Résumé:
Although a number of books have told the story of modern and contemporary art in Eastern and Central Europe, missing from these accounts have been the sources themselves. This book, the result of years of research by an international team of artists, curators, editors, translators, and scholars working with the Museum of Modern Art, presents primary documents drawn from the artistic archives of Eastern and Central Europe during the second half of the twentieth century. Because the practice of criticism in this region was for many years almost completely suppressed, the writings of the artists themselves often fulfill a critical as well as an aesthetic and ideological function. The manifestoes, photo essays, proposals, scripts, and other writings assembled here comprise the first anthology of this material in any language. The source materials presented--almost all of them previously untranslated into English--are from Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Macedonia, Poland, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Slovakia, and Slovenia. The book is introduced by Ilya Kabakov. Each chapter is preceded by a brief introduction and is followed by a case study that chronicles an event or the creation or reception of an artwork, illustrating the issues raised in that chapter.

Résumé:
"Central European Avant-Gardes" presents the first interpretive overview of the complex webs of interaction among the artists and intellectuals of early twentieth-century Central Europe. The key stylistic transformation of the period was from Expressionism to Constructivism, as artists and writers, against a volatile background of war and revolution, saw the opportunity literally to construct a new world through their work. The borders between the visual arts, photography, film, architecture, poetry, and typography were obliterated, as artists sought to transcend the forces of traditionalism to forge an elemental visual language that would overcome national and linguistic boundaries. Yet at the same time that these artists advocated pluralism and unity, their work engaged issues such as nationalism and tradition that still resonate in artistic circles today. The book, which accompanies a major exhibition organized by the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and curated by Timothy Benson, assisted by Monika Krol, is arranged around events and situations rather than by linear, art historical categories. It features hundreds of color plates and reproductions of documents; discussions of movements from Artificialism to Zenitism; essays on figures, publications, and exhibitions; and shorter "city views" of Belgrade, Berlin, Bucharest, Budapest, Cracow, Dessau, Ljubljana, £ódz, Poznañ, Prague, Vienna, Warsaw, Weimar, and Zagreb.

Résumé:
Publié en 1930 à Moscou, et inédit en français, "Sotsgorod" est longtemps resté un livre mythique. Ce manifeste utopique russe récuse les modèles des villes traditionnelles pour développer l'hypothèse de la ville linéaire avancée par l'Espagnol Arturo Soria y Mata peu avant 1900 et les solutions pratiques des agglomérations industrielles d'Henry Ford. Le principe théorique élaboré par Milioutine, dans le cadre d'un intense débat sur la structure des villes soviétiques, est appliqué à des plans pour Nijni Novgorod, Stalingrad et Magnitogorsk, accompagné par les propositions architecturales dans l'esprit de l'avant-garde russe. Les propositions radicales de "Sotsgorod" auront un impact considérable sur la réflexion des architectes modernes allemands et conduiront Le COrbusier à imaginer sa «cité linéaire industrielle». Le format original longitudinal et la mise en pages constructiviste de l'édition originale sont rigoureusement reproduits. Présenté par Jean-Louis Cohen. Traduit du russe par Elisabeth Essaïan.

Guide d’architecture de l'Algérie et ses grandes villes - Alger, Oran, Annaba. Pour chacune des villes, une cartographie légendée avec un renvoi au texte illustré par immeuble en facilite la compréhension. Une introduction historique par ville la situe dans son contexte et amène le lecteur à la période qui nous concerne. De plus, quelques encarts sur la carrière des principaux architectes cités donnent un éclairage qu'il était temps de saisir car les archives sont bien souvent difficiles à retrouver et pour certaines, encore aujourd'hui, elles sont en perdition malgré la prise de conscience de l'intérêt culturel et historique qu'elles représentent. Les bâtiments sélectionnés dans le présent ouvrage ont été regroupés sous forme de promenades ; le visiteur garde néanmoins la possibilité d'organiser lui-même le cheminement de son parcours en utilisant la cartographie, les photos et les commentaires. Texte en français et en arabe.

Résumé:
En paix ou en guerre, le Paris de la première moitié du XX? siècle vibre d’énergie fébrile. Les imaginations les plus débridées s’expriment dans des formes nouvelles dont les créateurs viennent de l’Europe entière. Le défi de l’industrie et les attentes du marché nourrissent l’architecture et l’ ensemble des disciplines artistiques, qui donnent son visage quotidien à une ville délibérément moderne. Ce foisonnement est retracé selon le principe d’un dictionnaire, de la lettre « A », comme la photographe Laure Albin-Guillot, à la lettre « Z », comme le critique d’art Christian Zervos, en passant par Josephine Baker, Marcel Carné, Coco Chanel, Le Corbusier, Fernand Léger, Adolf Loos, Charlotte Perriand, Helena Rubinstein ou Tristan Tzara. Près de cent entrées composent un portrait sous forme de kaléidoscope amplement illustré. Un reportage photographique d’Antonio Martinelli donne à voir ce que le paysage architectural et urbain d’aujourd’hui révèle du Paris d’il y a cent ans.

Résumé:
Windows are moments in modern architecture where we look to ascertain elegance, technical expression and material language or to capture a certain atmosphere. A window opening is as much an interval and an opportunity as it is a device for admitting light, air or views; it is simultaneously a physical aperture but also a philosophical opening of collaboration and reflection. In order to understand the language of a building we might look to the detail of the window. But what does this mean and why does modern architecture invest so much expression in the window? This book explores how the act of detailing and situating windows in buildings is a key proponent in the language of architecture, which both informs and works with the contingencies of design and construction. It investigates 18 case studies in-depth using painstakingly drawn details and vivid photographs in full colour to define what makes these windows “great” and how each window is situated within both its technical and philosophical context and as an overall development of modern architecture.

Résumé:
Spurred on by the modernizing impulses of the Second Vatican Council in the early 1960s, the Catholic Church searched for an appropriate architectural language that showed its relevance to the modern world. ''Sacred Modernity'' documents this dramatic shift in ecclesiastical architecture across postwar Europe. Among these structures, some exude a joyful antagonism, while others emanate a cold minimalism. Boldly designed, outrageous and provocative for their time, the aesthetic of this period still ignites great debate between modernists and traditionalists. Half a century on, this study traces how their materials and ideals have matured and patinated. The book represents the first attempt to collate the religious architecture of the mid-century high modern years that took many forms, from Brutalism to Structural Expressionism.
