Summary:
The first issue of the legendary architecture journal "Pencil Points" appeared in 1920 as "a journal for the drafting room." Born out of "The Architectural Review", and merged with "Progressive Architecture" in 1943, "Pencil Points" became the leading voice in architectural and graphic design when modernism flourished, introducing key players from America and Europe. It also established the agenda in architectural theory: multivolume pieces by John Harbeson, Talbot Hamlin, Hugh Ferris, and others dealt with major issues that are still relevant today - architectural education and practice, small-house design and portable housing, city planning, and the influence (or not) of modernism. Items like George Nelson's series of reports from Europe in the early 1930's, H. Van Buren Magonigle's diatribes against modernism, and a glossary of École des Beaux-Arts terms sit side-by-side with the best architectural drawings and photographs of the 20th century. "Pencil Points Reader" re-publishes the most important essays from the journal's 23 years, arranged chronologically, and offers an insider's introduction by John Morris Dixon, the former executive editor of "Progressive Architecture".

Summary:
From the seventeenth century until today, the "modern" has served as a key category by which to understand an ever-changing present. Art and architecture have played a key role in this pursuit, as the means by which "the modern" was to manifest itself.

Summary:
From the seventeenth century until today, the "modern" has served as a key category by which to understand an ever-changing present. Art and architecture have played a key role in this pursuit, as the means by which "the modern" was to manifest itself. The essays in this new anthology trace the modern project through its multifarious manifestation in order to understand contemporary culture in a deeper sense than discussions of "modernism" and "post modernism" usually offer. Drawing on architectural and urban history as well as philosophy and sociology, the book outlines the complex and conflicting roots of modernity by tracing its manifestations in architecture and the city.

Summary:
The act of building and its material reality play a defining role in the work of Swiss architect Roger Boltshauser. His architectural language thus develops in the context of the examination of materials and their intrinsic constructive and structural possibilities. Edited by architect and lecturer Martin Tschanz, this monograph examines how Boltshauser’s architecture is neither an implementation of a pictorial idea nor a display of a certain principle. Rather, it is integrative and open to complexity, particularly that of the act of building itself. Contrary to the abstractness of modernism and neo-modernism and the arbitrariness of free forms, his is a unique, contemporary expression.

Summary:
This publication is a monography on Alvar Aalto, one of the key exponents of Modernism and the International Style. He began his career in the 1920s with buildings in the Nordic Classical style, but was drawn to International Modernism by the end of the decade. Aalto's Paimio Sanatorium (1929-1933) can be counted as a masterwork of the period in the global context. In the mid-1930s, Aalto broke away from the Modernist group known as CIAM to develop his own vocabulary of form in a more complex direction and he created the free-form approach to design for which his architecture became world famous.
