Summary:
Influenced by post-Bauhaus internationalism, sympathetic to the radical urban architectural vision of Team X, and a participant in the avant-garde movement Metabolism, Maki has been at the forefront of his profession for decades. This collection of essays documents the evolution of architectural modernism and Maki's own fifty-year intellectual journey during a critical period of architectural and urban history. Maki's treatment of his two overarching themes--the contemporary city and modernist architecture--demonstrates strong (and sometimes unexpected) linkages between urban theory and architectural practice. Images and commentary on three of Maki's own works demonstrate the connection between his writing and his designs.

De 1945 à 1988, il y a publié plus de 1500 articles; on trouvera ici un choix de ceux qu'il a consacrés à l'architecture et au patrimoine. Ses articles savaient créer l'événement pour un public assidu, et ils contribuèrent puissamment à susciter une conscience patrimoniale en France. Dès les années de la Reconstruction et tout au long des Trente Glorieuses, on lit dans son action l'engagement d'un homme pour le patrimoine n'est-il pas à l'origine de l'Inventaire général des monuments et des richesses artistiques de la France, créé en 1964 ? Toujours en alerte, c'est lui qui s'engage pour la sauvegarde de la villa Savoye, l'avenir des Halles, la restauration d'Avignon. A l'occasion du centenaire de sa naissance, la présente réédition rend de nouveau accessibles ces pages d'une écriture superbe, aussi précise qu'incisive, où se devine un sentiment profond d'appartenance au territoire. "L'amour [du patrimoine] se manifeste de façon instinctive dans la conscience des terroirs et de façon éclairée dans la démarche du savoir", écrivait-il en 1983.

Summary:
With the development of the first skyscrapers in the 1880s, urban built environments could expand vertically as well as horizontally. Tall buildings emerged in growing cities to house and manage the large and racially diverse populations of migrants and immigrants flocking to their centers following Reconstruction. Beginning with Chicago's early 10-story towers and concluding with the 1931 erection of the 102-story Empire State Building, Adrienne Brown's ''The Black Skyscraper'' provides a detailed account of how scale and proximity shape our understanding of race. Over the next half-century, as city skylines grew, American writers imagined the new urban backdrop as an obstacle to racial differentiation. Examining works produced by writers, painters, architects, and laborers who grappled with the early skyscraper's outsized and disorienting dimensions, Brown explores this architecture's effects on how race was seen, read, and sensed at the turn of the twentieth century.
