Abstract

Cette réédition du numéro spécial de la revue française d'avant-garde L'Architecture Vivante, est augmentée de trois articles introductifs qui permettent de comprendre :- les conditions de la redécouverte de cette icône dans les années 1970 ;- le contexte de sa conception et les motivations de Le Corbusier lorsqu'il appose ses peintures murales ;- les choix techniques qui dérivent des contraintes du chantier. Attentive à préserver une dimension poétique et une éthique humaniste dans la conduite de son travail, Eileen Gray nous livre avec E.1027 un témoignage rare et précieux du rêve moderne de l'oeuvre d'art totale. ans le cadre des commémorations du cinquantenaire de la disparition de Le Corbusier, le site Cap Martin où se trouvent le cabanon et les unités de camping de Le Corbusier ainsi que la villa E1027 réalisée par Eileen Gray et Jean Badovici ouvre au public (inauguration 26 juin 2015).C'est dans ce contexte que les éditions Imbernon ont décidé de publier sous forme reliée avec une couverture souple à rabat et en version bilingue anglais/français, ce titre de leur catalogue E.1027 Maison en bord de mer, publié en 2006 et aujourd'hui épuisé dans sa version portfolio (fac-similé de L'Architecture vivante 1929).

Abstract

In 1929, Eileen Gray designed Villa E 1027 for herself and her youthful partner Jean Badovici, but only lived there for three years. Today, the elegant house in Roquebrune-Cap-Martin in southern France is an icon of modernism. In 1937, Le Corbusier discovered the place and the “Maison en Bord de Mer”. Inspired by the genius of the place and the light on the Côte d'Azur, he created a total of eight large-format wall paintings there in 1938 and 1939 onwards, some of which complement the building congenially, while others set counterpoints. In 1952, he built his Cabanon nearby and decorated it with murals as well.This book by the well-known architectural historian Tim Benton documents Le Corbusier's artwork at this special place, explores its controversies, and places it in his overall oeuvre.

Abstract

Women Architects in the Modern Movement rewrites the history of modern architecture to elevate the often-overlooked female architects who helped build the movement. Starting with a theoretical analysis that situates women’s roles both in society and architecture specifically, Carmen Espegel examines the transition from women as objects to subjects at the advent of modernity. This theoretical basis is grounded through four case studies on pioneering women architects: Eileen Gray, Lilly Reich, Margarete Schütte-Lihotzky and Charlotte Perriand. Along with illuminating their lives and work, Espegel aims to help us examine and observe the world from a perspective where the feminine and masculine are not exclusive, so that we might learn from the past in order to build with dignity in the future.

Abstract

"Eileen Gray (1878-1976) was a versatile designer and architect who navigated numerous literary and artistic circles over the course of her life. This handsome volume chronicles Gray's career as a designer, architect, painter, and photographer. The book's essays, featuring copious new research, offer in-depth analysis of more than 50 individual designs and architectural projects, accompanied by both period and new photographs. Born in Ireland and educated in London, Gray proceeded to Paris where she opened a textile studio, studied the Japanese craft of lacquer that would become a primary technique in her design work, and owned and directed the influential gallery and store known as "Jean Désert." Gray struggled for acceptance as a largely self-taught woman in male-dominated professions. Although she is now best known for her furniture, lighting, and carpets, she dedicated herself to many architectural and interior projects that were both personal and socially driven, including the Villa E 1027, the iconic modern house designed with Jean Badovici, as well as economical and demountable projects, such as the Camping Tent"--

Abstract

Usually associated with Mies and Le Corbusier, the Modern Movement was instrumental in advancing new technologies of construction in architecture, including the use of glass, steel, and reinforced concrete. Renowned historian Kenneth Frampton offers a bold look at this crucial period, focusing on architects less commonly associated with the movement in order to reveal the breadth and complexity of architectural modernism. The Other Modern Movement profiles nineteen architects, each of whom consciously contributed to the evolution of a new architectural typology through a key work realized between 1922 and 1962.0 0Frampton?s account offers new insights into iconic buildings like Eileen Gray?s E-1027 House in France and Richard Neutra?s Kaufmann House in Palm Springs, California, as well as lesser-known works such as Antonin Raymond?s Tokyo Golf Club and Alejandro de la Sota?s Maravillas School Gymnasium in Madrid. Foregrounding the ways that these diverse projects employed progressive models, advanced new methods in construction techniques, and displayed a new sociocultural awareness, Frampton shines a light on the rich legacy of the Modern Movement and the enduring potential of the unfinished modernist project.
