Book Synopsis Charles Rennie Mackintosh and Co., 1854 to 2004 by : David Stark
Download or read book Charles Rennie Mackintosh and Co., 1854 to 2004 written by David Stark and published by Stenlake Publishing. This book was released on 2004 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charles Rennie Mackintosh was the third partner of John Honeyman and Keppie, the architectural practice now called Keppie Design which celebrated its 150th anniversary in 2004. Keppie's current managing director, David Stark, explores the development of the practice and its legacy of buildings across the West of Scotland and beyond, including the influential Mackintosh years. But this isn't just another dry book about buildings. It's also a tale of Victorian industrialists and their wealth and lifestyles; Kate Cranston and her famous tea rooms; and of other lesser-known architectural names such as John Keppie and Graham Henderson. From the white heat of Victorian economic activity and the resultant boom in the building of churches, charitable institutions and country villas, the story moves through more difficult years for the profession with a candour not often found in company histories. It is brought up to date with an examination of current trends and recent projects at a time when architecture is once again flourishing.
Book Synopsis Jugendstil Women and the Making of Modern Design by : Sabine Wieber
Download or read book Jugendstil Women and the Making of Modern Design written by Sabine Wieber and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2021-10-21 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jugendstil, that is Germany's distinct engagement with the international Art Nouveau movement, is now firmly engrained in histories of modern art, architecture and design. Recent exhibitions and publications across the world explored Jugendstil's key protagonists and artistic centres to firmly anchor their activities within the trajectories of German modernism. Women, however, continue to be largely absent from these revisionist accounts. Jugendstil Women and the Making of Modern Design argues that women in fact actively participated in the cultural and socio-economic exchanges that generated German design responses to European modernity. By drawing on previously unpublished archival material and a series of original case studies including Elsa Bruckmann's Munich salon, the Photo Studio Elvira and the Debschitz School, the book explores women's important contributions to modern German culture as collectors, consumers, critics, designers, educators, and patrons. This book offers a new interpretation of this vibrant period by considering diverse manifestations of historical female agency that pushed against historically entrenched conventions and gender roles. The book's rigorous approach reshapes Jugendstil historiography by positing women's lived experiences against dominant ideologies that emerged at this precise moment. In short, the book advocates women as an integral part of the emergence, dissemination and reception of Jugendstil and questions the deeply gendered histories of this key period in modern art, architecture and design.

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

Download or read book World Expos written by Isaac López César and published by Architect Publications. This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a fascinating journey along the history of architectural structures over the last 150 years, taking the World Expos as an original unifying thread. Nevertheless, it does not solely focus on the exhibition buildings; on the contrary, these are continuously being related to buildings beyond the scope of the Expos, thus ultimately providing a general vision of the history of modern structures. This essay is destined to become an essential work of reference within the history of architectural structures. It is generously illustrated with more than nine hundred large-scale illustrations, many of which have not appeared in contemporary publications. It offers innumerable facts that will interest architects, engineers or art historians. Likewise, members of the general public far-removed from these fields will also be able to enjoy many of the passages which are accessible to those who do not have any specific knowledge of architecture or engineering.
