Download or read book Spain written by David Cohn and published by Reaktion Books. This book was released on 2024-11-18 with total page 639 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An investigation of the influences and evolution of modern Spain’s underappreciated, but foundational, architecture. Spain’s remarkable twentieth-century architecture evolved against a turbulent background of revolution, civil war, dictatorship, and transition to democracy. Architecture played a key role in Spain’s struggle out of poverty and isolation, and its search for identity in the modern world. This book examines Spanish architecture from the roots of Modernism in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries to the present, analyzing significant figures and their works in relation to their political, social, and cultural contexts, as well as their contributions to architecture as a whole. From the austere, local Modernism of the 1920s, the influence of international trends in the ’30s, the renewed, “Organicist” Modernism of the ’50s and ’60s, to the flourishing public architecture of the late twentieth century and beyond, Spain provides a penetrating account of the country’s rich and varied built environment.
Download or read book Hotel Lobbies and Lounges written by Tom Avermaete and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-01-25 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This series investigates the historical, theoretical and practical aspects of interiors. The volumes in the Interior Architecture series can be used as handbooks for the practitioner and as a critical introduction to the history of material culture and architecture. Hotels occupy a particular place in popular imagination. As a place of exclusive sociability and bohemian misery, a site of crime and murder and as a hiding place for illicit liaison, the hotel has embodied the dynamism of the metropolis since the eighteenth century. This book explores the architectural significance of hotels throughout history and how their material construction has reflected and facilitated the social and cultural practices for which they are renowned. Contemporary developments in the planning and design of hotels are addressed through a series of interviews and case studies. Illustrated throughout, this book is an innovative and important contribution to architectural and interior design theory literature.

Download or read book Jos Antonio Coderch written by José Antonio Coderch and published by Editorial Gustavo Gili. This book was released on 2006 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: José Antonio Coderch de Sentmenat was born in 1913 and died en Barcelona in 1984. These years delimit his life and work. But the great internal coherence of his thinking, distilled within his architecture, goes beyond these temporal limits, his own idiosyncrasy and the reduced geographical framework where it developed, to provide a reflection on architecture from an ethical standpoint. Although, recognised as the most important catalan architect after World War II, this implicit depth is perhaps one of the reasons his work has not been widely disseminated. This new edition in hardcover book format of 2G issue devoted to José Antonio Coderch presents a collection of houses constructed by the Catalan architect. It includes 11 houses, starting with the Ugalde House, the great work that marks the initiation of his mature phase. In it, not only does Coderch definitely embrace the language of modern architecture, nuanced by his respect for context, but also hones his own spatial conception of the house in nature. It is the experimental prototype for the following houses. In ordering these intuitions, the free lines of the first are not repeated.
