Résumé:
Texte fondateur et précurseur du post-modernisme, Mathématiques de la villa idéale est aussi le titre d'un recueil de neuf articles écrits entre 1947 et 1961 mais publiés pour la plupart bien après leur rédaction, tant ils étaient jugés à l'époque à contre-courant de la pensée dominante. C'est que la méthode de Colin Rowe est singulière : faisant fi des contextes culturel et historique, il procède à des rapprochements, voire à des juxtapositions d'édifices que des siècles séparent. Il confronte ainsi des réalisations de Palladio et de Le Corbusier, l'architecture moderne au maniérisme et au néo-classicisme, les arts plastiques à l'architecture (notamment dans l'article-manifeste "Transparence : littérale et phénoménale "). Il aborde aussi des sujets comme l'architecture de l'utopie, l'École de Chicago ou les " vicissitudes du vocabulaire architectural au xlxe siècle".

If it is understood that we are now in age that that does not look at modernity uncritically, how does its optimistic imagery continue to play a vital role in architecture?

Résumé:
"Perspecta 32" is an investigation into architectural modernism in a postmodern age and exploration of surface as a subject with depth. If it is understood that we are now in age that that does not look at modernity uncritically, how does its optimistic imagery continue to play a vital role in architecture? The issue, "Resurfacing modernism", is composed of essays and images that invoke the two simultaneous meanings of the verb tu resurface. In the first sense, some of the contributors interrogate ongoing returns of past "stylistics", specially the recent vogue for postwar, mostly American, production loosely united under the rubric "The fifties". In the second, other contributors reflect upon current emphasis being placed on architectural surfaces.

Résumé:
In the spring of 1900, British archaeologist Arthur Evans began to excavate the palace of Knossos on Crete, bringing ancient Greek legends to life just as a new century dawned amid far-reaching questions about human history, art, and culture. Over the next three decades, Evans engaged in an unprecedented reconstruction project, creating a complex of concrete buildings on the site that owed at least as much to modernist architecture as they did to Bronze Age remains. In the process, he fired the imaginations of a whole generation of intellectuals and artists, whose work would drive movements as disparate as fascism and pacifism, feminism and psychoanalysis. With Knossos and the Prophets of Modernism, Cathy Gere relates the fascinating story of Evans’s excavation and its long-term effects on Western culture.

Résumé:
"Encounter educational modernism" productively revisits the University of Lethbridge, Alberta, an iconic campus from the late 1960s by Canadian architect Arthur Erickson. The university is recognized for its architectural vision, its linear relationship with the spectacular landscape, and its dynamic spatial imagination of education as an expansive encounter. Designing the interdisciplinary university as a city within one building, including student housing, the campus stages public spaces of encounter to activate the concept of the student as a global citizen in a new world order. This sixties humanist imagination of the student shapes the spatial program of the architecture, a program which clashes with the current neoliberal view of the student as entrepreneur. The third book in Bitter and Weber's series on architecture and the educational complex, Encounter Educational Modernism is an artistic research project on the architecture of the University of Lethbridge and on modernist imaginations of education. It includes photographs and an introduction from the artists and contributions from University of Lethbridge professor Victoria Baster and poet and educator Jeff Derksen. The series Educational Modernism is published in cooperation with Camera Austria and will be continued with a focus on The Workers University Zagreb by Yugoslavian architects Radovan Niksic and Ninoslav Kucan.

Résumé:
Pendant longtemps la capitale du Mexique fut connue pour sa criminalité et sa pollution, mais depuis quelques années, elle est aussi devenue une véritable capitale culturelle. On y observe une effervescence créative à tous les coins de rue : de la Casa Estudio de Luis Barragan, le maître du modernisme, à la cuisine de la meilleure cheffe d’Amérique latine Elena Reygadas en passant par les célèbres mariachis de la Plaza Garibaldi. Un plan de Mexico en début de livre et un découpage clair par région pour se repérer. Dans chaque chapitre : une présentation en images des « Essentiels », des « must » à ne pas rater et une promenade/itinéraire thématique à faire dans chacune des régions du pays comme une promenade artistique dans San Miguel de Chapultepec ou une sortie au cœur du Mexico asiatique, New Little Tokyo et Little Seoul.
