In his introductory essay on building in alpine areas, Otto Kapfinger brings out the common features in the architectural scenes of the two most western federal states in Austria – the Tyrol and Vorarlberg. At the same time he underlines the regional differences, considering the Rhine valley as opposed to the Inn valley. This book, written to accompany an international(...)

Résumé:
In his introductory essay on building in alpine areas, Otto Kapfinger brings out the common features in the architectural scenes of the two most western federal states in Austria – the Tyrol and Vorarlberg. At the same time he underlines the regional differences, considering the Rhine valley as opposed to the Inn valley. This book, written to accompany an international travelling exhibition, documents the most important examples of the architecture of the last ten years. The publication reveals that the architecture in the Austrian region of Vorarlberg is grounded in regional tradition. In recent years it has developed towards industrial building due to the changing social and economic situation. Tyrolean architecture, on the other hand, is a rather more recent phenomenon but can also be said to have made a significant contribution to contemporary building in its own right. Architects include : Baumschlager & Eberle; Arno Bereiter; Cukrowicz & Nachbaur; Dietrich & Untertrifaller; Georg Driendl; Hugo Dworzak; Roland Gnaiger ; Gohm.Hiessberger; Henke & Schreieck; Margarethe Heubacher-Sentobe; Hermann Kaufmann; Rainer Köberl; Christian Lenz; Peter Lorenz; Manzl & Sandner; Marte & Marte; Noldin & Noldin ; Johann Obermoser; Wolfgang Pöschl; Helmut Reitter; Riccione Architekten; Wolfgang Ritsch; Hanno Schlögl; Bruno Spagolla; Steinmayr & Mascher.

The architectural transformation occurs as China transforms from a dynasty ruled by emperors to a republic to a people’s republic, from a country in which fewer than half the male population, and perhaps 10 percent of the female population could read to at least 97% literacy, and from a population that was fewer than 5 percent to more than 60 percent urban.

Résumé:
Modern Architecture is a landmark text - the first book in which this American architect put forth the principles of a fundamentally new, organic architecture that would reject the trappings of historical styles while avoiding the geometric abstraction of the machine aesthetic advocated by contemporary European modernists. One of the most important documents in the development of modern architecture and the career of Frank Lloyd Wright, "Modern Architecture" is a provocative and profound polemic against America's architectural eclecticism, commercial skyscrapers, and misguided urban planning. The book is also a work of savvy self-promotion, in which Wright not only advanced his own concept of an organic architecture but also framed it as having anticipated by decades - and bettered -what he saw as the reductive modernism of his European counterparts. Based on the 1931 original, for which Wright supplied the cover illustration, this edition includes a new introduction that puts "Modern Architecture" in its broader architectural, historical, and intellectual context for the first time. The subjects of these lively lectures -from "Machinery, Materials and Men" to "The Tyranny of the Skyscraper" and "The City" - move from a general statement of the conditions of modern culture to particular applications in the fields of architecture and urbanism at ever broadening scales. Wright's vision in "Modern Architecture" is ultimately to equate the truly modern with romanticism, imagination, beauty, and nature - all of which he connects with an underlying sense of American democratic freedom and individualism.
