An Introduction to Modern Architecture

Penguin Books | 1962 | ISBN: N/A | English | 244 pages | PDF | 24 MB
An Introduction to Modern Architecture, sets out to explain what 'modern' architecture is all
about. In these days, when the need for new buildings is so great and so many building plans
are being made, it is specially important that everyone should have an understanding of the
principles of architecture, and the author, disapproving of the treatment of architecture as a
professional mystery or merely a matter of correct taste, asks (and tries to answer) the simple
question: 'Conventions and habits apart, what sort of architecture does our time really
require?'

Apartment Buildings (Architectural Design) By Carles Broto

1999 | 238 Pages | ISBN: 8489861048 | scanned PDF | 398 MB
As we approach the end of the 20th century, we live in a state of schizophrenia between
architecture and housing caused by the new ways of living. From one side, there is a
continuity and improvement of the inherited styles. From the other, new arguments focus our
attention to environmental factors as well as local materials, constructional and compositional
exploration of the facades, which collectively allows us to speak of the beginning of a new
architecture. This book explores this residential debate through the analysis of a selection of
apartment projects by major architectural firms. Under the diversity of the projects, there lies
a common aim in the design of the interiors: to combine rational planning distribution with
the best entrance of natural light.

Blue Monday: Stories of Absurd Realities and Natural Philosophies By

AUDC, Kazys Varnelis, Robert Sumrell
2007 | 175 Pages | ISBN: 8496540537 | PDF | 11 MB
AUDCs first book captures three moments in modern culture that offer glimpses
into our increasingly perverse relationship to architecture, cities, and objects.
Ether explores the Los Angeles telecom hotel, One Wilshire; a 39 story building
of utter banality and complete mystery. The Stimulus Progression examines the
strange story of the Muzak Corporation and the invention of a culture of
horizontality. Quartzsite, Arizona visits a desert town of 3,000 people that
swells to over 1 million residents every summer when modern nomads in
Recreational Vehicles descend upon in it in hordes. This book is a lively mix of
philosophy, photography, architectural drawings and models, and new media.

Before Architecture. Vor der Architektur: 1-3

Bettina Gtz, Peter Allison, "Before Architecture. Vor der Architektur: 13"
2008 | Ehglish, German | ISBN-10: 3211094253 | 211 pages | PDF | 12 MB
Die Kommissrin des sterreichischen Beitrages zur 11. Architekturbiennale in
Venedig stellt mit drei Positionen das Thema Vor der Architektur" zur Diskussion.
Band 1 des Kataloges zeigt den kompromisslosen Anspruch Josef Lackners
(19312000) an Architektur sowie die konzeptionelle Arbeitsweise des
Architektenduos PAUHOF. In Band 2 untersucht der deutsche
Architekturtheoretiker und Soziologe Werner Sewing im Gesprch mit sieben
sterreichischen Architekturbros das Thema Wohnbau als ein in Rezeption und
Theorie vernachlssigtes Aufgabenfeld.
-The theme of the 11th International Architecture Exhibition La Biennale di
Venezia is Out There. Architecture Beyond Building, and its thesis is that today
the building alone does not suffice for us to feel at home in our modern world.
According to this, architecture does not refer to just the building itself but is
expected to address a number of questions about the necessary background
conditions and to investigate new demands and problems. This approach shifts
its perspective from the familiar phrase everything is
architecture to a more challenging notion of everything can give rise to
architecture.
In choosing the topic Before Architecture Bettina Gtz departed from the idea
that it is possible to generate architecture anew by interpreting common
programmes in surprising ways. In an exemplary manner this places the focus of
the exhibition on the unusual and at the same time consistent
approaches and problem-solving strategies of Josef Lackner and PAUHOF
architects.
Josef Lackner stands out for his courage not to follow well- trodden paths but to
rethink basic principles. He rejected early on and with consistent vehemence the
so-called tourist style and the big fuss over speculative building taking place in
what he liked to call the Alpine fold, a topographical
reference to Tyrol, the federal state where he was born and bred. His realized

ideas in the form of built projects, by contrast, are statements about the
unmistakable in his work, his striving to find the form for an idea...
