Résumé:
Edition Bauhaus 46 When Dessau was bombed in early 1945, the Director’s House and Moholy-Nagy’s Master House were reduced to rubble as well. After the Dessau Masters’ Houses – epitome of the 20th-century artists’ colony – had been restored to their original state in the 1990s, a debate began on the reconstruction of the two houses destroyed in the war. In 2010, after consultation with the British star architect David Chipperfield, the decision was made to recreate the Master Houses of Gropius and Moholy-Nagy using contemporary means, rather than rebuilding them 1:1. And so they have now been reconstructed on the basis of designs by the Berlin firm Bruno-Fioretti-Marquez, as innovative reductions and abstractions of the original houses. This volume describes the chequered history of the Dessau Masters’ Houses, presenting the reconstructed buildings for the first time in book form, with photographs by Armin Linke and Heidi Specker.

Résumé:
What is the role of architecture if not to realize a shared vision of the “good life,” a vision that in the age of architectural modernism shaped—and was shaped by—a range of ideas about the home? With "The good life", Iñaki Ábalos serves as our guide for a tour of seven iconic twentieth-century homes that represent various concepts for living. Some of the homes were actually built, while others were merely planned, painted, or created as part of a film set. We see Mies van der Rohe’s House with Three Patios, Martin Heidegger’s cabin in the Black Forest, Picasso’s Villa La Californie in Cannes, and the New York loft that Andy Warhol called The Factory. From the ultramodern geometric houses and gardens in Jacques Tati’s Mon Oncle, we travel to the famed hobby-kit house in Buster Keaton’s One Week and on to the sunny swimming pool and home in David Hockney’s painting A Bigger Splash. Ábalos guides readers through the key philosophical precepts that likely guided the creation of these homes, making insightful points about the relationship between ideas about a particular modern way of living and approaches to architecture and design. What he concludes is that modernism marks less a coherent triumph of positivism, as is often assumed, than a loose celebration of the radical pluralism of the twentieth century.

Fruit du travail commun de trois architectes - le Français Bernard Zehrfuss, l'Américain d'origine hongroise Marcel Breuer et l'Italien Pier Luigi Nervi - le siège de l'Unesco est inauguré à Paris, le 3 novembre 1958 à la suite d'une consultation qui rassembla les plus grands noms de l'architecture mondiale. Leur réalisation est l'une des plus belles prouesses de l'usage du béton armé. Au bâtiment principal - la célèbre " étoile à trois branches " - s'ajouteront par la suite trois autres édifices. A l'ombre des bâtiments, Isamu Noguchi réalise son fameux jardin japonais, ou " Jardin de la Paix ". Pendant le chantier, un " comité pour l'architecture et les oeuvres d'art " est mis en place pour sélectionner des artistes chargés d'exécuter une ouvre monumentale pour un emplacement précis : on compte ainsi des sculptures d'Henry Moore, d'Alexander Calder et d'Eduardo Chillida à l'extérieur, et à l'intérieur une céramique de Joan Miró ainsi qu'une fresque monumentale de Picasso. En plus de ce noyau initial, l'Unesco a acquis au fil des ans d'autres ouvres et cette " maison de l'Unesco ", symbole de paix universelle et de diversité culturelle, compte aujourd'hui plus de 700 oeuvres d'art.

After World War II, West Germans and West Berliners found ways of communicating both their recent sufferings and aspirations for stable communities through buildings that fused the ruins of historicist structures with new constructions rooted in the modernism of the 1910s and ‘20s. As 'Modernism as Memory' illustrates, these postwar practices undergird the approaches later taken in influential structures created or renovated in Berlin following the fall of the Wall, including the Jewish Museum and the Reichstag, the New Museum and the Topography of Terror.

Among the most prominent examples are the private homes of Rudolph Schindler in West Hollywood, Richard Neutra in Los Angeles, Walter Gropius in Lincoln, Massachusetts. What expression could voluntary migration or forced change of location find in these buildings? To what extent do the architects’ other buildings differ from such 'homes of one’s own' in a foreign country, to use an expression borrowed and modified from Virginia Woolf?

Résumé:
“Architects, sculptors, painters, we all must return to the crafts!” declared architect Walter Gropius in his Bauhaus manifesto. Founded in 1919 as an art school in Weimar, the Bauhaus established itself as a major influence on twentieth- century art and design. Bauhaus students were taught by some of the most celebrated artists of the time, including Paul Klee, Lyonel Feininger, and Wassily Kandinsky. Having moved to Berlin in 1932 under architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, it was forced to close for good by the Gestapo in 1933. Uncovering the sources of inspiration that brought the Bauhaus into existence, from medieval cathedrals of Europe and Hokusai prints to William Morris and Arts and Crafts, The Spirit of the Bauhaus explores workshops and courses in detail, illustrating the extraordinary wealth of experimentation in every medium: ceramics, wood and metalwork, textiles, glass- painting, sculpture, mural, printing and binding, theater, architecture, and photography. This essential and accessible guide to the Bauhaus, published in time for the 100th anniversary of the school in 2019, celebrates a school that continues to be recognized as the most durable and influential source of modern ideas about art, design, and craft.
