Abstract

Ästhetik und Konstruktion: das Zusammenwirken von Gestaltung und Technik anhand herausragender Gebäudebeispiele Anlässlich des 50jährigen Jubiläums hat die Redaktion erstmals in einem Band ausgewählte Artikel und Projektbeispiele aus zwei Jahrzehnten zusammengefasst - einem Zeitraum, in dem Verbreitung und Einfluss der Zeitschrift kontinuierlich gewachsen sind, Konzept und Erscheinungsbild beständig weiterentwickelt wurden und in den Jahren 1997 und 98 die behutsame Umstellung von der Hand- zur digitalen Zeichnung erfolgte. Dieser Band veranschaulicht nicht nur die Entwicklung der Zeitschrift selbst, sondern zeichnet kaleidoskopartig auch ein Bild der Architektur der letzten zwei Jahrzehnte, seiner Strömungen und Trends aber auch seiner konstruktiven Eigenheiten und leistet damit nicht zuletzt einen wesentlichen Beitrag zur Architekturdiskussion. Wie die Zeitschrift selbst, bietet die Publikation weitreichende Inspirationen und Hilfestellungen für die tägliche Arbeit.

Abstract

Much of modernist architecture was inspired by the emergence of internationalism: the ethics and politics of world peace, justice and unity through global collaboration. Mark Crinson here shows how the ideals represented by the Tower of Babel - built, so the story goes, by people united by one language - were effectively adapted by internationalist architecture, its styles and practices, in the modern period. Focusing particularly on the points of convergence between modernist and internationalist trends in the 1920s, and again in the immediate post-war years, he underlines how such architecture utilised the themes of a cooperative community of builders and a common language of forms. The 'International Style' was one manifestation of this new way of thinking, but Crinson shows how the aims of modernist architecture frequently engaged with the substance of an internationalist mindset in addition to sharing surface similarities. Bringing together the visionaries of internationalist projects - including Le Corbusier, Bruno Taut, Berthold Lubetkin, Walter Gropius and Mies van der Rohe - Crinson interweaves ideas of evolution, ecology, utopia, regionalism, socialism, free trade, and anti-colonialism to reveal the possibilities heralded by modernist architecture.

Abstract

Comprehensive overview on the work of renowned London architect Tony Fretton (born 1945).After graduating from the reputable Architectural Association in 1982 Fretton opened his own architect's office. He attracted attention early on with the Lisson Gallery and the "Red House" (London). His spatial creations and their incorporation into the urban context are of subtle mastery. With his designs for the Camden Arts Centre, the Fuglsang Kunstmuseum in Denmark, London townhouse for the artist Anish Kapoor and the British embassy in Warsaw, Fretton has emerged as one of the most prominent contemporary architects.

Abstract

This book provides a comprehensive, critical overview of the developments in architecture from 1960 to 2010. The first section provides a presentation of major movements in architecture after 1960, and the second, a geographic survey that covers a wide range of territories around the world. This book not only reflects the different perspectives of its various authors, but also charts a middle course between the 'aesthetic' histories that examine architecture solely in terms of its formal aspects, and the more 'ideological' histories that subject it to a critique that often skirts the discussion of its formal aspects.

Abstract

Wie de gebouwen van de Spanjaard Santiago Calatrava ziet, merkt meteen dat deze 56-jarige architect ook een opleiding tot ingenieur heeft genoten. Met zijn grondige kennis van de constructieleer slaagt Calatrava er telkens weer in om uitzonderlijke vormen te creëren. Hij vertrekt daarbij vanuit het principe dat de vorm van een gebouw gebaseerd is op zijn basisstructuur, een werkwijze die schatplichtig is aan de 'structurele architectuur' van de Fransman Auguste Perret. Tot de opvallendste realisaties van Calatrava behoren de torenflat Turning Torso in Malmö, de Ciutat de les Arts i les Ciències in Valencia, het Opera House in Tenerife en het TGV-station in Luik.
