Abstract

"Although highly regarded during his short life - and honored by artists and architects today - the American artist Gordon Matta-Clark (1943-78) has been largely ignored within the history of art. Matta-Clark is best remembered for site-specific projects known as "building cuts." Sculptural transformations of architecture produced through direct cuts into buildings scheduled for demolition, these works now exist only as sculptural fragments, photographs, and film and video documentations. Matta-Clark is also remembered as a catalytic force in the creation of SoHo in the early 1970s. Through loft activities, site projects at the exhibition space 112 Greene Street, and his work at the restaurant Food, he participated in the production of a new social and artistic space."--BOOK JACKET. "In this first critical account of Matta-Clark's work, Lee considers it in the context of the art of the 1970s - particularly site-specific, conceptual, and minimalist practices - and its confrontation with issues of community, property, the alienation of urban space, the "right to the city," and the ideologies of progress that have defined modern building programs."--Jacket.

Abstract

Between 1984 and 1994 Jacques Derrida wrote and spoke a great deal about architecture both in his academic work and in connection with a number of particular building projects around the world. He engaged significantly with the work of architects such as Bernard Tschumi, Peter Eisenman, and Daniel Libeskind. Derrida conceived of architecture as an example of the kind of multidimensional writing that he had theorized in Of Grammatology, identifying a rich common ground between architecture and philosophy in relation to ideas about political community and the concept of dwelling. In this book, Francesco Vitale analyzes Derrida's writings and demonstrates how Derrida's work on this topic provides a richer understanding of his approach to deconstruction, highlighting the connections and differences between philosophical deconstruction and architectural deconstructivism.

Abstract

This book is based on the proceedings of the forum of the same name at the Royal Academy of Arts in London, where the participants discussed Popular Architecture and the various notions surrounding it, especially the ideas of "the popular" and "pop art". Speakers included Charles Jencks, Robert Maxwell, Terry Farrell, James Wines, Piers Gough, Geoffrey Broadbent and many other internationally renowned architects and critics. Examples of this kind of architecture are presented, including recent projects by Robert Stern, particularly his work at Euro Disney, the Chiat/Day/Mojo building by Claes Oldenburg and Frank Gehry, and the work of Basil Bayati and Tomas Taveira. There is also an exclusive interview of Robert Venturi and Denise Scott Brown by Robert Maxwell.
