Résumé:
The architect and theorist Walter Curt Behrendt (1884-1945) worked on public housing and urban development as a designer and administrator for the German government after World War I. From 1925 to 1926 he edited the journal "Die Form" for the German Werkbund and led an articulate and well-orchestrated campaign in support of the Modern Movement. A friend and colleague of Lewis Mumford, he immigrated in 1934 to the United States, where he taught courses on city planning and housing at Dartmouth College and the University of Buffalo. "The Victory of the New Building Style" (1927)—his principal theoretical work in German and the precursor to Modern Building, which he wrote in English—presents a revisionist conception of style that places equal emphasis on form and function. Behrendt calls for architects to return to basic geometries and to articulate explicitly the new social and economic realities. Now available in English for the first time, this incisive treatise boldly advocates international modernism to the general public. Introduction by Detlef Mertins and translation by Harry Francis Mallgrave

Résumé:
Although both are central to architecture, siting and construction are often treated as separate domains. In "Uncommon Ground", David Leatherbarrow illuminates their relationship, focusing on the years between 1930 and 1960, when utopian ideas about the role of technology in building gave way to an awareness of its disruptive impact on cities and culture. He examines the work of three architects, Richard Neutra, Antonin Raymond, and Aris Konstantinidis, who practiced in the United States, Japan, and Greece respectively. Leatherbarrow rejects the assumption that buildings of the modern period, particularly those that used the latest technology, were designed without regard to their surroundings. Although the prefabricated elements used in the buildings were designed independent of siting considerations, architects used these elements to modulate the environment. Leatherbarrow shows how the role of walls, the traditional element of architectural definition and platform partition, became less significant than that of the platforms themselves, the floors, ceilings, and intermediate levels. He shows how frontality was replaced by the building's four-sided extension into its surroundings, resulting in frontal configurations previously characteristic of the back. Arguing that the boundary between inside and outside was radically redefined, Leatherbarrow challenges cherished notions about the autonomy of the architectural object and about regional coherence. Modern architectural topography, he suggests, is an interplay of buildings, landscapes, and cities, as well as the humans who use them. The conflict between technological progress and cultural continuity, Leatherbarrow claims, exists only in theory, not in the real world of architecture. He argues that the act of building is not a matter of restoring regional identity by re-creating familiar signs, but of incorporating construction into the process of topography's perpetual becoming.

Résumé:
According to Paul Shepheard, architecture is the rearranging of the world for human purposes. Sculpture, machines, and landscapes are all architecture -- every bit as much as buildings are. In his writings, Shepheard examines old assumptions about architecture and replaces the critical theory of the academic with the active theory of the architect-citizen enamored of the world around him. Artificial Love weaves together three stories about architecture into one. The first, about machines as architecture, leads to speculations about technology and the human condition and to the assertion that machines are the sculptures of today. The second story is about the ways that architecture reflects the tribal and personal desires of those who make it. In the West, ideas of community, multiculturalism, and globalization compete furiously, leaving architecture to exist as it always has, as the past in the present. The third story features individual people experiencing their lives in the context of architecture. Here, Shepheard borrows the rhetorical device of Shakespeare's seven ages of man to propose that each person's life imitates the accumulating history of the human species. Shepheard's version of the history of humans is a technological one, in which machines become sculpture and sculpture becomes architecture. For Shepheard, our machines do not separate us from nature. Rather, our technology is our nature, and we cannot but be in harmony with nature. The change that we have wrought in the world, he says, is a wonderful and powerful thing.

Résumé:
Cet essai veut apporter une contribution à l'analyse de la modernité. Il se situe dans une perspective phénoménologique, tout en étant plus proche de la pensée de Lévinas que de celle de Heidegger. Au lieu de présenter la modernité comme un système rationnel, ce texte la décrit comme une "double rupture" avec l'intériorité : la modernité effectue une coupure souvent violente avec la tradition, et elle veut amener l'homme à une nouvelle manière d'être au monde. Plus que sous la forme d'une recherche d'autonomie, il faut donc concevoir la modernité en des termes d'inquiétude et d'espoir. L'architecture moderne, phénomène central de la modernité, vise à réformer le monde vécu afin de rendre possible une existence nouvelle, un "esprit nouveau". Les textes et les oeuvres de Le Corbusier expriment une telle volonté de briser les habitudes anciennes par la transformation de l'espace architectural et par la création d'une poésie nouvelle. L'essai situe la pensée de Le Corbusier dans l'horizon de l'idéologie moderne et l'on souligne la parenté de ses idées avec celles de Gide et de Nietzsche. La modernité veut concevoir l'homme comme un "être mondain" : mais par rapport à un modernisme excessif qui promeut l'idée d'une existence entièrement tournée vers le dehors,il s'agit de sauvegarder une distance au monde.

Résumé:
"BorderLine" highlights a particularly troubled site in Europe, the town and harbor of Kraljevica, just south of Rijeka, Croatia, where the failing ship-building industry and pollution from a large oil refinery threaten both the ecology and the prospects of tourism. Drawing on the results of a workshop organized, funded and conducted by the Research Institute for Experimental Architecture (RIEA) in the Frankopan Castle in Kraljevica, "BorderLine" presents essays and projects by leading thinkers and architects addressing the contemporary problems such regions have within rapidly evolving European and global landscapes. "BorderLine" includes essays by Lebbeus Woods, Gabriela Seifert, Manuel Delanda, Aleksandra Wagner, Heinz Foerster, and Ekkehard Rehfeld; it also includes architectural projects and conceptual proposals by Lebbeus Woods, Peter Cook, Will Alsop, Per Kartredt, Masihiko Yendo, and Guy Lafranchi . This title is the first in the RIEAconcepts series, edited by Lebbeus Woods. These books will present innovative research and experimental projects initiated and implemented by both RIEA and individual architects.
