German Architecture for a Mass Audience
ISBN: 9780415236546 / Angielski / Miękka / 184 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Using a social approach to explain the formal aspects of early 20th-century architecture, this book demonstrates that the move away from historical styles and towards an engagement with space was predicted in part by a shift in the public for architecture. By the 1910s German archite cts and their patrons addressed the working and lower middle classes in buildings which they hoped would, by being experienced in the same way regardless of social station, help transcend the countries deep polical divisions. Attaching modernist architecture to mass culture and to the kind of spectacle more often...

ISBN: 9780415260244 / Angielski / Twarda / 533 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. A cognitive history of the emergence of modern architecture. Cutting across disciplinarian and institutional divisions as we know them today, this book reconstructs developments within the framework of a cognitive history of the past. Modern is here taken to mean the radical re-thinking of architecture from the end of the tenth century in Europe to the end of the eighteenth century.

Transforming Barcelona : The Renewal of a European Metropolis
ISBN: 9780415288408 / Angielski / Twarda / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Barcelona is perhaps the European city which has become most renowned for successfully remaking of itself in the last 20 years. This image has been spread cumulatively round the world, by books, television, internet sites, as well as by films and use of the city in advertisements. This book is about the reality behind that image. It describes how the governors, professional planners and architects, and in a wider sense the people of the city and of Catalonia, brought about the succession of changes which began in about 1980. Transforming Barcelona is made up of chapters by those involved in...

Architecture as Experience: Radical Change in Spatial Practice
ISBN: 9780415301589 / Angielski / Twarda / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Architecture as Experience investigates the perception and appropriation of places across intervals of time and culture. The particular concern of the volume is to bring together fresh empirical research and animate it through contact with theoretical sophistication, without overwhelming the material. The chapters establish the continuity of a particular physical object and show it in at least two alternative historical perspectives, in which recognisable features are shown in different lights. The results are often surprising, inverting the common idea of a historic place...

Tracing Modernity: Manifestations of the Modern in Architecture and the City
ISBN: 9780415305129 / Angielski / Miękka / 360 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. From the seventeenth century until today, the "modern" has served as a key category by which to understand an ever-changing present. Art and architecture have played a key role in this pursuit, as the means by which "the modern" was to manifest itself. The essays in this new anthology trace the modern project through its multifarious manifestation in order to understand contemporary culture in a deeper sense than discussions of "modernism" and "post modernism" usually offer. Drawng on architectural and urban history as well as philosophy and sociology, the book outlines the complex and...

Re-Forming Britain: Narratives of Modernity Before Reconstruction
ISBN: 9780415334075 / Angielski / Twarda / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Re-forming Britain considers the nature and practice of architectural modernism in inter-war Britain in a new light. Bringing hitherto little considered protagonists and projects to the fore, it argues that rather than being an imported idiom, the new architecture in Britain formed part of an ongoing attempt to make a modern nation. Spanning the period 1925-42, the book focuses on the key sites from and through which architectural modernism emerged in the UK. Part one considers the main arena in which a will to modernize Britain developed in the 1920s. In parts two...

ISBN: 9780415334082 / Angielski / Miękka / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. With unprecedented depth in this important subject, this book examines architectural modernism in Britain through the 1930s not only as an architectural ideology but as part of a wider modernist movement engaging with other expressive media and with political and social progress. Bringing previously overlooked material to the fore, this study fills a gap in the history of architecture and demonstrates how architects in the late 1920s onwards sought to establish modernism as the dominant force in British architectural culture. With it unique focus on a time at which architectural modernism...

Rethinking Architectural Historiography
ISBN: 9780415360852 / Angielski / Miękka / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Rather than subscribing to a single position, this collection informs the reader about the current state of the discipline looking at changes across the broad field of methodological, theoretical and geographical plurality. Divided into three sections, Rethinking Architectural Historiography begins by renegotiating foundational and contemporary boundaries of architectural history in relation to other fields, such as art history and archaeology. It then goes on to critically engage with past and present histories, disclosing assumptions, biases and absences in architectural historiography....
