Résumé:
Arthur Drexler (1921-1987) served as the curator and director of the Architecture and Design Department at the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA) from 1951 until 1986— the longest curatorship in the museum's history. Over four decades he conceived and oversaw trailblazing exhibitions that not only reflected but also anticipated major stylistic developments. Although several books cover the roles of MoMA's founding director, Alfred Barr, and the department's first curator, Philip Johnson, this is the only in-depth study of Drexler, who gave the department its overall shape and direction. Drawing on rigorous archival research as well as author Thomas S. Hines's firsthand experience working with Drexler, ''Architecture and Design at the Museum of Modern Art'' analyzes how MoMA became a touchstone for the practice and study of midcentury architecture.

Résumé:
The shift from modern to digital systems of design and production 'opens up' a material work to a deeper relationship between author and perceiver. From the classical work to the modern object, and from the modern industrial to 'computerised' procedures, the interplay between author and user has become closer, more direct, more open. How does this increasing complicity affect architectural practice? How can architecture be conceived as a more fluid informational development? This first issue of the new boogazine "Verb" deals with the present relationship between information and authorship in architectural practice, featuring works and texts by Manuel de Landa, Jorge Wagensberg, FOA, Sadar & Vuga, Njiric+Njiric, Lacaton-Vassal .
