Book Synopsis Walter Gropius, 1883-1969 by : Gilbert Lupfer
Download or read book Walter Gropius, 1883-1969 written by Gilbert Lupfer and published by Taschen. This book was released on 2004 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Born and educated in Germany, Walter Gropius (1883-1969) belongs to the select group of architects that massively influenced the international development of modern architecture. As the founding director of the Bauhaus, Gropius made inestimable contributions to his field, to the point that knowing his work is crucial to understanding Modernism. His early buildings, such Fagus Boot-Last Factory and the Bauhaus Building in Dessau, with their use of glass and industrial features, are still indispensable points of reference. After his emigration to the United States, he influenced the education of architects there and became, along with Mies van der Rohe, a leading proponent of the International Style.
Book Synopsis Modern Architecture by : Otto Wagner
Download or read book Modern Architecture written by Otto Wagner and published by Getty Publications. This book was released on 1988 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1896, Otto Wagner's "Modern Architecture" shocked the European architectural community with its impassioned plea for an end to eclecticism and for a "modern" style suited to contemporary needs and ideals, utilizing the nascent constructional technologies and materials. Through the combined forces of his polemical, pedagogical, and professional efforts, this determined, newly appointed professor at the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts emerged in the late 1890s - along with such contemporaries as Charles Rennie Mackintosh in Glasgow and Louis Sullivan in Chicago - as one of the leaders of the revolution soon to be identified as the "Modern Movement." Wagner's historic manifesto is now presented in a new English translation - the first in almost ninety years - based on the expanded 1902 text and noting emendations made to the 1896, 1898, and 1914 editions. In his introduction, Dr. Harry Mallgrave examines Wagner's tract against the backdrop of nineteenth-century theory, critically exploring the affinities of Wagner's revolutionary élan with the German eclectic debate of the 1840s, the materialistic tendencies of the 1870s and 1880s, and the emerging cultural ideology of modernity. Modern Architecture is one of those rare works in the literature of architecture that not only proclaimed the dawning of a new era, but also perspicaciously and cogently shaped the issues and the course of its development; it defined less the personal aspirations of one individual and more the collective hopes and dreams of a generation facing the sanguine promise of a new century
Book Synopsis The Transparent State by : Deborah Ascher Barnstone
Download or read book The Transparent State written by Deborah Ascher Barnstone and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2004-11-10 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examining the transformation of transparency as a metaphor in West German political thought to an analogy for democratic architecture, this bookquestions the prevailing assumption in German architectural circles that transparency in governmental buildings can be equated with openness, accessibility and greater democracy. The Transparent State traces the development of transparency in German political and architectural culture, tying this lineage to the relationship between culture and national identity, a connection that began before unification of the German state in the eighteenth century and continues today. The Weimar Republic and Third Reich periods are examined although the focus is on the postwar period, looking at the use of transparency in the three projects for a national parliament - the 1949 Bundestag project by Hans Schwippert, the 1992 Bundestag building by Gunter Behnisch and the 1999 Reichstag renovation by Norman Foster. Transparency is an important issue in contemporary architectural practice; this book will appeal to both the practising architect and the architectural historian.

Book excerpt: Berlin Free University is an imagination of what a building might be - a building designed to function as a piece of the city, adapting to the needs of its users while generating opportunities for social interaction. The university offers a window onto the politicized and optimistic discourse of the Sixties and Seventies, but at the same time illuminates contemporary debates around large projects of infrastructure and public space.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This highly acclaimed survey of modern architecture and its origins has become a classic since it first appeared in 1980, and has helped to shape architectural practice and discourse worldwide. For this extensively revised and updated fifth edition, Kenneth Frampton has added a new section that explores in detail the modernist tradition in architecture across the globe in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. He examines the varied ways in which architects are not only responding to the geographical, climatic, material and cultural contexts of their buildings, but also pursuing distinct lines of approach that emphasize topography, morphology, sustainability, materiality habitat and civic form. It remains an essential book for all students of architecture and architectural history.
Download or read book Next written by Alison Morris and published by Rizzoli International Publications. This book was released on 2002 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This two-volume catalogue of this year's Venice Architecture Biennial, brings together some of the most important current projects from the world's top architects. The architects literally range from A to Z, from Tadao Ando to Peter Zumthor, and the works covered will shape the face of the built environment for decades to come. Like the catalog, the show itself is divided into two parts, the first, exhibited in the historic Venice Arsenale, features 100 designs from around the world that are currently under construction, presented in the form of large-scale models and prototypes. These designs are grouped together by building type--housing, museums, skyscrapers, office and workplace design, media companies and facilities, performing arts, commercial design, educational facilities, religious architecture, and master plans. The other part of the exhibition is in the various national pavilions, where architects have interpreted and presented work in their own way. Some consist only of projects built in a particular country, some only of work by architects born in that country. The approaches are as varied as the countries themselves. Combined, they provide a spectacular preview of the future of design. From master plans to individual houses, the works exhibited cover the gamut of architectural design. For anyone interested in the future of architecture, Next, the catalog of this exhibition, will be an essential reference for years to come. A partial list of architects includes: Tadao Ando Shigeru Ban Lab Architecture Studio UN Studio (Ben van Berkel) Bolles-Wilson Skidmore Owings & Merrill David Chipperfield Architects Odile Decq Diener & Diener Diller &Scofidio Peter Eisenman Norman Foster & Partners Frank Gehry Gregotti Associati Zaha Hadid Herzog & De Meuron Steven Holl Arata Isozaki Toyo Ito Future Systems Kohn Pedersen Fox O.M.A. Rem Koolhaas Daniel Libeskind MVRDV Morphosis Richard Meier & Partners Jean Nouvel John Pawson Renzo Piano Coop Himmelb(l)au Richard Rogers Alvaro Siza Bernard Tschumi Tod Williams Billie Tsien Peter Zumthor Ettore Sottsass Morphosis Ten Arquitectos
