Download or read book Ernő Goldfinger written by Elain Harwood and published by Liverpool University Press. This book was released on 2024-05-15 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ernö Goldfinger (1902-1987) is noted for his pre-war Hampstead house, preserved with all its contents by the National Trust, and for his high-rise housing of the late 1960s. These buildings bookend a long and varied career as a modernist who thought deeply about domestic space, cities and the constructional discipline of architecture. Inspired by his teacher Auguste Perret, he carried the spirit of 1920s Paris to enliven the English architectural scene. Goldfinger offered imaginative alternatives to standard solutions for post-war schools, housing and offices, and excelled at the composition of clusters of free-standing buildings as well as fitting neatly into existing streets. An unexpected aspect of his work was the collaboration with Paul and Marjorie Abbatt, founders of Britain’s first modernist toy business. Based on thorough research in Goldfinger’s extensive archive and close knowledge of the full range of his projects, this book provides an accessible and generously illustrated account of a fascinating figure. A unique collaboration by two of Britain’s leading architectural historians of the twentieth century, Elain Harwood and Alan Powers have campaigned for the preservation of Goldfinger’s work for over thirty years.
Book Synopsis The Inhabited Pathway by : Sebastiano Brandolini
Download or read book The Inhabited Pathway written by Sebastiano Brandolini and published by Park Publishing (WI). This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alberto Ponis was born in Genoa in 1933 and studied at Florence University, where he qualified as an architect in 1960. He worked in London with Erno Goldfinger and Denys Lasdun in 1960 64 under the strong and lasting influence also of the movements of Modernism and New Brutalism then prevailing in the theoretical discourse in British architecture. His own studio Ponis established in 1964 in Palau, on the Italian island of Sardinia, working since on private, public and urban planning commissions. In 1990 he was awarded the INARCH prize for the Village of "Stazzo Pulcheddu" in Palau. Ponis often refers to the natural conditions and the social history of Sardinia when talking about his work in architecture. Besides of nature and society, he has also extensively studied the "stazzo, " Sardinia s typical rural building type. This thorough knowledge of conditions, traditions and requirements are the foundation of an oeuvre of more than 300 residential buildings. Each of them deeply rooted in its environment and connected with the land and other dwellings by the "sentiero, " the path leading to and from the house. Ponis s houses are meant to be summer homes, their inert warmth reflecting the architect s fundamental optimism. They show a natural modesty and simplicity rather than their owner s wealth or status. They express the architect s great formal skills and sensitivity. They are inconceivable without the Sardinian landscape and history and the island seems to have been expecting just these particular buildings, merging naturally with nature. The new book "Alberto Ponis Sardinia" is the first comprehensive monograph on this highly interesting and original yet little known architect. In five lavishly illustrated sections it documents his biography and early work, his extensive research on Sardinia, eight selected buildings created between 1965 98 that make traceable the evolution of Ponis s work, his philosophy ( Thoughts and Forms ), and a concluding essay on the essence of his architecture.

Book Synopsis The Boy Who Always Looked Up by : Ryan Gander
Download or read book The Boy Who Always Looked Up written by Ryan Gander and published by . This book was released on 2014-06 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Night in the Museum is a new publication from acclaimed British artist Ryan Gander. The book explores the act of viewing, through sculptures, paintings and prints in the Arts Council Collection, the UK's largest loan collection of postwar British art. Pairing each figurative sculpture with a contemporary artwork, Gander sets up an objective relationship between the "viewing" sculpture and the painting or print that they are gazing at, provoking questions about the role of the artist, the artwork and the viewer. Containing brand new work created by Gander especially for the accompanying exhibition, and a text from Ossian Ward, Night in the Museum provides a unique reflection on the role of looking in contemporary art. The work of Ryan Gander (born 1976)ranges from installations, sculptures and photographs to performative lectures, publications, inventions and interventions. Gander examines the conditions of art production and the cognitive process of the perception of art. He has won numerous prestigious prizes, including the Z rich Art Prize (2009), the ABN Amro Art Price (2006), the Baloise Art Statements of the Art Basel (2006) and the Dutch Prix de Rome (2003).

Book Synopsis Peter Moro and Partners by : Alistair Fair
Download or read book Peter Moro and Partners written by Alistair Fair and published by Liverpool University Press. This book was released on 2021-08-15 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Peter Moro is the forgotten co-designer of the Royal Festival Hall. A German émigré who had worked with Berthold Lubetkin’s famed practice, Tecton, in the 1930s, Moro was drafted in to help realise the Festival Hall in just two short years, in time for the Festival of Britain in 1951. With a team of his former students, he created many of the interiors we see today. For Moro, the Festival Hall was a stepping-stone to a career designing many of Britain’s finest post-war theatres, particularly Nottingham Playhouse, Plymouth Theatre Royal, and the renovated Bristol Old Vic. He and his colleagues also designed some exceptional one-off houses, as well as exhibitions, university buildings, schools, and council housing, collaborating with leading talents such as the designer Robin Day. Based on detailed archival research and with stunning new photography, this is the first book devoted to the work of Peter Moro and his colleagues in architectural practice. Ranging from the 1930s to the 1980s, it explores Moro’s belief in a rigorous modern architecture which was both functionally sound and aesthetically rich. It sheds new light on this important body of work, and enriches our understanding of the experience and diversity of modernism in Britain.
