Kenneth Frampton Knihy

Britský historik a kritik architektury Kenneth Frampton (nar. 1930) je v současnosti jedním z nejrespektovanějších znalců a teoretiků moderní architektury. Dlouhodobě působí jako profesor na Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation Kolumbijské univerzity v New Yorku, přednášel v řadě předních institucí v tomto oboru, v roce 1996 měl přednášky také v Praze a v Brně. Napsal řadu knih a studií, které nedávno shrnul ve sborníku statí Práce, dílo a architektura (Labour, Work and Architecture, 2002). Jednoznačně největší úspěch zaznamenaly jeho „kritické dějiny“ moderní architektury. Kniha opakovaně vychází anglicky i v překladech do mnoha jazyků, přičemž autor ji od prvního vydání přepracoval a doplnil, a v současnosti je považována za nejpronikavější výklad vývoje moderní architektury.

David Chipperfield worked for both Richard Rogers and Foster Associates before establishing his own practice in 1984. Often erroneously thought of as a minimalist architect, he has become one of the most conceptionally complex architects working today, thanks to the diversity and depth of his realized projects. Amongst his highly acclaimed projects are the River & Rowing Museum which was his first major commission in England, the Knight House, or the masterplan for the Museum Island in Berlin. More recently his projects include the Villa in Berlin-Schöneberg and the elegant office building in Düsseldorf. Chipperfield is also active in Milan, Venice, Madrid, the USA, and Japan. Beautifully designed by Quentin Newark this book presents with over 60 projects Chipperfield´s complete oeuvre. An essay focuses on his creative process and the architect's considerations on the architectonic development over the last decades. Jonathan Keates and Kenneth Frampton analyse key aspects of Chipperfield´s architecture.

The 20th century was remarkably fertile ground for residential architecture in the US, producing such icons of modern building as the Greene brothers' Gamble House in Pasadena (1908), Eliel Saarinen's 1929 residence at the Cranbrook Academy of Art in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, and Michael Graves' neo-classical villa in New Jersey.

Le Corbusier's ideas and works constitute the greatest single influence in the development of architecture in the 20th century. His passionately expressed philosophy has had an enormous effect on the urban fabric and the way we live. Weaving through his long and prolific life are certain recurrent themes - his perennial drive towards new types of dwelling, from the early white villas to the Unite d'Habitation at Marseilles; his evolving concepts of urban form, including the Plan Voisin of 1925; and his belief in a new technocratic order.

A comprehensive monograph of one of the most interesting architects working today.

The enduring fascination with mid-century modern design continues, yet many inspiring figures remain overlooked. Antonin and Nomi Raymond are now poised for recognition. This book serves as the first comprehensive English-language exploration of the duo who transformed design from 1917 to 1966. Renowned for their intricate structures built in Japan during the 1930s, the Raymonds had diverse careers that spanned factories, office buildings, churches, schools, and furniture, fabrics, and graphic design. They skillfully merged their European modern roots with local craft traditions from Japan, India, and rural Pennsylvania. Collaborating with prominent thinkers and artists such as Frank Lloyd Wright, Cass Gilbert, and Isamu Noguchi, the Raymonds drew inspiration from traditional Japanese architecture, emphasizing craftsmanship in all their projects. Their notable works include churches in Chicago, the Tokyo Tennis Club, the Pacific Cable Company Station in Guam, and the Golconde Dormitory in India, as well as modernist interventions in their own farmhouse in New Hope, Pennsylvania. Four essays complement this thorough examination, shedding light on the Raymonds' careers and highlighting a captivating yet overlooked chapter in mid-century modern design history.

Das Zacherlhaus befindet sich im Herzen Wiens nur 180 Meter vom Wiener Stephansdom entfernt und ist eines der bedeutendsten Bauwerke der Otto-Wagner-Schule. Joesef Plečnik, der später an der Akademie der bildenden Künste in Prag unterrichtete und Laibach ab etwa 1925 städtebaulich umgestaltete, errichtete es für den Bauherren Johann Zacherl in den Jahren 1903–1905. Es wurde als erstes Wohn- und Geschäftsgebäude modernen Stils in der Altstadt errichtet und zählt zu seinen bekanntesten Gebäuden in Wien. Im Buch kommen ausschließlich Experten für mitteleuropäische Architektur des 20. Jahrhunderts zu Wort, wie z. B. Ákos Moravánszky und Kenneth Frampton. Eine gründliche Renovierung die 2015 abgeschlossen sein wird, ist Anlass für diese großzügig bebilderte, repräsentative Dokumentation.

This comprehensive volume documents the work of the Argentine architect, graphic designer, and industrial designer Emilio Ambasz. Ambasz's main concern is to integrate nature and construction into architectural design, which is why he is regarded as one of the most important pioneers of Green Architecture. In his work a combination of landscape and architecture emerges, in which his respect for the environment and ecological sustainability becomes clear. A prime example of this is the Fukuoka Prefectural International Hall in Japan: a building that houses more than 100,000 m2 of exhibition spaces, theaters, and offices is also an open green area in the form of a hanging garden. In addition to the documentation of Ambasz's architectural, graphic, industrial, and exhibition design, this publication contains essays by Barry Bergdoll, Kenneth Frampton, and Peter Buchanan, as well as three interviews with Emilio Ambasz, conducted by Michael Sorkin, James Wines, and Hans Ulrich Obrist.

Kenneth Frampton – Grandseigneur der Architekturgeschichte – legt hiermit eine Genealogie der Architekturstile des 20. Jahrhunderts vor. Sein Zugang ist von bestechender Klarheit: vier Entwicklungslinien, an denen sich die Triebfedern der Erneuerung innerhalb der Architektur abzeichnen. Er strukturiert seine Betrachtung, fokussiert auf die relevanten Zeiträume, in 1. Avantgarde (1887–1986); 2. Organische Architektur (1910–1998); 3. Moderne und Nationalstile (1935–1998) und 4. Industrialisierung und Vorfertigung (1927–1990). Seine Übersicht ist, wie schon der Titel sagt, keine lexikalische Ansammlung chronologischer Abläufe. Die Einsichten gehen zugunsten eines souveränen Überblicks über Geschichte, Theorie und Motive der Architektur und – nicht zuletzt – auch der Wege der großen Architekten des 20. Jahrhunderts.
