Book excerpt: This important contribution to the canon of books on the acclaimed modernist architect Richard Meier showcases Meier's seldom considered and rarely seen work in sculpture, collage, furniture, and personal accessories. It is the catalogue accompanying the exhibition "Richard Meier: The Architect as Designer and Artist" at the High Museum of Art in Atlanta (on view September 19, 2003-April 2004). The exhibition originated at the Museum of Applied Arts, Frankfurt, Germany. Richard Meier is a designer who values the concepts of classical modernism, the Viennese school, De Stijl, Russian Constructivism, and Bauhaus modernism. Meier not only delights in the character and beauty of these movements, but also creatively adapts them to his own ideas. Nowhere is this more in evidence than in the rich assembly of his artistic production and design work seen here.

Download or read book Five Architects written by Museum of Modern Art (New York, N.Y.) and published by New York : Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1975 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Five Architects, originally published in 1975, grew out of a meeting of the CASE group (Conference of Architects for the Study of the Environment) held at the Museum of Modern Art in 1969. The purpose of this gathering was to exhibit and criticize the work of five architects -- Eisenman, Graves, Gwathmey, Hejduk, and Meier -- who constituted a New York school, and who are now among the most influential architects working today.The buildings shown here have more diversity than one might expect from a school, but share certain properties of form, scale, and treatment of material. Collectively, their work makes a modest claim: it is only architecture, not the salvation of man and the redemption of the earth.Providing complete drawings and photographic documentation, this collection also includes a comparative critique by Kenneth Frampton, an Introduction by Colin Rowe that suggests a still broader context for the work as a whole, and two short texts in which individual positions are outlined. Now back in,print, Five Architects serves as a reference to the early work of some of America's most important architects and provides us with a glimpse back at the direction of architecture as they saw it over twenty years ago.

Download or read book European cities written by Noa K. Ha and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2022-06-28 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: European cities: Modernity, race and colonialism is a multidisciplinary collection of scholarly studies which rethink European urban modernity from a race-conscious perspective, being aware of (post-)colonial entanglements. The twelve original contributions empirically focus on such various cities as Barcelona, Buenos Aires, Cottbus, Genoa, Hamburg, Madrid, Mitrovica, Naples, Paris, Sheffield, and Thessaloniki, engaging multiple combinations of global urban studies, from various historical perspectives, with postcolonial, decolonial and critical race studies. Primarily inspired by the notion of Provincializing Europe (Dipesh Chakrabarty) the collection interrogates dominant, Eurocentric theories, representations and models of European cities across the East-West divide, offering the reader alternative perspectives to understand and imagine urban life and politics. With its focus on Europe, this book ultimately contributes to decades of rigorous critical race scholarship on varied global urban regions. European cities is a vital reading for anyone interested in the complex interactions between colonial legacies and constructions of 'modernity', in view of catering to social change and urban justice.
Download or read book The Fractal Dimension of Architecture written by Michael J. Ostwald and published by Birkhäuser. This book was released on 2016-09-01 with total page 429 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fractal analysis is a method for measuring, analysing and comparing the formal or geometric properties of complex objects. In this book it is used to investigate eighty-five buildings that have been designed by some of the twentieth-century’s most respected and celebrated architects. Including designs by Le Corbusier, Eileen Gray, Frank Lloyd Wright, Robert Venturi, Frank Gehry, Peter Eisenman, Richard Meier and Kazuyo Sejima amongst others, this book uses mathematics to analyse arguments and theories about some of the world’s most famous designs. Starting with 625 reconstructed architectural plans and elevations, and including more than 200 specially prepared views of famous buildings, this book presents the results of the largest mathematical study ever undertaken into architectural design and the largest single application of fractal analysis presented in any field. The data derived from this study is used to test three overarching hypotheses about social, stylistic and personal trends in design, along with five celebrated arguments about twentieth-century architecture. Through this process the book offers a unique mathematical insight into the history and theory of design.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an overview of twentieth-century German art, focusing on some of the period's key works. In Peter Chametzky's innovative approach, these works become representatives rather than representations of twentieth-century history. Chametzky draws on both scholarly and popular sources to demonstrate how the works (and in some cases, the artists themselves) interacted with, and even enacted, historical events, processes, and ideas.--[book jacket].
