PROJECT RUSSIA 41 Alexander...
Dostępność: na zamówienie Monographs on the subject of architects who are still in good health are commonly regarded as the equivalent of monuments to people who are still alive - they supposedly put their subjects on a divine pedestal and stamp their buildings and designs with the mark of 'eternity'. Brodsky's Oblako ('Cloud') Bar and Ice Pavilion no longer exist, and yet you'll find them in the journal you're now holding, and this gives them a kind of 'immortal' glory. However, periodicals such as our own cannot afford to sacrifice immediate relevance to current issues to a memorializing impulse. In the present case this immediate relevance is not simply a matter of the fact that Brodsky has been chosen to represent Russia with a one-man show at this year's Venice Bien-nale.
RICHARD NEUTRA
Dostępność:na zamowienie The authoritative study of the life and career of renowned modernist architect Richard Neutra. Richard Neutra's work, his life experience, and his search for modern architecture coincided neatly with the lifespan of the modern movement. He experienced the buoyant struggles of the movement's early years, the heady excesses of mid-century ascendancy, and the strains of its slow demise, and his reputation has lately enjoyed a resurgence that was hard to predict when "Richard Neutra and the Search for Modern Architecture" was first published over twenty years ago.
