Summary:
Sigurd Lewerentz (1885 - 1975) was one of the major Swedish architects of the twentieth century and was particularly known for his important religious works. This definitive monograph is the only comprehensive survey of his work, celebrating his sensitive and distinctive response to modernism in a detailed survey of both built and planned projects. These span his embrace and rejection of the classical language of architecture and his turn instead towards modernism and a more austere design vocabulary.

Summary:
From the outset the role of the atlas has extended beyond the geographic to the historical. It has been used as a means of comprehensively describing history as well as, of course, a tool for the teaching of history. Barkow Leibinger's Bricoleur Bricolage atlas is a historical tool of an altogether different sort from the sixteenth-century European projects and their many descendants interested in the mapping of all history. Yet this atlas shares with its early modern origins a belief in comprehensiveness, orderliness and chronology – in this case, of the projects, research and ideas that the Berlin office of Barkow Leibinger have undertaken during the past few years, or to be more precise, since such activities were catalogued last, in Barkow Leibinger: An Atlas of Fabrication, published by the Architectural Association in 2009.

Adolf Loos was an eloquent voice against the squandering of fine materials, ornamentation and unnecessary embellishments. The rational underpinnings of his later assertion that “ornament is crime” first appear in these polemical thrusts at the stylized work of the Viennese secessionists.

Adolf Loos was an eloquent voice against the squandering of fine materials, ornamentation and unnecessary embellishments. The rational underpinnings of his later assertion that “ornament is crime” first appear in these polemical thrusts at the stylized work of the Viennese secessionists. Few are acquainted with his amusing, incisive, critical and philosophical literary works on applied design and the essence of style in fin de siecle Vienna.

Summary:
This book contains the first English-language translation of Propeadeutic Contribution to the Teaching of Architecture Theory (1957), a seminal text, published in Portuguese by the Italo-Brazilian Bo Bardi. It is arguably the first published writing on architecture theory by a practicing woman architect. Accompanying the translation is an introductory essay that interprets Bo Bardi’s text as a critical and constructive theory of architecture built from a collection of textual and visual artifacts. This translation clearly renders Bo Bardi’s work in English, and contextualizes it theoretically, taking into account the specific historical sources and contemporaneous discourses from which it draws. With comparisons to other important architectural pedagogies and theoretical texts of the period, it is also an inquiry into the nature of architecture history and theory, its role in education and its relation to practice.
