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.
Houses of God
Dostępność: na zamówienie If this is architecture for the gods, the gods must be groaning. Not to say that this big, handsome paperback look at more than 40 recent faith-centered architectural projects around the U.S.--complete with full-color photographs, plans, and excellent annotations--doesn't make it amply and diversely clear that there has been a boom in America in recent years in the building of churches, synagogues, mosques, and nondenominational chapels.
