Book Synopsis Giuseppe Terragni by : Peter Eisenman
Download or read book Giuseppe Terragni written by Peter Eisenman and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Forty years in the making, "Giuseppe Terragni: Transformations, Decompositions, Critiques" documents and investigates two of Italian rationalist architect Giuseppe Terragni's masterworks: the Casa del Fascio (1933-36) and the Casa Giuliani-Frigerio (1939-40), both in Como. This far-reaching study -- illustrated with more than five hundred original architectural diagrams and archival photographs -- employs what Eisenman calls critical and textual reading of both buildings. He attempts to broaden the definition of the formal from a narrow aesthetic and compositional view to include first the conceptual and then the textual. It is through this idea of the textual that Eisenman begins to define an idea of the critical in architecture. Eisenman's methodology is wholly removed from traditional approaches -- social, historical, aesthetic, functional. Instead, the various articulations and openings on the facades constitute a set of marks, notations that provide the basis for his analysis. In the Casa del Fascio, for example, each of the four sequential design schemes records the previous state, encoding the process of transformation in the final building. In the Casa Giuliani-Frigerio it is instead the process of decomposition that generates the facades. Also included in the book are an essay by Terragni and a critique by Manfredo Tafuri. In the end, it is the dual protagonists -- the architect and the author -- who together establish a new theoretical and analytical framework.

This monograph covers his later years (he died in 1943), with a focus on the war and his devastating experience as a soldier. It includes some notable projects from the 1930s like the Casa del Fascio in Como, and the designs for an unrealised final project for a cathedral that he did in the days before his death.

This book was released on 2003-09-15 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Peter Eisenman's eagerly awaited magnum opus - forty years in the making documents and investigates two of Italian rationalist architect Giuseppe Terragni's masterworks: the Casa del Fascio and the Casa Giuliani - Frigerio, both in Como, Italy. This far -reaching study illustrated with finely delineated two - color diagrams, archival drawings from Terragni's studio, and period photographs - employs what Eisenman calls critical and textual readings of both buildings. Eisenman describes the articulations and openings on the facades; these notations provide the basis for his analysis. In the Casa del Fascio, the four sequential design schemes each record the previous state, encoding the process of transformation. In the Casa Giuliani - Frigerio, it is instead the process of decomposition that generates the facades. Also included in the book are an essay by Terragni, on the commissioning, design, and construction of the Casa del Fascio, and a critique by Manfredo Tafuri, the renowned Italian architectural historian and theorist.

Book Synopsis Giuseppe Terragni by : Alessandra Coppa
Download or read book Giuseppe Terragni written by Alessandra Coppa and published by Ore Cultura Srl. This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Giuseppe Terragni's training as an architect can be placed in the complex starting point of Italian Rationalism, wavering between the Futurist legacy, the metaphysical language of Valori Plastici, and the Classicism of the Novecento - the complex and entirely Italian pathway to modernity, where the form and the aesthetic of the building are subordinated to its technical and practical features. Terragni loved to spend his nights working on a large table "filled with drawings helter-skelter", a cigarette dangling from his mouth in the company of his cat Demiurgo. His fellow workers described him as being big and tall, carelessly dressed, with "heavy and awkward" hands that, however, were skilled at drawing "a slender sign, a very subtle, vibrant and neat line". Thus was born the Casa del Fascio, the architect's most representative work, a true and proper manifesto of Italian Rationalism - but also the building destined to interpret the spirit of the Fascist regime and to cause a stir. This was followed by his great apartment buildings (the Case Rustici, Giringhelli, Lavezzari, Toninello, Rustici-Comolli): it was the complex theme of the "modern house" that the 5th Triennial held in 1933 had put forward as the subject of architectural discussion. And then there was the great State architecture on the occasion of the major Roman competitions: for the Palazzo del Littorio, the Palazzo dei Ricevimenti e dei Congressi for the E42 (EUR), and for the Danteum, none of which were ever realised.

Book Synopsis The Meaning of Modern Architecture by : Hans Rudolf Morgenthaler
Download or read book The Meaning of Modern Architecture written by Hans Rudolf Morgenthaler and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-09 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using empathy, as established by the Vienna School of Art History, complemented by insights on how the mind processes visual stimuli, as demonstrated by late 19th-century psychologists and art theorists, this book puts forward an innovative interpretative method of decoding the forms and spaces of Modern buildings. This method was first developed as scholars realized that the new abstract art appearing needed to be analysed differently than the previous figurative works. Since architecture experienced a similar development in the 1920s and 30s, this book argues that the empathetic method can also be used in architectural interpretation. While most existing scholarship tends to focus on formal and functional analysis, this book proposes that Modern architecture is too diverse to be reduced to a few common formal or ornamental features. Instead, by relying on the viewer’s innate psycho-physiological perceptive abilities, sensual and intuitive understandings of composition, form, and space are emphasized. These aspects are especially significant because Modern Architecture lacks the traditional stylistic signs. Including building analyses, it shows how, by visually reducing cubical forms and spaces to linear configurations, the exteriors and interiors of Modern buildings can be interpreted via human perceptive abilities as dynamic movement systems commensurate with the new industrial transportation age. This reveals an inner necessity these buildings express about themselves and their culture, rather than just an explanation of how they are assembled and how they should be used. The case studies highlight the contrasts between buildings designed by different architects, rather than concentrating on the few features that relate them to the zeitgeist. It analyses the buildings directly as the objects of study, not indirectly, as designs filtered through a philosophical or theoretical discourse. The book demonstrates that, with technology and science affecting culture

Download or read book Lateness written by Peter Eisenman and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2020-07-07 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A provocative case for historical ambiguity in architecture by one of the field's leading theorists Conceptions of modernity in architecture are often expressed in the idea of the zeitgeist, or "spirit of the age," an attitude toward architectural form that is embedded in a belief in progressive time. Lateness explores how architecture can work against these linear currents in startling and compelling ways. In this incisive book, internationally renowned architect Peter Eisenman, with Elisa Iturbe, proposes a different perspective on form and time in architecture, one that circumvents the temporal constraints on style that require it to be "of the times"—lateness. He focuses on three twentieth-century architects who exhibited the qualities of lateness in their designs: Adolf Loos, Aldo Rossi, and John Hejduk. Drawing on the critical theory of Theodor Adorno and his study of Beethoven's final works, Eisenman shows how the architecture of these canonical figures was temporally out of sync with conventions and expectations, and how lateness can serve as a form of release from the restraints of the moment. Bringing together architecture, music, and philosophy, and drawing on illuminating examples from the Renaissance and Baroque periods, Lateness demonstrates how today's architecture can use the concept of lateness to break free of stylistic limitations, expand architecture's critical capacity, and provide a new mode of analysis.
