Résumé:
In "That’s Brutal, What’s Modern?: The Smithsons," Banham, and the Mies-Image, Mark D. Linder offers an original understanding of New Brutalism as a consequential and generative episode in the history of post-photographic imaging practices. This episode exemplifies and anticipates the kinds of cognition and intelligence that dominate architectural imagination today. Linder aims to recover a specific and integral, yet overlooked, aspect of the peculiar novelty of New Brutalism by reconsidering the entirety of Alison and Peter Smithson’s work as a fitful and evolving fifty-year fascination with the imaging potential they found in the architecture of Mies van der Rohe. In six chapters and some forty arrays of images, the book progresses from historical research to theoretical speculations on the historical legacy and contemporary potential of the Smithsons’ pursuit of the "Mies-Image."

Résumé:
The Robin Hood Gardens public-housing estate in East London, completed in 1972, was designed by Alison and Peter Smithson as an ethical and aesthetic encounter with the flux and crises of the social world. Now demolished by the forces of speculative development, this Brutalist estate has been the subject of much dispute. But the clichéd terms of debate—a "concrete monstrosity" or a "modernist masterpiece"—have marginalized the estate's residents and obscured its architectural originality. Recovering the social in the architectural, this book centers the estate's lived experience of a multiracial working class, not to displace the architecture's sensory qualities of matter and form, but to radicalize them for our present. Immersed in the materials, atmospheres, social forms and afterlives of this experimental estate, Robin Hood Gardens is reconstructed here as a socio-architectural expression of our times out of joint.

Résumé:
For five decades, photographer Gianfranco Gorgoni (1941-2019) built his reputation as the premier documentarian of Land Art in the US and beyond. After leaving Italy, Gorgoni started making portraits of the major artists of the New York scene, including Michael Heizer, Robert Smithson, Nancy Holt, Walter De Maria, Carl Andre, and Richard Serra. It was not long before he was traveling with Heizer, Smithson, and De Maria to the American West in the late 1960s to plot the works that would famously break art practice out of the confines of the gallery world. In Nevada, New Mexico, and Utah, these artists embarked on major Land Art installations that would redefine contemporary art practice of the era. In many cases, Gorgoni was the only photographer on the ground to document their projects, and his images often serve as the definitive photographic record of the planning and creation of these groundbreaking works. Published to coincide with the first major exhibition of Gorgoni's photographic Land Art images at the Nevada Museum of Art, featuring over fifty of his large-scale photographs, "Gianfranco Gorgoni: Land Art Photographs" includes an introduction by Ann M. Wolfe, Andrea and John C. Deane Family senior curator and deputy director at the Nevada Museum of Art, an essay by the late art historian and critic Germano Celant, whose contribution here is among the last he wrote before his death in 2020, and William L. Fox, the Peter E. Pool Director of the Center for Art + Environment.

A major part of his oeuvre consists of single-family dwellings, many of which are found in the United States. This issue of "2G" brings together a selection of his more important houses: from the first examples at the end of the 1930s, in which the influence of the Bauhaus is still very strong, to those of the 1960s in which Breuer has encountered his own highly original language. Works and projects include: Hagerty House, Cohasset; Breuer I House, Lincoln; Robinson House, Williamstown; Breuer II House, New Canaan; Breuer Cottage, Wellfleet; Kepes Cottage, Wellfleet; Stillman Beach Cottage, Wellfleet; Wise Cottage, Wellfleet; Exhibition House in the MOMA Garden; Pocantico, Tarrytown; Clark House, Orange; Pack House, Scarsdale; Grieco House, Andover; Hooper House, Baltimore; Starkey House, Duluth; Stillman II House, Lichfield.

This publication journeys from Pis early collaborations with Enric Miralles, characterised by an exploration of natural materials and forms that merge with their setting, to the evolution of her own emphatic works a striking articulation of complex shapes and spaces that maintain a clear commitment to the quality of construction while perfectly integrating with the environment, whether natural or urban.

Résumé:
The world's growing vulnerability to planet-sized risks invites action on a global scale. The World as an Architectural Project shows how for more than a century architects have imagined the future of the planet through world-scale projects. With fifty speculative projects by Patrick Geddes, Alison and Peter Smithson, Kiyonori Kikutake, Saverio Muratori, Takis Zenetos, Sergio Bernardes, Juan Navarro Baldeweg, Luc Deleu, and many others, documented in text and images, this ambitious and wide-ranging book is the first compilation of its kind. Interestingly, architects begin to address the world as a project long before the advent of contemporary globalism and its assorted anxieties. The Spanish urban theorist and entrepreneur Arturo Soria y Mata, for example, in 1882 envisions a system that connects the entire planet in a linear urban network. In 1927, Buckminster Fuller's “World Town Plan—4D Tower” proposes to solve global housing problems with mobile structures delivered and installed by a Zeppelin. And Joyce Hsiang and Bimal Mendis visualize the conditions of a worldwide “City of Seven Billion” in a 2015–2019 project. Rather than indulging the cliché of the megalomaniac architect, this volume presents a discipline reflecting on its own responsibilities.

Dans les années 1950 et jusqu’à la fin des années 1960, la science-fiction a joué, pour nombre d’artistes et de théoriciens anglais et américains, tant au plan iconographique qu’au plan méthodologique, un rôle stratégique : celui d’un véritable objet régulateur utilisé pour déplacer l’activité artistique loin de ses coordonnées conventionnelles. Dans cette entreprise, Eduardo Paolozzi côtoie Reyner Banham, Robert Smithson ou James Graham Ballard, Peter Hutchinson voisine avec Lawrence Alloway pour explorer ce que ce dernier a appelé « le front élargi de la culture » qui devient ici un ensemble d’images et d’idées rétrocédant en deçà du pop art, là où la subculture se fait relais d’invention. Passer l’art novateur au filtre de la SF, c’est par conséquent, pour les créateurs et les penseurs de l’époque mettant en œuvre cette opération théorique et plastique, ébranler radicalement les cadres d’une esthétique dominante — le formalisme — dont ils auront été les critiques en acte. Il en résulte notamment une révision des notions de passé, de présent et de futur dont Ballard, cet « anticipateur qui ne croit pas en l’avenir » comme il est dit dans l’ouvrage, est le fer de lance. Ce livre propose les pièces de ce dossier crucial pour la compréhension de l’art actuel.

Dans les années 1950 et jusqu’à la fin des années 1960, la science-fiction a joué, pour nombre d’artistes et de théoriciens anglais et américains, tant au plan iconographique qu’au plan méthodologique, un rôle stratégique : celui d’un véritable objet régulateur utilisé pour déplacer l’activité artistique loin de ses coordonnées conventionnelles. Dans cette entreprise, Eduardo Paolozzi côtoie Reyner Banham, Robert Smithson ou James Graham Ballard, Peter Hutchinson voisine avec Lawrence Alloway pour explorer ce que ce dernier a appelé « le front élargi de la culture » qui devient ici un ensemble d’images et d’idées rétrocédant en deçà du pop art, là où la subculture se fait relais d’invention.
