Kategoria BISAC: Architecture >> History - Modern (Late 19th Century to 1945)

In the changing world of interwar Europe a longing for stability rose to the surface of social life. Newly developed neighbourhoods and buildings were designed to create the healing community that many people were dreaming of. Various social groups with nationalist, ideological, or religious agendas made this concept of community a cornerstone in their framework and appropriated it to prescribe the relations between architecture and modernity. Making a New World analyses the various ways in which these relations were determined.

Most reformers encountered the potentialities...

Beginning from the rise of modern history in the eighteenth century, this book examines how changing ideas in the discipline of history itself has affected architecture from the beginnings of modernity up to the present day. It reflects upon history in order to encourage and assist the reader in finding well-founded principles for architectural design.

This is not simply another history of architecture, nor a history of histories . Setting buildings in their contemporaneous ideas about history, it spans from Fischer von Erlach to Venturi, and beyond, to architects working in the fallout...

Although modernization in Korea started more than a century later than in the West, it has worked as a prominent ideology throughout the past century--in particular it has brought radical changes in Korean architecture and cities. Traditional structures and ways of life have been thoroughly uprooted in modernity's continuous negation of the past. This book presents a comprehensive overview of architectural development and urbanization in Korea within the broad framework of modernization.

Twentieth-century Korean architecture and cities form three distinctive periods. The first,...

With its search for purity, honesty, modesty, and "fitness of purpose," the late nineteenth and early twentieth century concept of architectural regionalism is seminal to the modern movement. In later historiography, however, regionalism in Europe was neglected and even labeled "backward." The origins of this drastic change of perception can be traced to the 1930s, when regionalism as a positive form gradually turned into a "closed" form of regionalism, a folding back on one's own region as a defense mechanism in an economically and politically turbulent decade.

In this book,...

Chicago is a city dedicated to the modern from the skyscrapers that punctuate its skyline to the spirited style that inflects many of its dwellings and institutions, from the New Bauhaus to Hull-House. Despite this, the city has long been overlooked as a locus for modernism in the arts, its rich tradition of architecture, design, and education disregarded. Still the modern in Chicago continues to thrive, as new generations of artists incorporate its legacy into fresh visions for the future. "Chicago Makes Modern "boldly remaps twentieth-century modernism from our new-century perspective by...

James Stirling (1924-1992) was, arguably, the most influential and controversial post-war British architect. Stirling's reputation is based primarily on such seminal buildings as the Leicester University Engineering Building (1959-63, with James Gowan), at one end of his career, and the Neue Staatsgalerie Stuttgart (1977-83, with Michael Wilford) at the other. Although he denied both labels, his work is seen as central to New Brutalism and Post-Modernism and his buildings attracted commentary and theory from the leading architectural thinkers of the day (including Frampton, Tafuri,...
