Based on the 2007 National Bearden Symposium, this volume examines Bearden's relationships to modernism, postmodernism and the avant garde, through his wide-ranging interests and associations with artists, intellectuals and musicians of his era--including Duke Ellington, Ralph Ellison and Stuart Davis, to name a few--as well as his practices.

In "Forest and garden", Melanie L. Simo ranges through a period of landscape history that has been underexamined, between Olmsted and mid-twentieth-century modernism, when the contours of the debate were formed and the landscape professions came of age. Simo's book spans half a century, from the year that Charles Sprague Sargent's influential "Garden and Forest" magazine ceased publication in 1897 to the appearance in 1949 of two unusual books about land and landscape—Aldo Leopold's "Sand County Almanac" and Jens Jensen's "The Clearing" —that marked the beginning of a new ecological awareness.

Résumé:
In "Tower and office", Spanish architects Inaki Abalos and Juan Herreros look at the role and impact of advanced building technologies in American architecture since World War II. The war, they claim, marked the end of the first cycle of modernism, challenging the belief that technological progress alone could produce a perpetually better future. At the same time, the war was the source of powerful new structural models and construction methods. The authors examine the ways these technologies have been inflected over the last half century by more subjective and integrated processes of spatial organization.

Résumé:
Since the 1980s, critical regionalism has been globally celebrated for imbuing modern architecture with local sensibilities. After rising to international stardom, however, several critical regionalists soon began to erect distinctive albeit “placeless” buildings around the world. Aris Konstantinidis (1913–1993), a Greek architect less well known outside of his home country, instead propagated his vision of regional modernism to global audiences on his own terms through his publishing and teaching beyond national borders. This operative history of his life and work outside Greece unveils the potential for alternative practices of critical regionalism abroad.

In this book Gwendolyn Wright contends that American Modernism is not merely a branch of the European Modern Movement brought across the Atlantic by émigrés and often misinterpreted, but rather an exciting and evolving hybrid of distinctive ambitions, sensibilities and cultures. From early suburbs and skyscrapers in the aftermath of the Civil War to Art Deco and other experiments that flourished in the 1920s, to postmodernism and major new projects of today, Wright explains the dynamic relationships between social and political issues, broad cultural trends and changing concepts of modern life.

Résumé:
A book about modernist architect Mies van der Rohe's only design for the UK, a bronze tower and grand plaza in the heart of London. After decades of struggle, Mies' plans for Mansion House Square were scuppered. In Thatcher's Britain, popular opinion turned against modernism, Prince Charles criticised the work, and the government feared new public spaces. Stopped dead by an Inquiry, and mired in controversy, Mies' masterpiece was all but erased. ''Mies in London'' is the first book on this remarkable project, with 160 pages of unseen material.
