Book Description
Architect Ernesto Nathan Rogers (1909-1969) was a towering figure in 20th-century Italian architecture, with a significant impact at the international level. Through the work of his collaborative firm (Banfi Belgiojoso Peressutti Rogers, or BBPR), the editorship of publications such as Domus and Casabella, and his teaching at the Politecnico in Milan, Rogers ensured a lasting influence on the field as a practitioner, theorist and educator. However his contributions have been largely neglected by scholarship outside of Italy. Published as part of the Bloomsbury Studies in Modern Architecture series, which brings to light the work of significant yet overlooked modernist architects, this book re-assesses Ernesto Nathan Rogers' cultural legacy. It is the first comprehensive, critical work on Rogers in English, and emphasizes Rogers' vision for the role of the architect as a public intellectual, as well as his commitment to pursue a renewed path of professional and cultural research within the “Modern Project.” The book also discusses Roger's willingness to challenge academic classicized monumentality as well as modernist stereotypes, to emerge as a leader of Italian design in the aftermath of World War II; his interest in all scales of design and planning, with a cross-disciplinary mentality; tradition in modernity; and criticality as a mode of practice, to bring a detailed account of the work and thought of Ernesto Nathan Rogers to an English-speaking audience for the first time. With a foreword by Kenneth Frampton.

Book Description
Modern Architecture: A Book for Architects and the Public by Henry Heathcote Statham is a seminal piece on modern architecture covering a large canvas of concepts, ideas and illustrations discussing and describing new styles of buildings with an exhaustive index of diagrams, drawings and photographs of different kinds of architectural techniques. Statham consciously bridges the gap between the artistic and practical side to provide the balance necessary for the perfect blend that defines modern architecture. Emanating from a set of lectures that the author gave at an architectural association, the book spans across six chapters covering church architecture, domestic architecture, street architecture and the use of materials like iron among other aspects. It is however, the views propounded by Statham in the opening chapter on Present Position in Modern Architecture: A Book for Architects and the Public which stand out for the reader as it is here that he is able to deconstruct the debate between idealism and practicality that is apparent in the field. Modern Architecture: A Book for Architects and the Public is not a technical work meant only for professional architects. Statham ensures that the language of his narrative is sanguine and simple to understand for the lay reader. What makes this book different from others on the subject is the wide range of imagery that includes plans, designs and photographs that provide the context required for casual enthusiasts to appreciate and understand the nuances of modern architecture.

Author: Beatriz Colomina Publisher: MIT Press ISBN: 0262531399 Category : Architecture Languages : en Pages : 403
Book Description
Through a series of close readings of two major figures of the modern movement, Adolf Loos and Le Corbusier, Beatriz Colomina argues that architecture only becomes modern in its engagement with the mass media, and that in so doing it radically displaces the traditional sense of space and subjectivity. Privacy and Publicity boldly questions certain ideological assumptions underlying the received view of modern architecture and reconsiders the methodology of architectural criticism itself. Where conventional criticism portrays modern architecture as a high artistic practice in opposition to mass culture, Colomina sees the emerging systems of communication that have come to define twentieth-century culture—the mass media—as the true site within which modern architecture was produced. She considers architectural discourse as the intersection of a number of systems of representation such as drawings, models, photographs, books, films, and advertisements. This does not mean abandoning the architectural object, the building, but rather looking at it in a different way. The building is understood here in the same way as all the media that frame it, as a mechanism of representation in its own right. With modernity, the site of architectural production literally moved from the street into photographs, films, publications, and exhibitions—a displacement that presupposes a new sense of space, one defined by images rather than walls. This age of publicity corresponds to a transformation in the status of the private, Colomina argues; modernity is actually the publicity of the private. Modern architecture renegotiates the traditional relationship between public and private in a way that profoundly alters the experience of space. In a fascinating intellectual journey, Colomina tracks this shift through the modern incarnations of the archive, the city, fashion, war, sexuality, advertising, the window, and the museum, finally concentrating on the domestic interior that constructs the modern subject it appears merely to house.
