The Women who changed Architecture chronicles the pioneering women worldwide who have shaped architecture since the late nineteenth century. Women have long been underrepresented in architectural history books, perpetuating the notion that the profession is solely the domain of men. The Women who changed Architecture is a critical step toward correcting the record, highlighting such accomplished practioners as Marion Mahony Griffin, the first woman to receive an architecture license in the United States, in 1894, and Frank Lloyd Wright's longtime lead designer ; Llly Reich, whose pivotal work in the design of the world-renowned Barcelona Pavilion was credited to Mies van der Rohe ; and Anne Griswold Tyng, who played an instrumental role in the design of the interior of Louis Kahn's Yale University Art Gallery and Design Center, considered solely his masterpiece.

a+u’s March issue features the architecture, landscape, and cities of Colombia. A land of intoxicating natural beauty, Colombia has employed architecture as a key agent in rebuilding its cities and civil society as it recovers from decades of civil strife stemming from drug trafficking and guerilla warfare. Situated at the northern tip of South America, the country borders the Pacific Ocean, Caribbean Sea, and the Amazon basin and is equidistant to New York and Rio de Janeiro. Photographic work by Camilo Echavarría illustrates how travels through the country cause one to feel a homogeneous, abstract passage of time. With no seasons, architecture is conditioned by various landscapes formed by the rich geographic diversity across regions. Medellín-based architect and guest editor Camilo Restrepo Ochoa takes us on a journey through his country, where architects create spaces as “types, elements, and instruments of architecture made to question limits, to build an inhabitable threshold that participates in the spatial experience of moving from outside to inside.” Changes in the way of thinking about architecture as an academic, social, and urban tool have created works “articulated through a narrow materiality and low-tech structural systems,” with “a tint of geographically driven tactile richness and a certain pragmatism.” Works by 14 architectural practices across 3 generations are presented in this issue. Also featured is the city of Medellín’s remarkable achievement of reinvigorating its poorest neighborhoods through mobility and urban space. As explained by Rahul Mehrotra, a civil society where patronage, the culture of architecture, and urban planning are aligned has enabled a city to become more efficient, accessible, equitable, and pleasant.

Homosexuality still is a taboo subject in architectural history. When historical architectural personalities have lived outside the heterosexual norm, their private lives are readily shrouded in mysterious obscurity. As long as penal laws endured, social existence was constantly threatened and hiding was a necessity. Defensive strategies were needed to protect themselves. To track down these outsiders of the past, historical sources must be read queerly.Wolfgang Voigt, until 2015 deputy director at the Deutsches Architekturmuseum (DAM) in Frankfurt/Main, and architectural historian Uwe Bresan set out on their search and present the results of their research in this book. It brings together 41 portraits from the 18th to the 20th century in North America, Europe and Palestine. The book reveals architects from the Baroque era to the modern age, surprising biographies, admirable houses and, not infrequently, intelligently designed refuges with which the protagonists protected their private lives.

On the occasion of its 20th anniversary, the Flanders Architecture Institute initiated a creative reflection on VAi and the developments in the field of architecture over the last two decades. In collaboration with Harold Fallon (AgwA & KU Leuven), the topic is tackled from past inspirations, to the present situation of architectural culture and the possible future directions of VAi and architecture in a wider scope. The Pamphlet Twenty Years of Flanders Architecture Institute is the result of a chainmail with 33 correspondents and contains textual and visual materials.

