Résumé:
This second volume of "The details of modern architecture" continues the study of the relationships of the ideals of design and the realities of construction in modern architecture, beginning in the late 1920s and extending to the present day. It contains a wealth of new information on the construction of modern architecture at a variety of scales from minute details to general principles. There are over 500 illustrations, including 130 original photographs and 230 original axonometric drawings, arranged to explain the technical, aesthetic, and historical aspects of the building form. Most of the modern movements in architecture have identified some paradigm of good construction, arguing that buildings should be built like Gothic cathedrals, like airplanes, like automobiles, like ships, or like primitive dwellings. Ford examines the degree to which these models were followed, either in spirit or in form, and reveals much about both the theories and techniques of modern architecture, including the extent to which the current constructional theories of high tech and deconstruction are dependent on the traditional modernist paradigms, as well as the ways in which all of these theories differ from the realities of modern building. Individual chapters treat the work of Eliel and Eero Saarinen, Eric Gunnar Asplund, Richard Neutra, Alvar Aalto, Le Corbusier, and Louis Kahn, as well as the Case Study, high tech, postmodern, and deconstructivist architects. Among the individual buildings documented are Eliel Saarinen's Cranbrook School, Asplund's Woodland Cemetery, Fuller's Dymaxion house, the Venturi house, the Eames and other Case Study houses, the concrete buildings of Le Corbusier, Aalto's Säynätsalo Town Hall, and Kahn's Exeter Library and Salk Institute.

Résumé:
Alors que le design des années 50 connaît une vogue considérable et que l'architecture de la reconstruction a été très étudiée, les maisons particulières de cette époque restent méconnues. Réservée jusque-là à de grands bourgeois qui s'adressaient à des stars de la modernité comme Robert Mallet-Stevens, Pierre Chareau ou Le Corbusier, la villa connaît, avec l'émergence d'une bourgeoisie éclairée plus modeste, un essor remarquable dans la France de l'après-guerre. A l'ombre des grands ensembles, elle constitue une sorte de laboratoire qui permet aux architectes d'innover, mais aussi de mettre en pratique les acquis et les enseignements des maîtres, tout en les détournant et les adaptant, avec la vitalité et l'esprit de provocation caractéristiques de l'époque. Cette architecture domestique, à la fois expérimentale et matérialiste, souvent utopique, caricaturée par Jacques Tati ou Spirou, bénéficie de l'aide des Salons et des concours organisés par des magazines extraordinairement audacieux et inventifs. Montrant à quel point sa modernité se différencie du purisme théoricien qui prévalait avant la guerre, l'auteur Raphaëlle Saint-Pierre analyse dans la première partie de l'ouvrage le vocabulaire architectural français qui se met en place, nourri d'influences américaines, scandinaves, japonaises et brésiliennes, balançant entre organicisme, rationalisme, brutalisme et art total, sans déroger aux règles de fonctionnalité du plan, aux nouveaux impératifs d'équipement et au rapport, désormais indispensable, entre habitat et nature. Dans un second temps, la visite détaillée de vingt-cinq maisons, construites par les maîtres que sont Le Corbusier, André Lurçat, Alvar Aalto et Philip Johnson, par de jeunes architectes comme Claude Parent ou André Wogenscky, des ingénieurs et des artistes tels que Jean Prouvé, André Bloc et Pierre Soulages, nous fait découvrir la richesse de ce patrimoine architectural profondément original.

Résumé:
From as early as 1900 Finland, at that time ruled by Russia, was to see in architecture a political and social vehicle. Modern architecture, with the promises it held for social change and hopes for technological progress, was to become a cultural phenomenon over the course of the twentieth century. This book explores the shape of architecture from Finland’s independence in 1917 until the present day, and how the ‘modern agenda’ became a blueprint to advance the nation’s society and define its identity. Roger Connah assesses the work of well-known heroes of Finnish architecture such as Reima Pietila, Juhä Leiviskä and ‘modern master’ Alvar Aalto, as well as many other less familiar figures whose contribution is little known outside Finland. He discusses developments in architecture in relation to the culture and politics of the new independent Finland, as well as parallel movements in the arts, and also surveys the early part of the century, as Finland came into its own as a new nation state. He examines the rationalised developments of the 1930s, the ‘organic’ and vernacular tendencies of modern architecture, and how some of modernism’s devices were combined with a particular Nordic sensibility. He also looks at the reconstruction and urbanisation of the post-war years, the use of industrial building methods and prefabricated materials, the ‘golden age’ of Finnish modernism in the 1950s, and the developments thereafter. Connah also considers how architecture has been publicised in magazines, galleries and through exhibitions. By the end of the twentieth century Finland had transformed itself into a modern industrial economy at the cutting edge of the it world, and its buildings continue to be regarded as exemplary modern works. Roger Connah assesses Finnish modern architecture’s relation to the broader cultural and political conditions of Finland and modernity at large, making this study crucial to our understanding of Finland’s place in architecture and in culture today.
