Résumé:
Lorsque Albert Frey (1903-1998) a quitté sa Suisse natale pour les Etats-Unis, en 1930, ce fut en emportant l'influence de son mentor, Le Corbusier. L'innovatrice Aluminaire House, développée avec A. L. Kocher, fut exposée en 1932 par Henry-Russell Hitchcock et Philip Johnson lors de la légendaire exposition « Le style international : l architecture depuis 1922 », au Musée d Art Moderne de New York, comme une illustration rare du mouvement en Amérique. Peu après Frey découvrit le désert californien, où il s'établit et réalisa la plus grande partie de son oeuvre. Cherchant tout au long de sa vie de nouvelles manières de construire, et travaillant également sur les matériaux préfabriqués, il publia régulièrement les résultats de ses recherches. Son talent visionnaire et ses demeures élégantes et clairement structurées ont fait de lui le fondateur du « modernisme du désert ».

Résumé:
In this illustrated volume, Andrew Higgott demonstrates how architectural books and journals have created twentieth century architectural culture in Britain. Mediating Modernism discusses the publications, language and images which, in the act of 'describing', 'interpreting' or 'illustrating' the architecture, have created it in architectural discourse. Whilst numerous recent books have radically re-thought the construct of modernism, this is the first book to re-think modernism in relation to British architecture.

Résumé:
This lively and authoritative book explores the influence of the Bauhaus and modernism on typography and book design. Alan Bartram examines work by such key figures as Max Bill, F. T. Marinetti, El Lissitzky, László Moholy-Nagy, Jan Tschichold, and Paul Rand. All of the carefully chosen examples, some of which have not been previously reproduced, clearly demonstrate the modernist revolution that took place in graphic design. In an informative introductory essay, Bartram surveys the German art and design school known as the Bauhaus. Under Walter Gropius, the Bauhaus intended to create an academic, theoretical, and practical synthesis of all forms of visual expression, a marrying of art, architecture, industry, and design that had never been attempted before. Although the Bauhaus existed for only fourteen years, from 1920 to 1934, Bartram asserts that its philosophy influenced the appearance of almost every kind of modernist artifact throughout the twentieth century and continues to do so today.

Résumé:
In the 1960s and ’70s, architects, influenced by recent developments in computing and the rise of structuralist and poststructuralist thinking, began to radically rethink how architecture could be created. Though various new approaches gained favor, they had one thing in common: they advocated moving away from the traditional reliance on an individual architect’s knowledge and instincts and toward the use of external tools and processes that were considered objective, logical, or natural. Automatic architecture was born.
