Summary:
Le Corbusier is probably the most famous and certainly the most controversial architect of the twentieth century. His impact on the urban fabric around us and on the way we live has been gigantic because of the richness and variety of his work and his passionately expressed philosophy of architecture. Weaving through his long and prolific life are certain recurrent themes — his perennial drive toward new types of dwelling, from the early white villas to the U'ité d'Habitation at Marseille; his evolving concepts of urban form, including the Plan Voisin of 1925 with its cruciform towers imposed on the city of Paris and his work at Chandigarh in India; and his belief in a new technocratic order. The distinguished critic and historian Kenneth Frampton reexamines all these facets of his artistic and philosophical worldview in the light of recent discoveries, and presents us with a Le Corbusier for the twenty-first century.

Summary:
This volume contains work, both built and unbuilt, both large-scale and small, designed in the 1990s by the firm of Philip Johnson/Alan Ritchie Architects. Alan Ritchie has worked with Johnson since 1969; the firm was established in 1994. The projects shown may be divided into two groups. Johnson’s interest in the past decade in sculptural form - or the way in which sculptural form translates into architectural presence - has led to designs that involve both new kinds of shapes and new ways of using classic architectural form to make entirely new works of architecture. Such sculptural works, for the most part small in scale, include Da Monsta, the new visitors pavilion at Johnson’s famed Glass House in New Canaan, Connecticut, and a spectacular folly consisting of four pyramids made of chain-link fencing at an estate in New York State. Simultaneously, the firm has continued its ongoing work with larger projects, such as a 27-story apartment tower for Tribeca, in lower Manhattan; the Cathedral of Hope in Dallas; an addition to the Amon Carter Museum, originally designed by Johnson in 1961, in Forth Worth, Texas; and a proposal for the architecture school at Texas A University in College Station. Also included are a pair of proposals for La Défense in Paris; three large houses; a new china design for the Four Seasons restaurant in New York; and a new public clock, sponsored by Movado, for Lincoln Center. Introduction by Paul Goldberger.

Summary:
This exhibition catalogue explores 'the cult of the ruin', a phenomenon of 18th and early 19th century Europe. Mock ruins were built as 'follies' in landscape gardens, while artists imagined how London would appear as a ruined city after the collapse of the British Empire. In Rome, interiors were painted as trompe l'oeil ruins, and in Paris the great chef Antoine Carême served blancmanges in the shape of Roman ruins. John Soane represents the climax of this fascination. In the garden of his Museum at No.13 Lincoln's Inn Fields is the 'Monk's Yard', a mock-ruin assembled from medieval fragments of the Palace of Westminster. At his country house, Pitzhanger Manor in Ealing, he pretended that a mock-classical ruin was a Roman temple he had discovered at the bottom of the garden. He commemorated the completion of his masterpiece, the Bank of England, by exhibiting a series of astonishing views of the structure as if a ruin. He even wrote a narrative, "Crude Hints Towards the History of My House", in which he imagined an archaeologist of future centuries inspecting the fragments of his home. The transcribed text is reprinted in this publication. Architects and artists include Robert Adam, William Chambers, Hubert Robert, Piranesi, Clerrisseau, Richard Wilson, J. M. W. Turner, Gustave Doré and John Martin.

This book calls upon art historians to look beyond their traditional subjects--painting, drawing, photography, and printmaking--to the vast array of "nonart" images, including those from science, technology, commerce, medicine, music, and archaeology. Such images, James Elkins asserts, can be as rich(...)

Such images, James Elkins asserts, can be as rich and expressive as any canonical painting. Using scores of illustrations as examples, he proposes a radically new way of thinking about visual analysis, one that relies on an object's own internal sense of organization.
