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.

This book fits the era of Obama and financial meltdown. It contains essays by mostly young architects who have gone grass roots to work with people, materials, and building types way off radar for earlier generations of architects. There is an eye-opening essay on bamboo. Jean Chae discusses her work using materials form Home Depot to build communal buildings in villages of Central America. Balkrishna Doshi introduces a "housing development" that its inhabitants, following a few guidelines, built from debris. The point throughout is a reversal of the usual flow of power and ideas. The architects have all endeavored to learn from people who, if noticed by mainstream authorities, have had buildings imposed on them. 175 illustrations

A complete and authoritative resource for professionals and students on a subject of essential interest for all in the world of architecture. The design of imaginary, conceptual, or radical buildings is as old as the practice of architecture itself. For centuries architects have drawn on their creative abilities to produce breathtaking works of architectural imagination. At no period has the investigation of new spatial forms been as rich as from the Second World War to the present. With such historical precursors as Piranesi and Ledoux, and, in the twentieth century, Melnikov, Sant'Elia, and others, architects have created an astonishing range of architectural constructs and urban utopias that have influenced generations of architects. This publication contains three parts: a thematic overview of the most important and far-reaching work created since 1945; a survey of contemporary visionary architecture, particularly in the digital realm; and an illustrated lexicon of ideas, movements, people, and terms. The early, unbuilt world of many of today's most important architects--Daniel Libeskind, Rem Koolhaas, Peter Eisenman, Zaha Hadid, Bernard Tschumi--is represented alongside the seminal work of earlier practitioners, such as Archigram, Archizoom, and Buckminster Fuller. Recent work is explored in case studies of contemporary visionaries, including Diller+Scofidio, Asymptote, Morphosis, and NOX. 500 illustrations, 250 in color.

Born out of the drawingbuilding.org online archive, Architectural Inventions presents a stunning visual study of impossible or speculative structures that exist only on paper. Soliciting the work of architects, designers, and artists of renown –as well as emerging talents from all over the world –Maximilian Goldfarb and Matt Bua have gathered an array of works that convey architectural alternatives, through products, expansions, or critiques of our inhabited environments. From abstract and conceptual visual interpretations of structures to more traditional architectural renderings, the featured work is divided into thematic chapters, ranging from 'Adapt/Reuse' to 'Clandestine'' 'Mobile'' 'Radical Lifestyle', 'Techno-Sustainable', and 'Worship'. Along with arresting and awe-inspiring illustrated content, every chapter also features an essay exploring its respective themes. Highlighting visions that exist outside of established channels of production and conventions of design, Architectural Inventions showcases a wide scope in concept and vision, fantasy and innovation.

A panoramic exploration of works of the imagination throughout history. Its emphasis is on how each architect, renderer, artist, and culture envisioned the future, hence the preponderance of buildings and urban cityscapes depicted are unbuilt. A range of work is included, from baroque stage sets to the film Metropolis, M.C. Escher, Frank Lloyd Wright, Hugh Ferriss, virtual L.A., and more. There are sketches, paintings, models, drawings, and computer images in a range of media and stylistic techniques, and a timeline integrates architectural events alongside their historical and cultural counterparts.
