Abstract

Author Christoph Grafe investigates an architectonic typology, the cultural edifice, which must often take on the role of national identity and culture in the realisation of a democratic society. This book takes two specific projects as its subject: London's South Bank and the Kulturhus in Stockholm. The buildings were chosen as a result of their architectural meaning, and by the fact that they appeared in two countries that fulfilled a leading role in the development of the post-war 'welfare state'; in Europe. Besides an in-depth analysis of the two cities within the context of their wider national and cultural development, the book includes a photo essay by German photographer Heidi Specker.

Abstract

The clarity of architectural ideas expressed in his buildings have ranged in scale from such small but beautiful residential structures as the Turégano, Gaspar and De Blas houses, to cultural facilities such as Andalucia's Museum of Memory in Granada, an addition to his earlier achievement, the Caja General Bank Headquarters. All share an uncompromising dedication to simple composition, and demonstrate the ways in which he so brilliantly deploys disciplined restraint to achieve architectural silence in the face of the clamour of the modern city. Contributions by Richard Meier, Jesus Aparicio, David Chipperfield and Manuel Blanco offer critical commentary on Campo Baeza's persistent quest for beauty and relevance through his adherence to simplicity and a deeply felt devotion to modernist principles of architecture.

Abstract

"Dissects fifty of the world's modern masterpieces, constructed from 1950 to the present, through specially commissioned freehand drawings that reveal the principles and details of what makes a building meaningful and enduring. Starting from its site, each work is analyzed through its surroundings, use of natural light, volumes and massing; its program and circulation; and its details, fenestration and ornamentation, showing the reader how the building works as a cohesive whole."--Back cover.

Abstract

25 jaar Belgische architectuur in woord en beeld Architectuurexpert en literair multitalent Christophe Van Gerrewey over een kwarteeuw Belgische architectuur. Een eigenzinnige selectie van de 75 belangrijkste architectuurprojecten sinds 1989, compleet met interviews met de belangrijkste protagonisten. In een kwarteeuw ontpopte ons land zich van architecturale woestenij tot gidsland. Van Gerrewey schetst die evolutie aan de hand van 75 iconische gebouwen en projecten. Hij ging ook praten met de belangrijkste architecten sinds 1989 en wijdt een extra hoofdstuk aan de realisaties van 'onze' Belgen in het buitenland.
