Download or read book Modern Architecture written by Otto Wagner and published by Getty Publications. This book was released on 1988 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1896, Otto Wagner's "Modern Architecture" shocked the European architectural community with its impassioned plea for an end to eclecticism and for a "modern" style suited to contemporary needs and ideals, utilizing the nascent constructional technologies and materials. Through the combined forces of his polemical, pedagogical, and professional efforts, this determined, newly appointed professor at the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts emerged in the late 1890s - along with such contemporaries as Charles Rennie Mackintosh in Glasgow and Louis Sullivan in Chicago - as one of the leaders of the revolution soon to be identified as the "Modern Movement." Wagner's historic manifesto is now presented in a new English translation - the first in almost ninety years - based on the expanded 1902 text and noting emendations made to the 1896, 1898, and 1914 editions. In his introduction, Dr. Harry Mallgrave examines Wagner's tract against the backdrop of nineteenth-century theory, critically exploring the affinities of Wagner's revolutionary élan with the German eclectic debate of the 1840s, the materialistic tendencies of the 1870s and 1880s, and the emerging cultural ideology of modernity. Modern Architecture is one of those rare works in the literature of architecture that not only proclaimed the dawning of a new era, but also perspicaciously and cogently shaped the issues and the course of its development; it defined less the personal aspirations of one individual and more the collective hopes and dreams of a generation facing the sanguine promise of a new century

Download or read book Building the Modern World written by Michael H. Hodges and published by Wayne State University Press. This book was released on 2018-04-16 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A photographically rich biography of protean architect Albert Kahn. Building the Modern World: Albert Kahn in Detroit by Michael H. Hodges tells the story of the German-Jewish immigrant who rose from poverty to become one of the most influential architects of the twentieth century. Kahn’s buildings not only define downtown Detroit, but his early car factories for Packard Motor and Ford revolutionized the course of industry and architecture alike. Employing archival sources unavailable to previous biographers, Building the Modern World follows Kahn from his apprenticeship at age thirteen with a prominent Detroit architecture firm to his death. With material gleaned from two significant Kahn archives—the University of Michigan’s Bentley Historical Library and the Archives of American Art at the Smithsonian Institution—Hodges paints the most complete picture yet of Kahn’s remarkable rise. Special emphasis is devoted to his influence on architectural modernists, his relationship with Henry Ford, his intervention to save the Diego Rivera murals at the Detroit Institute of Arts (unreported until now), and his work laying down the industrial backbone for the Soviet Union in 1929–31 as consulting architect for the first Five Year Plan. Kahn’s ascent from poverty, his outsized influence on both industry and architecture, and his proximity to epochal world events make his life story a tableau of America’s rise to power. Historic photographs as well as striking contemporary shots of Kahn buildings enliven and inform the text. Anyone interested in architecture, architectural history, or the history of Detroit will relish this stunning work.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Architectural Record: June, 1899 It is, therefore, withpleasure that one takes up the consideration of the work Of Bruce Price, for this architect seems from his work to have an equal regard for the refinements Of a Greek order, for the logical sincerity Of Gothic design, and for the picturesque dash of the French Renaissance. One might wish that from this eclec tic spirit Of his some particular.sty1e of his own should materialize and should from that time on control and find employment for all his energies, but until that time comes, it is Of the greatest interest to see the sincere way in which different, and what appears to the hasty Observer, hostile elements, are made to combine in his work to produce an unmistakablyagreeable result. The standard which musths set up for the work Of a hurried and busy New York archi teet is not that which would be applied to a purist of the time of Bra'mante. There has been no thoroughly good work done since Mr. Price became a conscious member of the world of fine art workmen, and there are no traces of thoroughly good work in the country of which he has been a citizen. Thoroughly good work is not in our way. We are not after the best, or even the very good, but that which may be called the second best or the endurable'is that to which we devote our time and strength. Speaking always from the point of View of the artist! If it is the convenient modern building with every sort of recently discovered appliance and re cently patented device that is under consideration, then, indeed, the standard is altogether different. The object of these studies is to apply the artistic standard to these modern buildings, and to seek some trace of older and happier inspiration in their comparative inevitable dullness. If, then, the standard is to be lowered in order that these modern buildings may be treated seriously at all, let it be understood that in the case of the architect whose work is now before us, this 10wering Of the standard is felt to be much less con siderable than in most possible cases of the same sort. Something Of the old spirit there is in the work which we have to consider, and it is possible to invite the reader's attention to designs which, if our illustrations could adequately set them Off, would entertain them vastlv more and in a vastly higher sense than could the work of most of Mr. Price's contemporaries.
