Price:

Summary:
Writing from inside the discipline of architecture, rather than from the more common extrapolations from the history of painting and philosophy, Alberto Pérez-Gómez and Louise Pelletier focus on the implications of the tool of perspective (and the hegemony of vision) for architectural representation. Their primary thesis is that tools of representation have a direct influence on the conceptual development of projects and generation of forms, and that there are alternatives to the reductive working methods of most contemporary practice. The book examines textual evidence across a broad historical period, concentrating on the relationship between drawing and architectural space in the period from the seventh century to the twentieth century. The book discusses such issues as optical correction and the nature of architectural drawing in selected treatises, revealing the complexity and potential contradiction inherent in any linear history of representation. The authors' ultimate aim is to probe the possibilities of the constructed world as a poetic translation, rather than prosaic transcription, of its representations.

Summary:
"Architecture, un art nécessaire" s'efforce de répondre à la question : " l'architecture, c'est quoi ? " Jean Jenger ne part pas de considérations historiques ou esthétiques. Il appréhende l'architecture dans sa réalité immédiate, matérielle et objective. En considérant que tout espace construit par l'homme pour l'homme est architecture, il offre un nouveau regard sur cet art omniprésent. L'architecture n'est pas le produit de l'architecte seul. Intimement enracinée dans la société, elle en retranscrit les forces et les faiblesses, les ambitions et les doutes. Art nécessaire et incontournable plus qu'aucun autre, elle peut rendre la vie des hommes plus facile ou plus malaisée. Elle est donc politique. Pourtant, le politique, qui lui porte généralement peu d'intérêt, en connaît mal l'importance et les enjeux. Le texte de l'auteur est étayé par de nombreux écrits puisés, depuis Vitruve, chez les historiens, architectes, ingénieurs, philosophes, hommes politiques... et par une iconographie abondante au service des idées. Préface de Paul Chemetov.

Privacy and publicity : modern architecture as mass media

Price:

(available to order)
Summary:
Through a series of close readings of two major figures of the modern movement, Adolf Loos and Le Corbusier, Beatriz Colomina argues that architecture only becomes modern in its engagement with the mass media, and that in so doing it radically displaces the traditional sense of space and subjectivity. "Privacy and Publicity" questions certain ideological assumptions underlying the received view of modern architecture and reconsiders the methodology of architectural criticism itself. Where conventional criticism portrays modern architecture as a high artistic practice in opposition to mass culture, Colomina sees the emerging systems of communication that have come to define twentieth-century culture -- the mass media -- as the true site within which modern architecture was produced. She considers architectural discourse as the intersection of a number of systems of representation such as drawings, models, photographs, books, films, and advertisements. This does not mean abandoning the architectural object, the building, but rather looking at it in a different way. The building is understood here in the same way as all the media that frame it, as a mechanism of representation in its own right.

Summary:
In this fascinating and innovative look at nineteenth-century London, this book offers a new account of modernity and metropolitan life. It charts the relationship between London's formation into a modern organized city in the 1860s and the emergence of new types of production and consumption of visual culture. She considers the role visual images played in the creation of a vibrant and diverse urban culture and how new kinds of publics were created for these representations. Shifting the focus of the history of modernity from Paris to London, Nead here argues for a different understanding of gender and public space in a society where women joined the everyday life of city streets and entered the debates concerning morality, spectacle, and adventure. The book draws on texts and images of many kinds -- including acts of Parliament, literature, newspaper reports, private letters, maps, paintings, advertisements, posters, and banned obscene publications. Taking a highly interdisciplinary approach, Nead explores such intriguing topics as the efforts of urban improvers to move water, air, traffic, goods, and people in the Victorian metropolis; the impact of gas lighting and glass on urban leisure; and the obscenity legislation that emerged in response to new forms of visual mass culture that were perceived as dangerous and pervasive.
