Résumé:
Nicholas Fox Weber, for thirty-four years head of the Albers Foundation, spent many years with Anni and Josef Albers, the only husband-and-wife artistic pair at the Bauhaus (she was a textile artist; he was a professor and an artist, in glass, metal, wood, and photography). The Alberses told him their own stories and described life at the Bauhaus with their fellow artists and teachers, Walter Gropius, Paul Klee, Wassily Kandinsky, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, as well as with these figures' lesser-known wives and girlfriends. In thisgroup biography, Weber brings to life the pioneering art school in Germany's Weimar and Dessau in the 1920s and early 1930s, and captures the spirit and flair with which these Bauhaus geniuses lived, as well as their consuming goal of making art and architecture.

Résumé:
What was it like to grow up in a Modernist residence? Did these radical environments shape the way that children looked at architecture later in life? The oral history in this book paint a uniquely intimate portrait of Modernism. The authors conducted interviews with people, who spent their childhood in radical Modernist domestic spaces, uncovering both serene and poignant memories. The recollections range from the ambivalence of philosopher Ernst Tugendhat, now 90 years old, who lived in the famous Mies van der Rohe house in Brno (1930) to the fond reminiscing of the youngest daughter of the Schminke family, who still dreams of her Scharoun-designed ship-like villa in Löbau (1933). The book offers a unique, private and often refreshing perspective on these icons of the avant-garde.

Résumé:
Friedrich Weinwurm, a contemporary of Le Corbusier, Mies van der Rohe or Walter Gropius and one of the most noteworthy architects of Slovakia, can be ranked among the leading representatives of the interwar Central European architectural avant-garde. His legacy of several dozen designed and completed office buildings, single-family houses, villas and housing complexes (Nová Doba, Unitas) forms an oeuvre attracting admiration today. His progressive social program and clear principles for architectural design influenced the Slovak architectural scene of the 1920s and 1930s more than the work of any other architect. The publication contains a comparison between Weinwurm´s work and its contemporary efforts on both the local and international levels, as well as its integration into the context of the domestic and broader European architectural situation.

Le semestriel 2018-2 consacre un grand dossier aux années 1930, période charnière d'intense activité architecturale, en France comme à l'étranger, qui voit se développer de nouveaux courants, en réaction à l'académisme ambiant. De nombreux architectes européens ont contribué à la portée historique du Mouvement moderne dont ce numéro se fera l'écho, notamment à travers l'achèvement récent d'opérations significatives de restauration comme la villa E-1027 d'Eileen Gray à Roquebrune-Cap-Martin ; la villa Tugendhat de Mies van der Rohe à Brno (République tchèque) ; la piscine des Amiraux d'Henri Sauvage, l'appartement-atelier de Le Corbusier, le palais d'Iéna d'Auguste Perret, la halle Freyssinet/station F, le cinéma mythique du Louxor, à Paris... Il évoquera les constructions d'Ali Tur en Guadeloupe ainsi que les expériences urbaines et architecturales menées au Maroc dans les années 1925/30.

Résumé:
"J'ai trouvé ce que vous disiez si extraordinaire que j'ai estimé que certaines choses devaient être consignées pour l'histoire de l'architecture." Ainsi débute la conversation entre Ieoh Ming Pei et Fumihiko Maki. Ieoh Ming Pei, né en 1917, a réalisé après la rénovation du Louvre d'autres bâtiments, dont le musée scientifique de Macao. Fumihiko Maki, né en 1928, a achevé en 2015 WTC 4, une des tours de Ground Zero à New York. Tous deux sont lauréats du prix Pritzker : c'est dire si leur histoire personnelle et professionnelle se confond avec l'Histoire de l'architecture. En évoquant leur vie, leur carrière et leurs rencontres, ils font revivre celles de Gropius, Le Corbusier, Frank Lloyd Wright, Alvar Aalto, Mies van der Rohe, et de tant d'autres personnalités du monde de l'architecture ou de l'art.

Résumé:
From its founding in 1919, the function and identity of the Bauhaus was mobilized by warring factions, as it passed through the guiding hands of its three directors (the apolitical Walter Gropius, the Communist Hannes Meyer and the progressive Mies van der Rohe). Even beyond the well-known controversies that arose between colleagues during the heroic Bauhaus years, the reception and legacy of the various Modernist icons associated with the Bauhaus led to dispute: Socialists, Communists, Nazis, Stalinists, Capitalists, Cold Warriors, student revolutionaries in the 1960s and later dissidents, all have created their own image of the Bauhaus. The Bauhaus Debate 1919-2009 examines the critical reception of the legendary school, its teachers, students and pedagogical philosophy and the battles over its legacy that continue to this day.
