Ardeth #12
In the backdrop of the New European Bauhaus, our time presents the European designer with three pivotal keywords: beautiful, sustainable, and together. The central question that this issue of "Ardeth" seeks to address is how to employ these three keywords in the best possible way. In essence, it grapples with the question of how to use but not abuse the checkpoints they provide us with to truly grasp the intricacies of their intended applications. The aim is to prevent hastening the transition from words to designs and, ultimately, from designs to the artefacts that make up the space of our day-to-day human existence.
Architectural Drawings as Investigating Devices
Architectural Drawings as Investigating Devices explores how the changing modes of representation in architecture and urbanism relate to the transformation of how the addressees of architecture and urbanism are conceived. The book diagnoses the dominant epistemological debates in architecture and urbanism during the 20th and 21st centuries. It traces their transformations, paying special attention to Le Corbusier and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe’s preference for perspective representation, to the diagrams of Team 10 architects, to the critiques of functionalism, and the upgrade of the artefactual value of architectural drawings in Aldo Rossi, John Hejduk, Peter Eisenman, and Oswald Mathias Ung...
MoMoWo. Women designers, craftswomen, architects and engineers between 1918 and 1945
Knjiga vsebuje šest poglavij, ki z različnih vidikov predstavljajo dosežke evropskih ustvarjalk – pionirk na področju arhitekture, gradbeništva, notranjega in industrijskega oblikovanja ter umetne obrti, ki so ustvarjale v obdobju od 1918 do 1945. Poglavje Crossing Geographies obravnava pomen migrantk in migracij za globalno širjenje modernizma in pojava avantgardnih umetnostnih gibanj; Pioneers and Organisations predstavlja nekatere pionirke in njihovo vključevanje v stanovske organizacije; The Home govori o položaju žensk med obema vojnama in načinih, kako so skušale preseči družbene omejitve preko notranjega oblikovanja; Representation je posvečen zastopanosti in obravnavi...
Region
This book explores how the concept of ‘region’ has evolved over time and shaped architectural culture and practice. It questions what the words ‘region’ and ‘regional’ mean for architecture, cities and landscapes past and present, and speculates on the forms they might take in the future. Region is explored in many thematic guises: as a real geographical site of evolving socio-economic activity; as a mythical locus of enduring value; as a gatekeeper of indigenous crafts and vernacular techniques; as a site of architectural and artistic imagination; as a repository of contested, conflicted and mobile identities. The contributing chapters take these themes from the theoretical and ...
Drawing and Experiencing Architecture
How were the concepts of the observer and user in architecture and urban planning transformed throughout the 20th and 21st centuries? Marianna Charitonidou explores how the mutations of the means of representation in architecture and urban planning relate to the significance of city's inhabitants. She investigates Le Corbusier and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe's fascination with perspective, Team Ten's interest in the humanisation of architecture and urbanism, Constantinos Doxiadis and Adriano Olivetti's role in reshaping the relationship between politics and urban planning during the postwar years, Giancarlo De Carlo's architecture of participation, Aldo Rossi's design methods, Denise Scott Brown's active socioplactics and Bernard Tschumi's conception praxis.
Viaggi e viste
Questo tema ha riguardato a lungo il lavoro dell’architetto, nell’impatto delle conoscenze empiriche rispetto a quelle teoriche, acquisite attraverso il viaggio, nella riflessione e nella pratica dell’architettura. L’attenzione è centrata sul Mediterraneo – un’area dai contorni imprecisabili e variamente stratificata per storia, cultura, interpretazione – e sulle impressioni dirette che architetti e urbanisti, storici dell’architettura e letterati hanno percepito della cultura e architettura vernacolare dei luoghi visitati, e su come tali impressioni abbiano offerto opportunità creative, nonché nuovi punti di vista da cui osservare processi e manifestazioni dell’architettura. Il libro propone una duplice struttura di indagine: da un lato, il paradigma del Mediterraneo e le sue implicazioni metodologico-concettuali; dall’altro, le sue molteplici applicazioni nei confronti dell’evoluzione del progetto moderno attento al luogo e alle implicazioni contestuali.
Ernesto Nathan Rogers
"Architect Ernesto Nathan Rogers (1909-1969) was a towering figure in twentieth-century Italian architecture. Through the work of his collaborative firm (Banfi Belgiojoso Peressutti Rogers, or BBPR), who were responsible for many of the most influential Italian projects of the time, and through the editorship of publications such as Domus and Casabella, Rogers ensured a lasting influence on the field. However his contributions have been largely neglected by scholarship, or more recently have had only superficial understandings attached to them. Published as part of the Bloomsbury Studies in Modern Architecture series, which brings to light the work of significant yet overlooked modernist arc...
RaumKleider
Kleider sind Lebensentwürfe, ebenso wie Bauten und Architekturen. Reform, Modernität, Sachlichkeit und Regionalität veranschaulichen sich in Kleidung wie in architektonischen Formen. Architekten und Designer des 20. Jahrhunderts haben nicht allein über die Zusammenhänge von Architektur und Bekleidung geschrieben, sondern auch eigene Kleiderentwürfe angefertigt. Die Beiträge, in deren Zentrum neben Architektur und Mode auch Interieur und Film stehen, gehen den Wechselbeziehungen zwischen Architekturentwürfen und korrespondierenden Menschenbildern nach.
L’architettura di Milano
Milano, nel corso degli ultimi settant’anni, è stata capace di costruirsi una propria identità: identità moderna, ma anche identità di città storicamente (oltreché geograficamente) italiana. Ed è proprio in quanto esemplare pressoché unico di una compiuta “modernità italiana” che Milano è riuscita a rimanere al passo e a istituire un proficuo dialogo con molte altre realtà europee e internazionali. Lo ha spesso fatto guidata da quei principi più pragmatici che estetici che ne hanno connotato la cifra stilistica. Come in un museo a cielo aperto, le vie cittadine offrono un eccellente campionario di architettura moderna e contemporanea, firmata dai nomi di celebri architetti italiani e stranieri: BBPR, Caccia Dominioni, Gardella, Rossi, Zucchi, Herzog &
