Abstract

Onder invloed van zijn vaders kunstcollectief l'Ecole de Nancy, die kunst toegankelijker wilde maken, gebruikte de Fransman Jean Prouvé (1901-1984) zijn opleiding als smid en metaalbewerker ook tijdens zijn succesvolle carrière als architect en meubelontwerper. Toegepaste kunst moest eenvoudig, gebruiksvriendelijk en mooi zijn, vond Prouvé. Zijn metalen meubels en het Maison du Peuple in Clichy gelden nog steeds als toonbeelden van elegant Productivisme.

Abstract

Parmi les agences qui ont marqué l’architecture et l’urbanisme de l’après-guerre, celle formée par Georges Candilis (1913-1995), Alexis Josic (1921) et Shadrach Woods (1923-1973) tient une place particulière. En une dizaine d’années de travail commun (1955-1964), ces trois architectes installés en France ont posé les bases théoriques d’une critique du fonctionnalisme et, à travers d’innombrables chantiers, mis en application à grande échelle les principes d’une architecture nouvelle, dite « proliférante ». Cet ouvrage propose, à travers l’étude d’œuvres emblématiques dans l’histoire du logement et des grands équipements (Bagnols-sur-Cèze, Toulouse Le Mirail, l’Université Libre de Berlin), un nouveau regard sur la production de cette agence, longtemps incarnée par la figure médiatique de Georges Candilis. En précisant le rôle de chacun des protagonistes dans la conception des projets, cette première monographie consacrée au trio Candilis-Josic-Woods inaugure la réévaluation d’un pan important de l’histoire de l’architecture moderne

Abstract

In Le Corbusier: Secret Photographer Tim Benton reflects on the famous architect's use of photography, starting with the young Charles-Edouard Jeanneret's attempts to take professional photographs during his travels in central Europe, the Balkans, Turkey, Greece, and Italy. While Le Corbusier always claimed that he saw no virtue in taking photographs, he actually bought three cameras and took several hundred photographs between 1907 and 1917, many of them of publishable quality.

Abstract

A lovingly book devoted to the too-brief career of a Swiss architect who stood outside the conventions of the post-war. Jean Tschumi, Architecture at Full Scale is the first book on a Swiss architect who, after his training at the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris, entered the polemical field of modernity and its technological expression. Interrupted by his tragic death in 1962 at the age of 57, Tschumi's work is rich in theoretical questions. What is the meaning of the design at full scale, not only for carpets, tables or armchairs? Why does the architect study his compositions at the minimal scale of a "postage stamp"? Is furniture the starting point of architecture? Why should the project be studied through the systematical use of variants? Does the future of the city lie in the planning of deep underground systems?
