The book's twelve chapters and case-studies examine a range of contemporary periodicals and exhibitions to explore their role in the postmodern. This focus on mediation as a key feature of architectural post-modernism, and the recognition that post-modernism grew out of developments in the media, opens up the possibility of an important new account of post-modernism distinct from existing narratives.

Summary:
Magali Larson's comprehensive study explores how architecture "happens" and what has become of the profession in the postmodern era. Drawing from extensive interviews with pivotal architects—from Philip Johnson, who was among the first to introduce European modernism to America, to Peter Eisenman, identified with a new "deconstructionist" style—she analyzes the complex(...)

Summary:
Magali Larson's comprehensive study explores how architecture "happens" and what has become of the profession in the postmodern era. Drawing from extensive interviews with pivotal architects—from Philip Johnson, who was among the first to introduce European modernism to America, to Peter Eisenman, identified with a new "deconstructionist" style—she analyzes the complex tensions that exist between economic interest, professional status, and architectural product. She investigates the symbolic awards and recognition accorded by prestigious journals and panels, exposing the inner workings of a profession in a precarious social position. Larson captures the struggles around status, place, and power as architects seek to redefine their very purpose in contemporary America.

Summary:
Le présent ouvrage retrace l'évolution de l'architecture et de l'environnement urbain montréalais, des premières visites du Sieur de Champlain, de ce qui est devenu un peu plus tard la place Royale, jusqu'à la métropole postmoderne d'aujourd'hui. Il dresse le portrait du développement de cet organisme économique, social et culturel qu'est Montréal, par l'entremise de ses manifestations matérielles, visibles et tangibles: ses structures, ses rues, ses parcs, ses édifices publics, ses habitations, ses lieux de travail et de culte. Cette fresque historique unique, accompagnée de plus de 200 photographies en couleur et en noir et blanc, couvre quatre siècles. Jean-Claude Marsan ne se contente pas de décrire l'évolution du domaine bâti, de témoigner des traits caractéristiques de l'environnement urbain et de l'architecture selon les périodes; il essaie également de cerner et d'analyser les forces, les facteurs et les influences qui sont à l'origine des mutations et des transformations dans les formes de l'agglomération et dans les expressions architecturales. Il s'agit donc ici d'une histoire générale de l'architecture et de l'environnement bâti qui s'intéresse moins aux dates ou aux détails d'ordre esthétique qu'au milieu physique et aux hommes qui ont agi individuellement et collectivement dans et sur le milieu, selon leurs besoins, leurs technologies et leurs idéologies.

" Art et littérature populaires et commerciaux faits de chromos, de couvertures de magazines, d'illustrations, d'images publicitaires, de littérature à bon marché, de bandes dessinées, de musique de bastringue, de danse à claquettes, de films hollywoodiens, etc. ". C'est ainsi que Clement Greenberg définissait le kitsch. Suffit-il pour autant de dénigrer le kitsch, de le vilipender pour le rendre détestable aux yeux de celui qui, selon l'expression d'Hermann Broch, aime à le " produire " et à le " consommer " quel qu'en soit le prix ? Certes non, car rien, à l'heure où triomphent le libéralisme libertaire et l'individualisme postmoderne, n'est en mesure de freiner son expansion et d'atténuer sa puissance séductrice. Et c'est bien cette offensive que Valérie Arrault tente de démasquer. Subtilement, elle analyse avec humour les rapports parfois ambigus, d'attraction et de répulsion mêlées, qu'exercent le phénomène Las Vegas, le richissime objet transitionnel qu'est la poupée Barbie et Disneyland, ce monde féerique et fantasmatique de Mickey dans lequel, comme le notait déjà Walter Benjamin, l'homme d'aujourd'hui est assuré de ne vivre aucune véritable expérience esthétique et intellectuelle. Mieux encore : l'art contemporain le plus actuel se fait kitsch, comme le montrent les oeuvres et les actions de Jeff Koons ou de Pierre et Gilles, attestant la puissance hégémonique du phénomène et signant ainsi sa victoire planétaire.

Price:

(available in store)
Summary:
Whatever 'ugliness' is, it remains a problematic category in architectural aesthetics - alternately vilified and appropriated, either to shock or to invert conventions of architecture. This book presents eighteen new essays which rethink ugliness in architecture - from brutalism to eclectic postmodern architectural productions - and together offer a diverse reappraisal of the history and theory of postmodern architecture and design. The essays address both broad theoretical questions on ugliness and postmodern aesthetics, as well as more specific analyses of significant architectural examples dating from the last decades of the twentieth century, addressing the relation between the aesthetic register of ugliness and aesthetic concepts such as brutalism, kitsch, the formless, ad hoc-ism, the monstrous, or the grotesque. "Architecture and ugliness" not only documents the history of a postmodern anti-aesthetic through a diverse set of case studies, it also sheds valuable light on an aesthetic problem which has been largely overlooked in architectural discourse. It is essential reading for all students and scholars with an interest in postmodern architectural history, architectural theory and aesthetics.

Compelling continuities between the two, especially in postwar Britain, suggest that a new account is needed. This collection of provocative essays discusses the work of architects and their associates, including Alice and Peter Smithson, Robert Venturi and Denise Scott Brown, James Stirling, James Gowan, Eduardo Paolozzi, Leon Krier, Allan Greenberg, Reyner Banham, and Charles Jencks, and explores why the debate over postwar modernism was especially vocal in Britain.

As the new economy took shape, manufacturing lofts, piers, and small shops were replaced by sleek high-rise housing blocks and office towers.
