Avant-Garde Modernism dominated the Russian architectural profession throughout the 1920s. Though severely limited by the disruptions of revolutions and civil war, the Avant-Garde has left behind it a body of theoretical work and a number of important completed projects that exerted a profound influence on pioneers of the Modern movement such as Walter Gropius and Hannes Meyer. Too often reduced to a single, homogenous movement, Soviet Modernism is here presented in all its considerable diversity; with over 300 rarely seen contemporary photographs, and documents by leading Modernists such as Tatlin, Melkikov and Golosov. In a new essay, Catherine Cooke examines the pre-revolutionary origins of the Avant-Garde and highlights the numerous fissures and tensions that characterized the movement during its decade of greatest influence.

St Martins Pr

This book is based on the proceedings of the forum of the same name at the Royal Academy of Arts in London, where the participants discussed Popular Architecture and the various notions surrounding it, especially the ideas of "the popular" and "pop art". Speakers included Charles Jencks, Robert Maxwell, Terry Farrell, James Wines, Piers Gough, Geoffrey Broadbent and many other internationally renowned architects and critics. Examples of this kind of architecture are presented, including recent projects by Robert Stern, particularly his work at Euro Disney, the Chiat/Day/Mojo building by Claes Oldenburg and Frank Gehry, and the work of Basil Bayati and Tomas Taveira. There is also an exclusive interview of Robert Venturi and Denise Scott Brown by Robert Maxwell.

Art Meets Science Spirituality

New Spirit in Architecture

The explosion, worldwide, of new museums and art galleries has been one of the most striking features of the cultural landscape during the 1980s. In Japan it is estimated a new museum opens at least once a week. This sudden flowering of (museology) has thrown into sharp relief the proper role of the museum and art gallery. How relevant is the traditional "white cube" to an era of audio-video technology. This book follows the International Symposium on New Museology at the Royal Academy and presents New Museums worldwide from Hans Hollein's underground Salzburg museum to Ian Ritchie's light weight lifts at the Reina Sophia, Madrid.

John Wiley&Sons

This is not only a source book of an international array of architects and ideas, an extravaganza of architectural theory and its realisation, but also contains extensive biographies of 35 architects. The fracturing of the barriers between theory and relaity is revealed as architecture moves from the studio and the realm of theory into street - the realm of practice, displaying an architecture of experimentation, invention and freedom. This book forms a rigorous up-to-the-minute view of architectural thinking today, and includes, inter alias, the work of Bernard Tschumi, Peter Eisenman, Morphosis, Coop Himmelblau, Daniel Libeskind and Itsuko Hasegawa.
