into architectural history, tracing the development of the classic orders from Greece to Rome and on through the Renaissance in France and Italy. He says the relationship between the human body and architecture is "deeply ingrained in all recorded architectural thinking." He especially sees a close tie between the body and the column, the essential building block of architectural order.

The columns are organized thematically, providing an accessible and thought-provoking view of architecture in the 1990s, from soaring skyscrapers to vibrant immigrant neighborhoods, troubled public housing projects, and sprawling suburbs. Because Chicago serves as a barometer of national design trends, these writings shed new light on American architecture and urbanism during a decade that Kamin labels "The Nervous Nineties"--a period of unparalleled affluence and underlying anxiety, of soothing retro buildings and provocative new ones that express the frenzied state of modern life.

When Friedrich Gilly died in 1800 at the age of twenty-eight, his architectural career spanned less than a decade and none of his major designs had been built. Nevertheless, his ideas so influenced Berlin architecture for the next century that today he is widely regarded as the founder of that city's modern architectural tradition.

Nevertheless, his ideas so influenced Berlin architecture for the next century that today he is widely regarded as the founder of that city's modern architectural tradition. Framed by Fritz Neumeyer's cogent introductory analysis, these new translations of five of Gilly's essays are accompanied by previously unpublished archival records and an illuminating catalog of his personal library. The result is a provocative and novel historical perspective of an artistically vibrant epoch.

Uncommon ground : architecture, technology, and topography

Summary:
Although both are central to architecture, siting and construction are often treated as separate domains. In "Uncommon Ground", David Leatherbarrow illuminates their relationship, focusing on the years between 1930 and 1960, when utopian ideas about the role of technology in building gave way to an awareness of its disruptive impact on cities and culture. He examines the work of three architects, Richard Neutra, Antonin Raymond, and Aris Konstantinidis, who practiced in the United States, Japan, and Greece respectively. Leatherbarrow rejects the assumption that buildings of the modern period, particularly those that used the latest technology, were designed without regard to their surroundings. Although the prefabricated elements used in the buildings were designed independent of siting considerations, architects used these elements to modulate the environment. Leatherbarrow shows how the role of walls, the traditional element of architectural definition and platform partition, became less significant than that of the platforms themselves, the floors, ceilings, and intermediate levels. He shows how frontality was replaced by the building's four-sided extension into its surroundings, resulting in frontal configurations previously characteristic of the back. Arguing that the boundary between inside and outside was radically redefined, Leatherbarrow challenges cherished notions about the autonomy of the architectural object and about regional coherence. Modern architectural topography, he suggests, is an interplay of buildings, landscapes, and cities, as well as the humans who use them. The conflict between technological progress and cultural continuity, Leatherbarrow claims, exists only in theory, not in the real world of architecture. He argues that the act of building is not a matter of restoring regional identity by re-creating familiar signs, but of incorporating construction into the process of topography's perpetual becoming.

Summary:
Mass culture is a fact. Its irresistible vitality and force are enthusiastically exploited by all manner of enterprises, whether network providers for mobile phones, hip lifestyle magazines or trendy fashion labels. Oddly enough, architecture and urban planning have so far failed to exploit the potential offered by mass culture. This book presents the findings of a study by studio Sputnik, a Rotterdam-based architecture practice, of the opportunities that mass culture presents for architecture. "Snooze" analyses products successful in consumer society and relates the patterns behind their success to the city. The nature and importance of communication proves to be pivotal to architecture's role. What does a building signify, what does it communicate? "Snooze" is not about style or form, nor is it about commercial motives or technical ingenuity. It adds a new voice to architectural discourse at the intersection of theory and design. The surprising insights that this book offers are presented in a highly visual essay.
