Sedad Hakki Eldem. An aristocratic architect and more
Il volume è dedicato all’opera teorica e costruita di Sedad Hakkı Eldem. Nell’ambito di un filone di ricerca sul Mediterraneo e sulla sua capacità di unire i principi di insediamento, il libro si focalizza sulla capacità dell’antico di produrre progetto, applicata alla vicenda di Sedad Hakkı Eldem, figura centrale dell’architettura turca del Novecento e colui che più di tutti ha cercato con il suo lavoro di dare all’architettura moderna turca un carattere vernacolare. Il libro studia l’opera dell’architetto turco attraverso i temi chiave della costruzione della città, come l’analisi dei monumenti e delle case, e affronta inoltre il tema del viaggio, del lascito di Eldem alla città di Istanbul e del suo rapporto con la casa turco-ottomana letta come riferimento primario per la moderna architettura turca.
Mid-Century Modernism in Turkey
Mid-Century Modernism in Turkey studies the unfolding of modern architecture in Turkey during the 1950s and 1960s. The book brings together scholars who have carried out extensive research on post-WWII modernism in a global context. The authors situate Turkish architectural case studies within an international framework during this period, providing a close reading of how architectural culture responded to ubiquitous post-war ideas and ideals, and how it became intertwined with politics of modernization and urbanization. This book contributes to contemporary scholarship to reconsider post-war architecture, beyond canonical explanations.
Modernism and the Middle East
This provocative collection of essays is the first book-length treatment of the development of modern architecture in the Middle East. Ranging from Jerusalem at the turn of the twentieth century to Libya under Italian colonial rule, postwar Turkey, and on to present-day Iraq, the essays cohere around the historical encounter between the politics of nation-building and architectural modernism's new materials, methods, and motives. Architecture, as physical infrastructure and as symbolic expression, provides an exceptional window onto the powerful forces that shaped the modern Middle East and that continue to dominate it today. Experts in this volume demonstrate the political dimensions of both creating the built environment and, subsequently, inhabiting it. In revealing the tensions between achieving both international relevance and regional meaning, Modernism in the Middle East affords a dynamic view of the ongoing confrontations of deep traditions with rapid modernization. Political and cultural historians, as well as architects and urban planners, will find fresh material here on a range of diverse practices.
Modern Architecture and the Mediterranean
Bringing to light the debt twentieth-century modernist architects owe to the vernacular building traditions of the Mediterranean region, this book considers architectural practice and discourse from the 1920s to the 1980s. The essays here situate Mediterranean modernism in relation to concepts such as regionalism, nationalism, internationalism, critical regionalism, and postmodernism - an alternative history of the modern architecture and urbanism of a critical period in the twentieth century.
Modernism and Nation Building
