Résumé:
The taste for industrial aesthetics, just one of many reasons for the popularity of industrial conversions today, saw its beginnings during the age of post-war modernism, popularised by architects such as Le Corbusier, Gropius, and Mies van der Rohe. Yet the trend to rethink industrial structures also signals the imbalance of production and consumption that has arisen since the 1970s. Currently, however, rehabilitation initiatives are bringing production back to the city through projects like the thirteen examples in this special issue. Included are the Baltic Station Market by KOKO architects, Zeitz MOCAA by Heatherwick Studio, Malmö Market Hall by Wingårdh, and The Silo by COBE.

Résumé:
In 1929, the great Swiss historian and architecture critic Sigfried Giedion (1888–1968)—later the author of the classics "Space, Time and Architecture" (1941) and "Mechanization Takes Command" (1948)—issued Befreites Wohnen (Liberated Dwelling), a small but vocal architecture manifesto and an early expression of modernist housing ideology. From the vision of an international architectural modernism (a mission with which Giedion was involved as the first secretary-general of the International Congresses of Modern Architecture, between 1928 and 1959) to debates on the industrialization of construction processes and their impact on public housing, Liberated Dwelling expresses the dreams and anxieties of early 20th-century modernist architecture.

Résumé:
Magali Larson's comprehensive study explores how architecture "happens" and what has become of the profession in the postmodern era. Drawing from extensive interviews with pivotal architects—from Philip Johnson, who was among the first to introduce European modernism to America, to Peter Eisenman, identified with a new "deconstructionist" style—she analyzes the complex tensions that exist between economic interest, professional status, and architectural product. She investigates the symbolic awards and recognition accorded by prestigious journals and panels, exposing the inner workings of a profession in a precarious social position. Larson captures the struggles around status, place, and power as architects seek to redefine their very purpose in contemporary America.

Résumé:
"New Living” (Das Neue Wohnen) was the title of an exceptional architectural propaganda film created in 1930 by German avant-garde artist and filmmaker Hans Richter. It show-cased exemplary modernist buildings and furniture – some of which were on view shortly afterwards in the prestigious exhibitions "The International Style” – and contrasted them with impractical, unhygienic living spaces. The visual diversity of "New Living”, and its use of an experimental montage technique, pioneered a radical new method of portraying architecture on celluloid. This publication includes detailed sequences from the New Living film, as well as numerous documents that illustrate the new style of architectural modernism. Previously priced at $96.00.

Résumé:
This highly anticipated new volume in the Review series documents some two hundred largely unpublished buildings in Tashkent, Genoa, Tbilisi, and Casablanca. These cities experienced rapid development during the twentieth century, each offering its unique response to Modernism. Rather than merely providing a historical survey, this book uncovers the underlying logic of these cities’ urban fabric through an examination of their prevalent built heritage. Over four years, architects Emanuel Christ and Christoph Gantenbein, together with teaching staff and students of architecture and design at ETH Zurich’s Department of Architecture, analyzed the featured structures to offer a wide-ranging array of original typological solutions for contemporary architecture and urban design.

Résumé:
"Trees, Time, Architecture!" marks an evolutionary step from shaping objects towards designing processes. The volume brings together a variety of views on the relationship between trees and architecture, urban spaces, modernism, politics, feminism, and cultural values. This collage of historical, research-based and discourse-related perspectives looks at how trees can be preserved, used, and appreciated in the Anthropocene. It highlights historic examples of growing architecture, such as the living root bridges of the Khasi people in India, the accommodation of trees in urban housing and public spaces, novel approaches to design and construction with living trees, as well as trees as a resource for building material.

Résumé:
Architects, historians, and theorists have been obsessed with fascist architecture since postmodernism. But who are the antifascist architects? What does antifascist architecture look like? This book is the first attempt at creating a working definition. Significant scholarship has already been presented about anti-colonial architecture, militant modernism, liberation architecture, and so forth, yet antifascist architecture is an avenue that remains to be explored. "Antifascist architecture" collects a kaleidoscope of diverse architects who heroically aligned themselves with antifascist struggles around the world. It is written for students and practitioners of architecture, but also activists and scholars in the social sciences who are interested in antifascist history, theory, and practice.

Résumé:
Charles (1907-1978) and Ray (1912-1988) Eames’s residential architecture is defined by their human-centered approach to modernism. Their work demonstrates a deep commitment to structural clarity, user-centered functionality, and the intelligent use of prefabrication. Rather than focusing purely on aesthetics, the Eameses approached architecture as a form of problem-solving, aiming to create flexible systems that offered a background for life and work in all its expressions. This book presents all eight houses they designed between 1945 and 1955, featuring sketches, drawings, letters, and photographs – many of which have never been published before – alongside newly produced diagrams and models that offer further insight into their design process.

Résumé:
Crowe evaluates the connections between the natural and manmade in our towns and cities, farms and gardens, architecture and works of civil engineering. He draws on the lessons to be learned from the buildings and cities of the past in restoring critical traditional values that have been lost to modernism which tends to see the built world almost exclusively through the abstractions of postenlightenment science. Crowe's starting point is indigenous architecture, the origins of our cities and towns where the first geometries were imposed on nature. He traces our separation from nature over time, from the long period of human history when nature served as a paradigm for creation.

Résumé:
Aldo Rossi, after graduating in 1959, worked on the magazine Casabella-Continuità, which he edited from 1961 to 1964. From 1966, the year in which he published his first important text, The architecture of the City, Rossi's early work is a response to the continuity of certain formal patterns in Italian rationalism and the significance of history in architecture. His later work has been shaped by mannerism and a tirelss determination to keep on inventing, showing evident signs of modernism and innovation. In his secondary capacity as designer of interiors, furniture and objects, he has more directly recreated the conventional comfort of his own world of forms.
