Abstract

"Green vs grey, plants vs concrete: 175 images of Brutalist structures interrogated by nature from the Instagram account @brutalistplants. Brutalist architecture is commonly associated with a cold, austere aesthetic. But architects have long found ways of incorporating greenery into their more brutal designs, creating a striking contrast between the hard and the soft, the cold and the complex, the sharp edges of concrete and shapes of living plants. And even when not designed to do so, nature often has its own way of reclaiming the built environment. From green roofs to living walls, from the pocket gardens of Le Corbusier's Unité d'Habitation to the lush courtyards and conservatory of London's Barbican Centre, Olivia Broome has curated a visual celebration of brutalist plants"--Publisher's description.

Abstract

SOS Brutalism is a distress signal. Since the 1950s, eminent architects around the world have realised buildings expressing an uncompromising attitude. Predominantly, yet not exclusively, they used exposed concrete, or béton brut (hence the term 'brutalism'), for their construction. Today, many of these always-controversial buildings are in danger of demolition or, at least, of reconstruction that often may change their appearance beyond recognition. In recent years, an initiative to protect and preserve this significant global heritage of 20th-century architecture has gained momentum, mainly through the internet. Using the hashtag #SOSBrutalism, the Deutsches Architekturmuseum (DAM, German Museum of Architecture) in Frankfurt on the Main and the Wüstenrot Foundation participate in this campaign, and have developed a vast collaborative research project.The result of this research to date is a global survey of brutalist architecture of the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s, presented in an exhibition at DAM in Autumn 2017 and a coinciding and uniquely comprehensive book. Some 100 contributors document around 120 key buildings from this period, including many previously unpublished discoveries that are in acute danger of loss through neglect or intended demolition. Moreover, the book features overviews of brutalism in architecture in twelve regions around the world. Case studies of hotspots such as the Macedonian capital Skopje or New Haven, Connecticut, and essays on the history and theory of brutalism round out this lavishly illustrated book. The supplement collects papers of an international symposium on brutalism in architecture held in Berlin in 2012.

Abstract

L'architecte moderniste Juliaan Lampens (1926) a expérimenté l'usage du béton et créé des parois extérieures sculpturales qui donnent sur d'amples horizons. Son architecture dépasse les projets pour habitats conventionnels et ambitionne plutôt de proposer une habitation avant-gardiste à caractère utopiste et sans frontières. Cette publication a pour but de faire reconnaître et d'accorder la place qui lui revient à l'œuvre de Lampens, succincte mais unique au sein du courant moderniste. Grâce aux contributions venant de points de vue très variés, elle met en lumière les théories et la pratique multiforme de cet architecte passionnant et particulièrement créatif. http://www.bozar.be/activity.php?id=10671 (7/12/10)
