Summary:
Mediated Messages presents a collection of original writing exploring the role played by the media in the development of postmodern architecture in the 1970s and 80s. The book's twelve chapters and case-studies examine a range of contemporary periodicals and exhibitions to explore their role in the postmodern. This focus on mediation as a key feature of architectural post-modernism, and the recognition that post-modernism grew out of developments in the media, opens up the possibility of an important new account of post-modernism distinct from existing narratives.

Parmi les courants et mouvements - divers et contradictoires - nés dans l'entre-deux-guerres, le modernisme a rêvé de changer la vie en métamorphosant l'architecture alors que l'Art Déco a exprimé la modernité d'une bourgeoisie entreprenante et libérée des préjugés moraux d'avant-guerre.

Summary:
Parmi les courants et mouvements - divers et contradictoires - nés dans l'entre-deux-guerres, le modernisme a rêvé de changer la vie en métamorphosant l'architecture alors que l'Art Déco a exprimé la modernité d'une bourgeoisie entreprenante et libérée des préjugés moraux d'avant-guerre. Ces courants et mouvements vont connaître, au cours même du siècle qui les a vu naître, de nombreuses réactualisations. Libérés de leur ancrage historique et social, ils vont tour à tour nourrir la pensée architecturale et s'introduire dans la polémique et le débat sur la ville et son urbanisation. Qu'il s'agisse de maisons particulières, d'immeubles à appartements ou de bureaux, de cités-jardins ou sociales, de bâtiments publics ou industriels, d'églises ou encore de lieux de divertissement ou d'aménagements paysagers, Bruxelles conserve de nombreux témoignages architecturaux illustrant l'Art Déco et le modernisme. L'Exposition internationale des Arts décoratifs et industriels modernes de Paris, en 1925, joua un rôle crucial pour les arts décoratifs belges. Elle constitua une impulsion créative pour certains commerces bruxellois qui se profilèrent alors en ensembliers. Les Expositions universelles de 1935 et 1958 ont, elles aussi, exercé une influence urbanistique considérable sur la capitale, générant d'importants travaux d'infrastructure et un programme de construction de grande envergure, dans l'ensemble de la région.

Summary:
In ''Making Dystopia,'' architectural historian James Stevens Curl tells the story of the advent of architectural Modernism in the aftermath of the First World War, its protagonists, and its astonishing, almost global acceptance after 1945. He argues forcefully that the triumph of architectural Modernism in the second half of the twentieth century led to massive destruction, the creation of alien urban landscapes, and a huge waste of resources. Moreover, the coming of Modernism was not an inevitable, seamless evolution, as many have insisted, but a massive, unparalled disruption that demanded a clean slate and the elimination of all ornament, decoration, and choice.
