Libros de Arquitectos extranjeros, página 8 de 36

El ornamento ha sido un concepto tabú del Movimiento Moderno, denigrado y abolido fríamente a lo largo del siglo XX, aunque maestros modernos trabajaron con elementos arquitectónicos que sin ser decorativos ejercían una función estética análoga. Hoy, una profunda reflexión sobre el importante papel de lo ornamental en arquitectura es absolutamente necesaria. Considérese Ornamento Journal como un manual de referencias, un catalizador de ideas o de diseño, un catálogo de objetos cargados de pensamiento que sin duda incitan la creatividad o a la reflexión. En este número 2 repasamos algunas obras de Alvar Aalto, en las que se manifiesta su extraordinaria sensibilidad hacia la escala más humana de la arquitectura.

Una ciudad natal dedicada enteramente a la manufactura de relojes, una infancia marcada por la sombra del hermano mayor, el encuentro crucial con su profesor de dibujo y más tarde con los hermanos Perret, la transformacion en "arquitecto-consultor para todo lo relativo a la decoracion", la amistad con Ozenfant y la fundacion de una revista, la conquista de Paris, los libros, Josephine Baker, la II Guerra Mundial, la relacion con su madre, Nueva York, la India.Jean-Louis Cohen nos brinda en estas paginas una sorprendente biografia ilustrada que recompone el complejo rompecabezas emocional, vivencial e intelectual de Le Corbusier a traves de un mosaico poliedrico de breves episodios vitales. Un viaje en el que acompañamos al arquitecto franco-suizo a lo largo de su vida, y en el que los testimonios fotograficos -muchos de ellos ineditos hasta la fecha- y sus propias palabras -de euforia, de duda, de desilusion- adquieren tanto protagonismo como la incisiva mirada de Cohen.

The Serbian Bogdan Bogdanovic (1922-2010)architect, urbanist, polymath, writer and former mayor of Belgrade - created some of the most distinctive memorials in Europe. In particular his Flower of Stone, in Jasenovac (Croatia) and the Dudik Memorial Park in Vukovar (Croatia,1980) gained international attention. Spread across the territories of former Yugoslavia, Bogdanovic's monuments, memorial sites and necropolises (cemeteries) symbolise both the cultural diversity and the tragic history of the Balkans; they all reflect his philosophy which is one of inclusion, the unity of human experience arising from conflict and shared trauma. Friedrich Achtleitner, poet and architectural critic, has visited all memorials, with Bogdanovic and alone. In A Flower for the Dead, he presents what he has seen during his travels in essays and emotive images.

BOGDANOVIC BY BOGDANOVIC: YUGOSLAV MEMORIALS THROUGH THE EYES OF THEIR ARCHITECT

Victor Horta (18611947) is well known as the creator of Art Nouveau architecture. Following the design of the Hotel Tassel, Brussels, in 1893, Horta produced more than 40 buildings during the following decade. This new book discusses the many influences on his designs, and his legacy. Detailed descriptions of 19 projects, including Edicule Lambeaux, Hotel Autrique, Hotel Max Hallet and the Brugmann Hospital, are illustrated with Hortas original drawings and specially commissioned photographs by award-winning architectural photographer Alastair Carew-Cox. Included in this book are extensive photographs of Hotel Solvay, one of Hortas most important works; access to photographers had been denied for 20 years, but special access was granted to Alastair Carew-Cox in the summer of 2016 in recognition of his and Professor David Dernies significant contribution to the study of Horta.Victor Horta: The Architect of Art Nouveau has been prepared in close collaboration with the Horta Museum, Brussels, ensuring that it is both accurate and up to date. It will appeal to anyone interested in Art Nouveau, one of the great aesthetic movements of the early 20th century. Its richly ornamental style of fluid lines based on natural forms expressed a desire to abandon the historical styles of the 19th century and to develop a language that was beautifully crafted and thoroughly contemporary, laying the foundations for the development of modernism in architecture and interior design.

The work of Vladimír Dedecek (born 1929) is considered as a prime example of an independent socialist version of the Modern style. His main commissions were prestigious buildings designed and built between the 1960s and 1980s. The most important of these are still being used as originally intended. The monograph consists of three parts it explains the method of research and the concept of the book; it analyzes and interprets four buildings as examples: the Boarding School in Modra (19721978), the Slovak National Archive (19721983), the Supreme Court (19771990), and the Slovak National Gallery (19671979) and informs about another thirteen key buildings forming the basis of possible interpretations and is followed by the list of works, the bibliography, and the biographical details.

The first major study of one of the most important architects of the postwar era.Equally admired and maligned for his remarkable Brutalist buildings, Paul Rudolph (19181997) shaped both late modernist architecture and a generation of architects while chairing Yales department of architecture from 1958 to 1965. Based on extensive archival research and unpublished materials, The ArchitectureofPaul Rudolph is the first in-depth study of the architect, neglected since his postwar zenith.Author Timothy M. Rohan unearths the ideas that informed Rudolphs architecture, from his Florida beach houses of the 1940s to his concrete buildings of the 1960s to his lesser-known East Asian skyscrapers of the 1990s. Situating Rudolph within the architectural discourse of his day, Rohan shows how Rudolph countered the perceived monotony of mid-century modernism with a dramatically expressive architecture for postwar America, exemplified by his Yale Art and Architecture Building of 1963, famously clad in corrugated concrete. The fascinating story of Rudolphs spectacular rise and fall considerably deepens longstanding conceptions about postwar architecture: Rudolph emerges as a pivotal figure who anticipated new directions for architecture, ranging from postmodernism to sustainability.
