Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While most studies on the history of architectural theory have been concerned with what has been said and written, this book is concerned with how architecture theory has been created and transmitted. Architecture Thinking across Boundaries looks at architectural theory through the lens of intellectual history. Eleven original essays explore a variety of themes and contexts, each examining how architectural knowledge has been transferred across social, spatial and disciplinary boundaries - whether through the international circulation of ideas, transdisciplinary exchanges, or transfers from design practice to theory and back again. Dissecting the frictions, transformations and resistances that mark these journeys, the essays in this book reflect upon the myriad routes that architectural knowledge has taken while developing into architectural theory. They critically enquire the interstices – geographical, temporal and epistemological – that lie beyond fixed narratives. They show how unstable, vital and eminently mobile the processes of thinking about architecture have been.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El libro "Arquitectura y crítica en Latinoamérica" rastrea, a grandes rasgos, las líneas de pensamiento de la crítica de arquitectura en el contexto latinoamericano, centrándose en algunos de los autores y autoras más representativos y comprobando como se empieza legitimando el surgimiento de la arquitectura moderna en cada país, en relación a las propuestas europeas y norteamericanas y, más tarde, cómo se consolidan unas propias construcciones de la historia y de las posiciones teóricas; y cómo, tras la recepción de la arquitectura moderna, se realiza su evolución y superación. El texto, totalmente nuevo e inédito, constituye una continuación del libro Arquitectura y crítica, publicado en la editorial Gustavo Gili, cubriendo un vacío y una deuda por el altísimo valor de la crítica en Latinoamérica. El libro se complementa con una novedad pensada para hacerlo más útil y didáctico: el comentario de los 21 libros considerados más significativos.

Download or read book Modern Architecture in Latin America written by Luis E. Carranza and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2015-01-05 with total page 425 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Designed as a survey and focused on key examples and movements arranged chronologically from 1903 to 2003, this is the first comprehensive history of modern architecture in Latin America in any language. Runner-up, University Co-op Robert W. Hamilton Book Award, 2015 Modern Architecture in Latin America: Art, Technology, and Utopia is an introductory text on the issues, polemics, and works that represent the complex processes of political, economic, and cultural modernization in the twentieth century. The number and types of projects varied greatly from country to country, but, as a whole, the region produced a significant body of architecture that has never before been presented in a single volume in any language. Modern Architecture in Latin America is the first comprehensive history of this important production. Designed as a survey and focused on key examples/paradigms arranged chronologically from 1903 to 2003, this volume covers a myriad of countries; historical, social, and political conditions; and projects/developments that range from small houses to urban plans to architectural movements. The book is structured so that it can be read in a variety of ways—as a historically developed narrative of modern architecture in Latin America, as a country-specific chronology, or as a treatment of traditions centered on issues of art, technology, or utopia. This structure allows readers to see the development of multiple and parallel branches/historical strands of architecture and, at times, their interconnections across countries. The authors provide a critical evaluation of the movements presented in relationship to their overall goals and architectural transformations.

This book was released on 2022-02-07 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Este libro, más allá de la reflexión sobre los temas tratados en el evento que se realizó entre el 14 y el 16 de noviembre de 2018, revela preocupaciones colectivas acerca del manejo del territorio, la ciudad y la arquitectura contemporánea en diferentes escalas que interactúan entre sí, lo que vuelve complejo entretejer los elementos de la discusión en donde el conocimiento de lo local en cada uno de los contextos del continente es indispensable para comprender la diversidad y heterogeneidad que nos caracteriza. Los temas del territorio a la arquitectura han sido los grandes capítulos que tuvieron como hilo conductor tres valores universales que nos identifican como colectivo social: la identidad que ha sido discutida desde que se creó el SAL hace 36 años, y al momento continúa elaborando pensamiento latinoamericano sobre quiénes somos y cómo se expresa ese pensamiento en la arquitectura. La solidaridad, es otro valor que ha permitido la perviviencia de las comunidades locales, mediada casi siempre por la negociación y los acuerdos colectivos, matizados a menudo en la práctica. Finalmente, la austeridad ha sido un principio que se resume en la posibilidad de resolución de problemas con pocos recursos. En este sentido, la ciudad y la arquitectura es el espacio en el que se hacen visibles éstos valores con matices particulares en Latinoamérica y en donde tenemos el compromiso de seguir trabajando como academia y colectividad.

Download or read book Total Latin American Architecture written by Ana de Brea and published by Actar D, Inc.. This book was released on 2016-09-01 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A selected, fully open, and deep assemblage, that carries the explicit intent of outlining, conceptual and practical verifications, on critical views and specific projects, concerning the actual architecture in the Latin American territory. The book intends to communicate a targeted objective, to circumscribe a segment, a series of observations and actions in architecture. However, it is a selected, fully open, and deep fragment, outlining conceptual and practical verifications on critical views and concrete projects, concerning the actual, extensive world of architecture in the Latin American territory, and in the first years of the new century. It is a sequence of topical segments organized as an unsystematic series and through a number of different projects in each case: the single family house; searches on bigger scales; poetical structures; topics under consideration; a look over laboratories; terrain, landscape and topography; covering folk factors; and the volumetric reasoning and physical features. A selected and deep assemblage of the current architecture in the Latin American territory.
