Abstract

As a key figure in twentieth-century architecture, Le Corbusier had a major influence on the cultural life of his time. The publication "Le Corbusier - The Art of Architecture" presents an overview of his oeuvre, which included not only architectural projects, interior design and furniture but also paintings, textiles, sculptures, drawings and books. Detailed essays of well-known Le Corbusier experts examine outstanding aspects in Le Corbusiers work such as the relation of sculpture and architecture, his work as an interior designer, his fascination with new media and the technical object or his life-long interest in the Orient. A richly illustrated biography is showing the huge creative output of a career of more than 60 years. Based on the latest research results, and on a rich choice of previously unpublished material, this book is a comprehensive introduction to Le Corbusier's work and influences, but also offers new discoveries for the many people already familiar with the work of this "Architect of the Century". The publication is accompanying the first major Le Corbusier retrospective in more than 20 years. It includes texts by Stanislaus von Moos, Jean-Louis Cohen, Arthur Rüegg, Beatriz Colomina, Mateo Kries and others.

Abstract

Housing is scarce, that much has become evident in the last few years. As real estate prices in big cities continue to skyrocket, conventional ideas of housing development prove unable to meet demands. The reaction to these challenges has been a silent revolution in contemporary architecture - towards collective building and living. Using models, films, and walk-in displays, the exhibition 'Together! The New Architecture of the Collective' addresses this global phenomenon by presenting a broad array of collective building and living projects from Europe, Asia, and the United States. An overview of historical precedents for the current wave of collectives demonstrates that the idea of collectivity has been a recurring theme in the history of architecture, from the reformist ideas of the nineteenth century to the hippies and squatters of the twentieth who touted the slogan 'Make love, not lofts'

Abstract

Balkrishna V. Doshi (b. 1927 in Pune) is one of the most influential pioneers of modern architecture in India. His life's work was honored in 2018 with the prestigious Pritzker Prize. Doshi has realized more than one hundred projects, including administrative and cultural facilities, housing developments, and residential buildings. He has become internationally known for his visionary urban planning and social housing projects, as well as his involvement in education. His most important buildings include the School of Architecture in Ahmedabad (1966 - 68) and the Aranya housing development in Indore (1989). "Balkrishna Doshi: Architecture for the People" is the first overview of the architect's work in over twenty years, analyzing his most important works and providing timely context to his oeuvre. In-depth academic texts by outstanding experts in the field, including Kenneth Frampton, Kazi Ashraf, and Juhani Pallasmaa, give insights into the inspiration behind Doshi's work and background to his projects, as well as his lasting influence on younger generations. The richly illustrated survey comes complete with a detailed biography and new photographs of his buildings, which demonstrate the impressive timeliness of the Indian master's approach to a wide variety of typologies.
