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.

Architect and educator Dirk Denison reflects on the diverse influences that have shaped his practice over 30 years in a volume featuring 10 remarkable houses designed in a broad range of modernist vocabularies each finely tuned to its site and occupants.Taking the form of an in-depth conversation between architect and educator Dirk Denison and journalist Fred A. Bernstein, this volume chronicles Denisons childhood in Detroit, travels and early encounters with the arts and architecture, and his education at the Cranbrook Academy of Art, the Illinois Institute of Technology, and the Harvard Graduate School of Design.

Este libro reúne los principales escritos en los que Walter Gropius expresó sus ideas y motivaciones antes de su emigración a Inglaterra en 1934. Su lectura ofrece hoy visiones diferenciadas de su obra, pero tambien de la arquitectura moderna en general.Por sorprendente que pueda parecer, Gropius es en la actualidad, y en el ambito cultural de habla hispana, una figura tan paradigmatica como poco conocida, al menos en lo tocante a sus presupuestos teoricos e ideologicos. Hasta la fecha, muy pocos de sus textos se habian traducido al español casi siempre los mismos y casi siempre en versiones parciales, lo cual genero ideas equivocadas con respecto a su ideario y a su bagaje intelectual.Esta lectura parcial provoco obstinados malentendidos, cuando no interpretaciones interesadamente equivocas, y en todo ello se basaron tanto la admiracion incondicional como el rechazo ciego.Valgan como ejemplo las variadas reacciones que suscito su presunta radicalidad 'racionalista', una condicion univoca que el mismo siempre desmintio desde sus convicciones vitalistas. Lo mismo vale para su 'internacionalismo' programatico, pues, lejos de propugnar un universalismo transnacional, en sus escritos Gropius incluyo siempre la cualidad nacional de la nuev

Tan práctico como visionario, tan arquitecto como constructor, Otto Wagner abrió una nueva era en el arte de la edificación. Nacido en Viena, el proyectista no pasó inadvertido: pionero en el uso de materiales como vidrio, acero y aluminio, experimento sin pausa con formas que redefinirian la identidad estructural vienesa y la arquitectura urbana.Otto Wagner (1841-1918) es una de las figuras mas influyentes de la arquitectura del cambio de siglo. Formo parte de la Secesion Vienesa, el grupo de artistas y diseñadores liderado por Gustav Klimt que se opuso al estilo conservador que dominaba la Kunstlerhaus Wien, la Academia de Bellas Artes de Viena. El enfoque visionario de Wagner, descrito como racionalismo estructural, fue pionero en el uso de materiales como el vidrio, el acero y, especialmente, el aluminio, y redefinio la identidad estructural vienesa.Desde la imponente edificio de la Caja Postal de Ahorros austriaca hasta la esplendida San Leopoldo en Steinhof, una de las iglesias mas importantes del art nouveau en el mundo, descubra la amplitud de la obra de Wagner, asi como la realidad politica, economica y social de su epoca. Esta detallada panoramica incluye un mapa que situa sus proyectos mas destacados ademas de fotografias recientes de maestros como Keiichi Tahara.Sobre la serieCada libro de la Basic Architecture Series de TASCHEN incluye:ensayos introductorios que exploran la procedencia, vida y obra del arquitecto;las obras mas importantes por orden cronologico;informacion sobre los clientes, los requisitos arquitectonicos y los problemas y soluciones surgidos durante la puesta en practica de los proyectos;una lista de obras selectas y un mapa con el emplazamiento de las edificaciones mas conocidas y destacadas;aproximadamente 120 imagenes, entre las que se incluyen fotografias, bocetos, dibujos y planos de planta.

An architecture book for all those excited by contemporary, innovative building design and development Richly illustrated with a broad spectrum of architectural photography, drawings, and sketches A look behind the scenes with one of the world's leading architects In many regards, architecture of the 21st century has to fit a square peg into a round hole. It should be energetic and meaningful and yet be as sustainable as possible in all details. It should offer ample and proportioned space for its inhabitants, but also fit harmoniously into its environment. Architect Jean-Francois Koenig has been meeting these requirements for four decades. With the goal of improving the life quality of the inhabitants and users of his buildings, he sets out elaborate aesthetic designs that also include infrastructure and transport connections. The projects in Jean-Francois Koenig's portfolio—including offices, private houses, hotels, public buildings, and schools—reflect his enhancement and integration of the many facets of urban life. When he won the third prize in a RIBA (Royal Institute of British Architects) competition in 1979, with Norman Foster as judge, Koenig was the only architecture student among the winners. Even at that stage, his sketch for a pedestrian link between Trafalgar Square and Leicester Square demonstrated his sense for the city environment, not to mention his outstanding graphic talent. One of Koenig's many esteemed projects is the Commercial Bank on the island of Mauritius, Koenig's native home, where he continues to reside. JEAN-FRANCOIS KOENIG was elected one of the "100 Architects 2012," a competition organized by the Interna­tional Union of Architects (UIA) and the Korean Institute of Architects (KIA). In the 1980s, he worked with the RIBA Gold Medal Award architect, Sir Philip Dowson. At the 2011 UIA World Congress in Tokyo, under the heading "Sustainable by Design 2050," his Mauritius Commercial Bank was amongst the best of the archi­tecture of Africa. Koenig has worked in England, South Africa, India, Madagascar, the Seychelles, La Réunion, and Mauritius for the last 30 years.

Desde que se autoproclamara miembro del grupo de los Cinco de Nueva York, Richard Meier ha ido encadenando importantes encargos hasta convertirse en figura clave de la arquitectura contemporánea. De Madison Square Garden a Shenzhen, en China, su modernidad elegante, su uso de la luz y del blanco como herramientas poderosas han originado algunos de los edificios mas notables y caracteristicos de los siglos XX y XXI.La lista de proyectos de Meier es tan variada como ilustre. Ha trabajado con tesoros romanos (Museo dell'Ara Pacis), centros turisticos en la costa (Jesolo Lido Village), instituciones publicas (Ayuntamiento de San Jose) y clientes privados de los Hamptons. La impronta de Meier se percibe en todas sus obras, con planos minuciosamente reticulados y su preferencia por las grandes superficies de color blanco y cristal. Los edificios irradian luz a la vez que son templos de transparencia y funcionalidad por dentro.Esta obra sobre la figura de Richard Meier ofrece una retrospectiva de la carrera del arquitecto y explora su transformacion en arquitecto de culto. El libro, con abundantes imagenes, repasa sus proyectos mas conocidos, como el Centro Getty de Los Angeles, asi como sus obras mas recientes, como la OCT Shenzhen Clubhouse de Shenzhen, en China, y el Museo de la Coleccion Burda de Baden-Baden, en Alemania.
