Résumé:
Today, a growing number of architects see sustainable architecture in the broader context of a contemporary sensibility that revisits the roots of 20th century Modernism. At the same time they draw inspiration from regional material culture and building design traditions, much of which was developed in direct relation to local climatic and geographic conditions. Presented here are several recent public projects by some of the country's most respected architects notably KPMB, Erickson and the Patkau.

Résumé:
The Gateway Arch casts its shadow across the Mississippi River and the city skyline of St. Louis, yet the history of architecture in that city stretches far beyond the towering "gateway to the West." Modern Architecture in St. Louis offers the first in-depth survey of the exciting evolution of modern architecture in the heart of the Midwest, an evolution that began during the flowering of mid-century American modernism. Established architectural scholars here explore the nationally and internationally significant aspects of modern architecture in St. Louis during the postwar period, with essays on subjects ranging from the creation of the Arch to the role played by the Washington University School of Architecture. Archival photographs and drawings augment the scholars' historical analyses, and statements by alumni and faculty of the School of Architecture, including Gyo Obata and Fumihiko Maki, are also featured. Modern Architecture in St. Louis is a valuable work of architectural history that unearths the critical contribution of St. Louis to American design and modernism. Eric Mumford is associate professor at the Washington University School of Architecture and author of The CIAM Discourse on Urbanism, 1928-1960.

Résumé:
The first decades of the twentieth century brought enormous change in Britain. Men’s and women’s roles came under scrutiny, class and social structures were transformed. This book casts new light on the notorious Bloomsbury Group and how the issues of their day influenced their interpretation and decoration of the home. Christopher Reed analyzes the rooms designed by Bloomsbury artists as spaces in which to be modern. The book traces the development of Bloomsbury’s domestic aesthetic from the group’s influential promulgation of Post-Impressionism in Britain around 1910 through the 1930's. In detailed studies of rooms created for Virginia Woolf and John Maynard Keynes, among others, by Woolf’s sister Vanessa Bell and her artist colleagues Duncan Grant and Roger Fry, Reed challenges the accepted notion that these artists drifted away from modernism. He presents their work as an alternative form of modernism, later suppressed by sexist and homophobic attitudes that disparaged the decorative arts and domesticity in general, as well as Bloomsbury in particular. The aesthetic and ideological implications of the Bloomsbury interiors were international in scope, Reed argues, and constitute important episodes in this history of modernity.
