Abstract

Histoire et analyses critiques du Mouvement moderne et de l'urbanisation rapide et volontaire avec, bien sûr, la création de Brasilia qui a mis le Brésil au centre de la création architecturale. Cet ouvrage ne se limite pas à l'étude des années 30 aux années 60 et le dernier chapitre présente quelques réalisations datant du tout début du 21e siècle... This is the most comprehensive survey and analysis of twentieth-century Brazilian Architecture, written by Brazilian architects and writers for an international audience. Its key events and buildings appear not in a conventional chronological account but within a series of thematic chapters (critical reception, construction issues, urbanism, typological description of the modern house, affordable housing and new fields of practice, survey of recent works). It is a history of Brazilian modern architecture retold with a Brazilian voice by the new generation of critics and historians. This book offers a fresh reading of the well-known era of high-modernism of the 1930s-1960s placing it within both the context of architecture before and since and the broader changes taking place in Brazilian culture at the time. It also charts post-Brasilia developments, including contemporary projects, showing how architects have adapted to the contradictions of an increasingly polarised society and the relevance of Brazilian architecture for current debates around issues such as large-scale urban growth and the tension between local identities and global civilisation. Covering around 200 projects, it is extensively illustrated with both historical black and white photographs and new colour photographs and drawings. (extrait du deuxième de couverture)

Abstract

"A balance of sophistication and clarity in the writing, authoritative entries, and strong cross-referencing that links archtects and structures to entries on the history and theory of the profession make this an especially useful source on a century of the world's most notable architecture. The contents feature major architects, firms, and professional issues; buildings, styles, and sites; the architecture of cities and countries; critics and historians; construction, materials, and planning topics; schools, movements, and stylistic and theoretical terms. Entries include well-selected bibliographies and illustrations."--"Reference that rocks," American Libraries, May 2005.

Abstract

"Metamorph" est le thème de la Biennale d'architecture 2004, choisi par le directeur Kurt W.Forster, qui met en avant les changements fondamentaux de l'architecture contemporaine à la fois dans la pratique et dans la théorie ainsi que dans l'application des nouvelles technologies. This three-volume catalogue of the 9th International Architecture Exhibition of the Venice Biennial presents an anthology of ideas centered around this year's theme: metamorphosis. The 2004 exhibition celebrates the critical transformations which over the past several decades have been so profound as to mark a momentous passage in the evolution of architecture from its postwar condition and status to its current and future potential. Metamorph features the most important current projects from the world's top architects featured in the Venice Architecture Biennial. Established architects such as Peter Eisenman and Frank Gehry will be featured as well as the latest emerging talents, tendencies, and accomplishments. This book will be the definitive catalog of what is perhaps the most important architecture exhibition in the world.

Abstract

For their rigorous and loving determination, for the tireless and patient research, Siza's houses offer us an exemplary lesson of intellectual greatness. The houses shown here were designed and built over a period of time of fifty years, beginning with the four houses in Matosinhos and up to the present day, with the house in Majorca currently under construction. Such an array of houses constitues, for a single architect, an authentic field of research, where continuità allows a specific reflection and at the same time a more general one on the theme itself and on architecture. The subject of this book is the single-family house in the work of Alvaro Siza. This is a well-defined and very significant theme within the context of Siza's production, although it has never before been presented and studied in a systematic manner. The interest of this volume, then, is rooted in the clarity of the selection, limited only to single-family houses, in an attempt to fill what appears to us to be a gap.
