Résumé:
The author describes and analyzes the architecture of the palaces, synagogues, railroad stations, and department stores that architects and developers designed and built in Paris, Vienna, Budapest, Berlin, New York, Chicago and other cities. This richly illustrated history begins with the dramatic changes in nineteenth-century society and culture that liberated the first generation of Jews from the ghettos of Venice, Prague, and Frankfurt. It concludes with the modernism of the 1920s and 1930s. The book combines family history, urban history, and the history of architecture and architects with a history of Jews and Jewish thought.

Résumé:
As Timothy Leary's tune-in-turn-on-drop-out message spread across the country, idealistic and anarchic enclaves mushroomed with names like Drop City and Morning Star - many experimenting with alternative forms of energy, recycling, and means of sustainability. For the first time, in rich documentary illustration material, these ephemeral spaces are brought together in this book. Many of the photographs have never been published before. They are explained and displayed in detail by an extensive text by acclaimed author Alistair Gordon.

The destruction meted out on Britain's city center during the 20th century, by the combined efforts of the Luftwaffe and brutalist city planners, is legendary. Medieval churches, Tudor alleyways, Georgian terraces, and Victorian theatres vanished forever, to be replaced by a gruesome landscape of concrete office blocks and characterless shopping malls.

Résumé:
The destruction meted out on Britain's city center during the 20th century, by the combined efforts of the Luftwaffe and brutalist city planners, is legendary. Medieval churches, Tudor alleyways, Georgian terraces, and Victorian theatres vanished forever, to be replaced by a gruesome landscape of concrete office blocks and characterless shopping malls. Now, for the first time, architectural historian Gavin Stamp shows exactly what has been lost. Reproduced in this haunting volume are hundreds of top-quality photographs of cities, showing streets and buildings that are gone forever. The accompanying text traces their creation and destruction, remembering the massive campaign to save the Euston Arch, wantonly demolished in 1962, and mourning the loss of lovely medieval Coventry, which was already doomed by the city planners even before German air raids intervened. Alternately fascinating, enraging, and heartbreaking, this is an extraordinary evocation of Britain's architectural past, and a much-needed reminder of the importance of preserving heritage.

Résumé:
What does it mean to practice architecture today? Does Italian architecture exist? What characterizes it? What values and objectives do you refer to when designing your architecture, and why? These are the questions recently put to 20 cutting-edge architectural firms working in Italy today. The answers come together in "Italy Now? Country Positions in Architecture", which presents the architects’written responses in parallel with their design work. Edited by Alberto Alessi, this bilingual book also contains critical essays by Pier Vittorio Aureli and Gabriele Mastrigli. Noted Italian photographers Gabriele Basilico, Francesco Jodice, Armin Linke, and Alberto Muciaccia have contributed their visions of Italy - the land and people as well as the architecture - to deepen the context of this book. Based on an exhibit held at Cornell University as well as on two related conferences, one in Ithaca and the other in New York City, "Italy Now?" offers an intriguing look at contemporary Italian architecture - its physical expression and the thinking behind it.

Résumé:
In this comprehensive survey, Richard Weston traces the course of Modernism from its beginnings to its contemporary manifestations. He explores the Modernist movements of the early twentieth century – Cubism, Surrealism, Futurism and Purism – and concludes with the ‘post-modernist’ experiments of the 1980s and 1990s. He shows how the ‘tradition of the new’ became the creative credo of a small group of progressive artists and how, with the emigration of leading German modernists to Britain and the USA in the 1930s, the theory and practice of Modernism became widespread. What had begun as a cluster of loosely related artistic movements scattered across Europe emerged as the dominant style of the twentieth century.
