Abstract

This highly acclaimed survey of modern architecture and its origins has become a classic since it first appeared in 1980, and has helped to shape architectural practice and discourse worldwide. For this extensively revised and updated fifth edition, Kenneth Frampton has added a new section that explores in detail the modernist tradition in architecture across the globe in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. He examines the varied ways in which architects are not only responding to the geographical, climatic, material and cultural contexts of their buildings, but also pursuing distinct lines of approach that emphasize topography, morphology, sustainability, materiality habitat and civic form. It remains an essential book for all students of architecture and architectural history.

Abstract

João Vilanova Artigas's work, which spans five decades in all, is prolific and extensive. Unfortunately, much of this work is in a precarious state of preservation today. As a result, the most expressive group of works that are well-or reasonably well-preserved consists of single-family houses and apartment buildings. These we have chosen according to criteria of aesthetic and discursive importance, mainly from the so-called 'brutalist' phase, which is without doubt the architect's most personal and radical. Oustanding among these are the Louveira Building (1946-1949), Vilanova Artigas's second house (1949), the Baeta House (1956-1957), the Rubens de Mendonça House (1958-1959), the second Taques Bittencourt house (1959), the Ivo Viterito House (1962-1963), the Mendes André House (1966-1967), the Elza Berquó House (1967) and the Martirani House (1969-1974), all in São Paulo. To this group we have added a few fundamental public buildings, like Guarulhos High School (1960-1962), the CECAP Zezinho Magalhães Prado housing complex (1967-1972), the bus stations in Londrina (1950-1952) and Jaú (1973-1975), and the building for the Faculty of Architecture and Planning of the Universidade de São Paulo (FAU-USP, 1961-1968), his masterpiece. Vilanova Artigas's political and architectural ideal was to build for the community, hence the fact that it was in the programme of public buildings that his philosophy encountered a more favourable and forceful area of exploration.
