Résumé:
James Stirling`s partnership with James Gowan between 1956 and 1963 put postwar British architecture on the international map, and their Leicester University Engineering Building became an iconic monument for a new kind of modernism. Mark Crinson's book is the most thoroughly researched study of Stirling and Gowan's partnership to date. Based on extensive interviews and archival research, Crinson argues that their work was the product of two equally creative partners whose different concerns produced a dynamic aesthetic. He gives an in-depth account of their training and early careers, their relation to key architects and movements of the time, and the commissioning, design, and construction of their work. This critical reassessment dispels previous myths and inaccuracies regarding their partnership and analyzes how ideas about mannerism, modernism, nostalgia, community, consumerism, Victorian cities, and institutional typologies influenced their designs. Stirling and Gowan positions their avant-garde creations within a larger context as creative responses to Britain's postwar deindustrialization and the shift from austerity to affluence.

Résumé:
This in-depth look at six postwar photographers, alongwith a selection of their predecessors and contemporaries, captures a unique and pivotal moment in American photographic history. World War II and its aftermath ushered in a new era of artistic expression. Abstract Expressionism, film noir, Beat poetry, and the New Journalism are often considered responses to war's shocking realities. Creative photographers responded to the same situation with images that broke the rules of conventional photographic technique. This publication, a companion volume to an exhibition, highlights six photographers who were prominent during and immediately following the war. Lisette Model's unflinching look at the urban environment; Louis Faurer's portraits of eccentrics in Times Square; Ted Croner's haunting night images; Saul Leiter's evocative glimpses of daily life; William Klein's graphic, confrontational style; and Robert Frank's documentation of American ideals gone awry-these and other beautifully reproduced photographs communicate the emotional resonance of everyday life in postwar America.

Résumé:
Built between 1957 and 1958, Le Corbusier’s Unité d’habitation in Berlin stands as an exceptional work of postwar architecture in Berlin. Although it follows the basic concept of a “vertical village” as envisioned by the architect, the gigantic block, containing 530 apartments, clearly differs from the Marseille original. However, as a result of modifications required by(...)

Résumé:
Built between 1957 and 1958, Le Corbusier’s Unité d’habitation in Berlin stands as an exceptional work of postwar architecture in Berlin. Although it follows the basic concept of a “vertical village” as envisioned by the architect, the gigantic block, containing 530 apartments, clearly differs from the Marseille original. However, as a result of modifications required by the client, the construction occupies the position of an outsider in Le Corbusier’s oeuvre. Authors from the fields of architecture, urbanism, art history and cultural studies precisely set out the genesis of the listed building for the first time. In addition, they investigate the development of the Unité d’habitation model, and the Berlin variant’s unique color concept, and carry out a comparison with the four typologically related buildings in France. In looking at the significance, ingenuity and creative impact of Le Corbusier’s unique creation in Berlin, the so-called Corbusierhaus, the publication fills a gap in the literature on postwar modernism and the architect’s body of work.

Résumé:
The Case Study House program (1945-66) was an exceptional, innovative event in the history of American architecture and remains to this day unique. The program, which concentrated on the Los Angeles area and oversaw the design of 36 prototype homes, sought to make available plans for modern residences that could be easily and cheaply constructed during the postwar building boom.
