Summary:
Cette somme rassemble un choix de textes partis et inédits, fruit de trente années de recherche sur l'art du dix-neuvième siècle à nos jours. Elle propose un récit foisonnant, vivant, lacunaire, érudit. L'art moderne a renouvelé les modes de perception, les définitions et les hiérarchies, le vocabulaire et la syntaxe des formes ; depuis l'invention de la photographie, premier procédé d'enregistrement, il n'a cessé de se réinventer, entre oeuvre et activité. Jean-François Chevrier écarte les périodisations convenues (modernisme, postmodernisme) et les labels. Il fait apparaître des mécanismes de création, des réseaux de figures et des territoires qui participent de l'histoire autant que de la poésie.

Summary:
Fondateurs pince-sans-rire d'une agence au nom très administratif d'Allgemeine Entwurfsanstalt (Institut de conception générale), Trix et Robert Haussmann déteignent à peine dans le paysage post-dadaïstes zurichois. Formés aux arts appliqués, côtoyant dès les années cinquante certains des maîtres helvétiques du modernisme, on les retrouve pourtant, vingt ans plus tard, auprès des tenants italiens d'un certain postmodernisme ! Adepte d'un éclectisme stylistique expérimenté sur leurs Lehrstücke – pièces didactiques à la croisée de l'architecture, du mobilier et du modèle réduit – et auteur d'un bref « manifeste » pour un Manierismo critico, le couple alterne avec humour les registres et références culturels de ces deux bassins linguistiques...

Summary:
The radical ideas associated with Postmodernism swept through the arts in the 1970s, but have always been hard to summarise. Postmodernism: Style and Subversion 1970-90 presents the movement as not merely an aesthetic vocabulary, but also as a subversive attitude - a new way of looking at the world. Bringing together practitioners, theorists and critics, this book assesses the impact of the phenomenon on all areas of art and design. It covers architecture, interiors and urban planning; product, graphic and furniture design; the fashion and style industries; and photography, film, television and video

Summary:
Sait-on que Paris, fameuse «capitales du XIXe siècle», compte davantage de mètres carrés logés dans des architectures du XXe siècle que dans celles héritées de tous les autres siècles confondus? Et cette présence massive se double d'une variété à nulle autre comparable dans les formes, les dimensions, les plans ou les méthodes de construction. Des efflorescences de l'Art nouveau aux couleurs du postmodernisme, tous les genres, ou presque, ont eu droit de cité à Paris. Mais une ville n'est pas un catalogue de styles prédéfinis, fussent-ils représentés par des personnalités prestigieuses. C'est en considérant l'ensemble du bâti parisien, y compris dans es réalisations méconnues, que l'on prend la mesure pleine et entière de l'évolution du paysage architectural.

Summary:
The past twenty years have seen profound changes in the field of graphic communication. As the computer has become a ubiquitous tool, there has been an explosion of creativity in graphic design; designers and typographers have jettisoned existing rules and forged experimental new approaches. "No more rules" is a critical survey offering an overview of the graphic revolution during the postmodern period. A presentation into key developments and themes : the origins of postmodern design; deconstructionist design and theory; issues of appropriation; the revolution in digital type; questions of authorship; and critiques of postmodern graphic design. Each theme is illustrated by examples of work produced between 1980 and 2000.

Summary:
First published in 2017 as Revisiting Postmodernism, this refreshed edition of a seminal text reflects on a design movement that changed our world. Postmodernism invites readers to explore the style in a new light, as the cultural phenomenon that it is, one which thrives on complexity and pluralism. Exploring its expression not only in architecture, but in design, urban planning and placemaking, Postmodernism reflects on the history of the movement and its continuing influence on design practice today. Sir Terry Farrell and Adam Nathaniel Furman present two separate but complementary perspectives of this rich period of architectural history; one account as lived experience from a protagonist and pioneer in the field of postmodern architecture, and the other analysing the movement afresh, through the lens of the 21st century. Shedding new light onto the forces and influences of the time, and offering insight into how these were transforming approaches to architecture both in the UK and internationally, this important book presents a new appreciation of this period of architectural history.
