Book Synopsis GROWING UP MODERN by : Julia Jamrozik
Download or read book GROWING UP MODERN written by Julia Jamrozik and published by Birkhäuser. This book was released on 2021-03-08 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What was it like to grow up in a Modernist residence? Did these radical environments shape the way that children looked at architecture later in life? The oral history in this book paint a uniquely intimate portrait of Modernism. The authors conducted interviews with people, who spent their childhood in radical Modernist domestic spaces, uncovering both serene and poignant memories. The recollections range from the ambivalence of philosopher Ernst Tugendhat, now 90 years old, who lived in the famous Mies van der Rohe house in Brno (1930) to the fond reminiscing of the youngest daughter of the Schminke family, who still dreams of her Scharoun-designed ship-like villa in Löbau (1933). The book offers a unique, private and often refreshing perspective on these icons of the avant-garde.
Book Synopsis Werner Hegemann And The Search For Universal Urbanism by : Craseman Christine Collins
Download or read book Werner Hegemann And The Search For Universal Urbanism written by Craseman Christine Collins and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2005-04-26 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Werner Hegemann (1881-1936), a German-born multidisciplinary critic of the built environment, was well known in Europe and the United States in his lifetime. A critic rather than a designer, he did not fit easily into any school or category. To those seeking to promote modernism, Hegemann was something of an awkward figure - influential and undoubtedly authoritative but unorthodox. Today, however, when studies of modernism have largely shed their proselytizing role, he is of great relevance. Our interest now is less in those who proposed the answers than in those who asked the questions - and particularly the way in which those questions were framed. For this Hegemann is a key figure." "Based on documentation largely unavailable in English - including Hegemann's published and unpublished writings, his correspondence, his diaries, the author's interviews, archival materials lent to her by Hegemann's widow, and the author's own substantial collection - this is the first comprehensive study of Hegemann for historians, architects, and urbanists."--BOOK JACKET.

Book Synopsis Paradise Planned by : Robert A.M. Stern
Download or read book Paradise Planned written by Robert A.M. Stern and published by The Monacelli Press, LLC. This book was released on 2013-12-03 with total page 1073 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paradise Planned is the definitive history of the development of the garden suburb, a phenomenon that originated in England in the late eighteenth century, was quickly adopted in the United State and northern Europe, and gradually proliferated throughout the world. These bucolic settings offered an ideal lifestyle typically outside the city but accessible by streetcar, train, and automobile. Today, the principles of the garden city movement are once again in play, as retrofitting the suburbs has become a central issue in planning. Strategies are emerging that reflect the goals of garden suburbs in creating metropolitan communities that embrace both the intensity of the city and the tranquility of nature. Paradise Planned is the comprehensive, encyclopedic record of this movement, a vital contribution to architectural and planning history and an essential recourse for guiding the repair of the American townscape.
Book Synopsis Modern Architecture by : Frank Lloyd Wright
Download or read book Modern Architecture written by Frank Lloyd Wright and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2021-07-13 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern Architecture is a landmark text--the first book in which America's greatest architect put forth the principles of a fundamentally new, organic architecture that would reject the trappings of historical styles while avoiding the geometric abstraction of the machine aesthetic advocated by contemporary European modernists. One of the most important documents in the development of modern architecture and the career of Frank Lloyd Wright, Modern Architecture is a provocative and profound polemic against America's architectural eclecticism, commercial skyscrapers, and misguided urban planning. The book is also a work of savvy self-promotion, in which Wright not only advanced his own concept of an organic architecture but also framed it as having anticipated by decades--and bettered--what he saw as the reductive modernism of his European counterparts. Based on the 1931 original, for which Wright supplied the cover illustration, this beautiful edition includes a new introduction that puts Modern Architecture in its broader architectural, historical, and intellectual context for the first time. The subjects of these lively lectures--from "Machinery, Materials and Men" to "The Tyranny of the Skyscraper" and "The City"--move from a general statement of the conditions of modern culture to particular applications in the fields of architecture and urbanism at ever broadening scales. Wright's vision in Modern Architecture is ultimately to equate the truly modern with romanticism, imagination, beauty, and nature--all of which he connects with an underlying sense of American democratic freedom and individualism.
