Résumé:
Critical theories such as those of the Frankfurt School of the twenties and thirties gave rise to a complex and sophisticated critique of modernity and modernism. The history and theory of twentieth-century architecture, which developed rather independently of this rich tradition, appear naive and unbalanced in comparison. In this exploration of the relationship between modernity, dwelling, and architecture, Hilde Heynen attempts to bridge this gap between the discourse of the modern movement and cultural theories of modernity. On one hand, she discusses architecture from the perspective of critical theory, and on the other she modifies positions within critical theory by linking them with architecture. She assesses architecture as a cultural field that structures daily life and that embodies major contradictions inherent in modernity, arguing that architecture nonetheless has a certain capacity to adopt a critical stance vis-à-vis modernity. The book provides architectural students with an introduction to the discourse of critical theory. The subchapters on Walter Benjamin, Ernst Bloch, Theodor Adorno, and the Venice School (Tafuri, Dal Co, Cacciari) can be studied independently.

Résumé:
"BorderLine" highlights a particularly troubled site in Europe, the town and harbor of Kraljevica, just south of Rijeka, Croatia, where the failing ship-building industry and pollution from a large oil refinery threaten both the ecology and the prospects of tourism. Drawing on the results of a workshop organized, funded and conducted by the Research Institute for Experimental Architecture (RIEA) in the Frankopan Castle in Kraljevica, "BorderLine" presents essays and projects by leading thinkers and architects addressing the contemporary problems such regions have within rapidly evolving European and global landscapes. "BorderLine" includes essays by Lebbeus Woods, Gabriela Seifert, Manuel Delanda, Aleksandra Wagner, Heinz Foerster, and Ekkehard Rehfeld; it also includes architectural projects and conceptual proposals by Lebbeus Woods, Peter Cook, Will Alsop, Per Kartredt, Masihiko Yendo, and Guy Lafranchi . This title is the first in the RIEAconcepts series, edited by Lebbeus Woods. These books will present innovative research and experimental projects initiated and implemented by both RIEA and individual architects.

Résumé:
À travers l'oeuvre de deux figures majeures du mouvement moderne, Adolf Loos et Le Corbusier, Béatriz Colomina analyse cette architecture qui ne devient moderne que dans sa confrontation avec les mass médias. Au lieu d'aborder l'architecture moderne comme une pratique artistique en opposition à la culture de masse, Colomina considère les systèmes émergents de communication, qui définiront la culture du XXe siècle, comme le lieu véritable de production de l'architecture moderne. Elle déplace ainsi le discours architectural vers l'intersection de nombreux systèmes de représention (dessin, maquette, photographie, livre, publicité). Avec la modernité, le lieu de la production architecturale s'est littéralement transféré de la rue vers les photographies, les films, les publications ou les expositions - déplacement qui présuppose un nouveau sens de l'espace, défini par des images plutôt que par des murs. Colomina nous retrace ces modifications radicales dans l'expérience de l'espace à travers les incarnations modernes de l'archive, de la ville, de la mode, du tourisme, de la guerre, de la sexualité.

Résumé:
German artist Kurt Schwitters' Hannover Merzbau, a combination of collage, sculpture, and architecture, began, according to Schwitters, in 1923 with a small construction in a corner of the artist's studio, a room contained within the apartment he shared with members of his family. Also called "The Cathedral of Erotic Misery" or KdeE, the project eventually took over many of the spaces of his living quarters, filling the rooms with grottoes and caves dedicated to friends, artists, and cultural events. Left unfinished when Schwitters fled Hannover in early 1938, the Merzbau was completely destroyed during an Allied bombing raid over Hannover in 1943. While the project is usually listed as a marginal episode in the annals of Modern art and architecture, the Merzbau is of seminal importance in understanding the complex relationships between several European Avant-garde movements, including Expressionism, Dada, Constructivism, and Merz, the one-man movement Schwitters insisted was available to anyone. The project also provides information supporting the belief that artists such as Joseph Beuys and Robert Rauschenberg consciously extend the project of Merz. In delving into Schwitters' creative 'principles,' as well as the influences of prominent artists and architects on the Merzbau and vice versa, Elizabeth Burns Gamard discusses the project's physical evolution, its hidden meanings, and its significance within the artist's entire oeuvre. She also focusses on the relationship between Schwitters' ideas and those of German nature mysticism and German Romanticism, thus providing an extensive genealogy of the project as well.
