Architecture and freehand drawing are inextricably linked. Even in the Gothic period, the principle applied: what you can't build, you at least draw. The same applies to the sketches of Wolf dPrix, co-founder and CEO of Coop Himmelb(l)au. Over the 53 years of their creation, Prix’s sketches formed the first stage of every design – despite rapid developments in digital architecture. Whereas his freehand drawings were proxies for completed projects in the 1960s and 1970s, today they serve as strategic guides to the firm’s complex buildings. From 2,800 archival drawings, 1,300 examples were selected for publication to represent developmental dynamics in an archive-like format. As invaluable documents of architectural history, they illustrate some 320 selected projects. Architektur und Handzeichnung sind untrennbar verbunden. Schon in der Gotik galt: Was man nicht bauen kann, wird zumindest gezeichnet. Dasselbe galt für die Skizzen von Wolf dPrix, Mitbegründer und CEO von Coop Himmelb(l)au. In den 53 Jahren ihrer Entstehung bildeten die Skizzen den ersten Schritt jedes Entwurfs – ungeachtet rasanter Entwicklungen digitaler Architektur. Waren Prix’ Freihandzeichnungen in den 1960er- und 1970er-Jahren Stellvertreter für das Gebaute, sind sie heute strategische Anleitungen für die komplexen Bauten des Studios. Aus 2.800 Archivzeichnungen wurden 1.300 Beispiele für die Publikation ausgewählt, um in einer archivartigen Aufbereitung Entwicklungsdynamiken darzustellen. Als unschätzbare Dokumente der Architekturgeschichte machen sie rund 320 ausgewählte Projekte anschaulich.

Philip Johnson und Mark Wigley versammelten 1988 in ihrer ebenso erfolgreichen wie umstrittenen Ausstellung »Deconstructivist Architecture« Namen, die heute zur internationalen Elite der »Starchitects« gehören: Frank Gehry, Daniel Libeskind, Rem Koolhaas, Peter Eisenman, Zaha Hadid, Coop Himmelb(l)au und Bernard Tschumi. Simone Kraft legt nun, mehr als 25 Jahre später, erstmals eine Untersuchung zu den Widersprüchlichkeiten der Ausstellung vor. Sie macht sich intensive Archivrecherchen und Informationen von Zeitzeugen zunutze, um die ungewöhnlichen organisatorischen Hintergründe zu rekonstruieren und argumentative Schwachstellen des kuratorischen Konzepts zu beleuchten. So wird schließlich am Beispiel der sieben ausgestellten Architekten eine Annäherung an einen fundierte(re)n Begriff von der dekonstruktivistischen Architektur ermöglicht.

"Although highly regarded during his short life - and honored by artists and architects today - the American artist Gordon Matta-Clark (1943-78) has been largely ignored within the history of art. Matta-Clark is best remembered for site-specific projects known as "building cuts." Sculptural transformations of architecture produced through direct cuts into buildings scheduled for demolition, these works now exist only as sculptural fragments, photographs, and film and video documentations. Matta-Clark is also remembered as a catalytic force in the creation of SoHo in the early 1970s. Through loft activities, site projects at the exhibition space 112 Greene Street, and his work at the restaurant Food, he participated in the production of a new social and artistic space."--BOOK JACKET. "In this first critical account of Matta-Clark's work, Lee considers it in the context of the art of the 1970s - particularly site-specific, conceptual, and minimalist practices - and its confrontation with issues of community, property, the alienation of urban space, the "right to the city," and the ideologies of progress that have defined modern building programs."--Jacket.

This book is based on the proceedings of the forum of the same name at the Royal Academy of Arts in London, where the participants discussed Popular Architecture and the various notions surrounding it, especially the ideas of "the popular" and "pop art". Speakers included Charles Jencks, Robert Maxwell, Terry Farrell, James Wines, Piers Gough, Geoffrey Broadbent and many other internationally renowned architects and critics. Examples of this kind of architecture are presented, including recent projects by Robert Stern, particularly his work at Euro Disney, the Chiat/Day/Mojo building by Claes Oldenburg and Frank Gehry, and the work of Basil Bayati and Tomas Taveira. There is also an exclusive interview of Robert Venturi and Denise Scott Brown by Robert Maxwell.