En 1894, L'architecte belge Paul Hankar - un des trois pères de l'Art Nouveau, avec Victor Horta et Henry van de Velde - conçoit un projet de " Quartier moderne " pour l'Exposition universelle de 1897 à Bruxelles. Il le présentera également pour l'Exposition de 1900 à Paris. Dans une architecture de fer et de verre d'expression Art nouveau, Hankar et son complice, le décorateur Adolphe Crespin, imaginent une petite ville articulée autour d'une place publique bordée de magasins, d'hôtels et de restaurants, d'une salle d'exposition, d'une salle de théâtre ainsi que d'une salle de sports. Juste à côté, ils disposent des quartiers d'habitation constitués de petites maisons ouvrières avec jardin mais également de grandes villas, sans oublier, à la périphérie, une piscine, un gymnase et un vélodrome. On accède au quartier par une ligne de tram et un canal, alors qu'une centrale électrique assure son autonomie énergétique. En somme, c'est ce qu'on appelle aujourd'hui un morceau de ville mixte et compacte. Le projet ne verra jamais le jour, ni à Bruxelles ni à Paris, mais donnera lieu à une intense polémique avec un projet " concurrent " de " Quartier XXe siècle ", une polémique qui débouchera sur un procès que Hankar et Crespin perdront. L'analyse détaillée des documents d'archives et de la presse de l'époque éclaire les enjeux des débats sur l'architecture dite moderne en ce XIXe siècle finissant, où les styles néo-historiques font florès. Ce siècle au sujet duquel Viollet-le-Duc demandait s'il était " condamné à finir sans avoir possédé une architecture à lui ". Ensuite, dans une seconde partie, l'auteur s'interroge sur les Expositions universelles d'une manière plus générale et sur la criante absence de l'architecture moderne en leur sein, ceci pouvant expliquer l'échec du projet d'Hankar et Crespin. Temples de l'accumulation des marchandises, lieux du spectacle de l'innovation mais aussi de la tradition, les Expositions universelles, ont concentré bon nombre des contradictions du XIXe siècle. Étaient-elles compatibles avec l'architecture moderne ? Et inversement ?

Giuseppe Pizzigoni, architect of classical and postwar modernism in northern Italy, owes his reputation to his connections with the Novecento movement, his independence from fascism, and his interest in innovative residential floor plans. Using redrawn plans of some 60 realized buildings, the design achievements are systematically analyzed, supplemented by explanations on the historical background, a systematic catalog, and up-to-date photographic documentation.

Beginning in a tiny hermitage on the remote north Scottish coast, and ending up backstage at the National Theatre, Raw Concrete embarks on a wide-ranging journey through Britain over the past sixty years, stopping to examine how eight extraordinary buildings were made - from commission to construction - why they have been so vilified, and why they are beginning to be loved.

Manfredo Tafuri (1935–1994), the celebrated Italian architectural historian, published L’architettura moderna in Giappone in 1964. At the time, Tafuri was twenty-nine years old and had not visited Japan. His slim volume on the country’s postwar architecture was the first in a series of guidebooks on contemporary architecture under the direction of Leonardo Benevolo. Here, translated into English for the first time, the book presents a rare outsider’s view of the Metabolist movement and figures such as Kenzō Tange by one of the most astute critics of the second part of the twentieth century.Tafuri’s ideas about Japanese architecture were primarily formed through texts, including magazine articles and contemporary photographs. How did Tafuri come to select the achievements of Japanese architects as the focus of his reflections on modern architecture? What happens when a historian of architecture relies purely on photographs for making judgments about a building?Edited and introduced by Mohsen Mostafavi, this volume reflects on these questions and more, presenting the translated text alongside essays by Marco Biraghi, Catherine Ingraham, Ken Tadashi Oshima, Federico Scaroni, and Hajime Yatsuka, as well as a rich collection of images. Together, these materials situate the reader in relation to Tafuri’s scholarship, the histories of Japanese architecture and Italian criticism, and the idiosyncrasies of this luminous text.

Taller Héctor Barroso was founded by Héctor Barroso in 2011 in Mexico City, Mexico. The office strives to generate architectural proposals that sink their roots in the local environment and make the most of the natural resources in each place: the incidence of light and shadows, the surrounding vegetation, the geographical features and the local materials and construction techniques. The studio’s architecture thus emerges in harmony with the site. It generates spaces with an emotional content that evoke memories and highlight the habitable quality of the architectural exercise.
