A serious and original study of the beginnings and development of modernism in which the pictorial aspects are designed to aid in the communication of the author's closely reasoned formulations. Let it be said at once that the format of this work is richly handsome: it is a two-volume boxed set comprising 844 pages and well over 1,000 high-quality illustrations, and it reflects throughout its publisher's conviction that good design is an essential, not superficial, part of bookmaking. Beyond that, it should be emphasized that this work is not another facile cultural tour of modern architecture. It is a serious and original study of the beginnings and development of modernism in which the pictorial aspects are designed to aid in the communication of the author's closely reasoned formulations, rather than to gloss over a lack of substantive content. The book is a translation of the third Italian edition, published in 1966. Benevolo, who is on the faculty of architecture in Venice, has earned an international reputation as a historian of architecture and town planning, and his publications embrace the span of time from the Renaissance to the foreseeable future. One such publication, The Origins of Modern Town Planning (The MIT Press, 1967), may be read as a prelude to the present work as well as an independent contribution. Perhaps more than any other architectural historian in our time, Benevolo has made a determined effort to place developments in design and planning in their proper social and political settings. Indeed, the author argues that the development of the modern movement in architecture was determined, not by aesthetic formalisms, but largely by the social changes that have occurred since about 1760: "After the middle of the eighteenth century, without the continuity of formal activity being in any way broken, indeed while architectural language seems to be acquiring a particular coherence, the relations between architect and society began to change radically.... New material and spiritual needs, new ideas and modes of procedure arise both within and beyond the traditional limits, and finally they run together to form a new architectural synthesis that is completely different from the old one. In this way it is possible to explain the birth of modern architecture, which otherwise would seem completely incomprehensible...." This second volume is concerned with the modern movement proper, from 1914 to 1966. The author emphasizes the unity of the movement, rejecting the usual treatment that allots to the individual architects separate and unconnected biographical accounts.Benevolo remarks at one point, "When one talks about modern architecture one must bear in mind the fact that it implies not only a new range of forms, but also a new way of thinking, whose consequences have not yet all been calculated." His main concern is to provide a more exact calculation of those consequences.

Originally published in Germany in 1968, this first comprehensive and critical survey of Le Corbusier's life and work soon became the standard text on the architect and polymath. French, Spanish, English, Japanese and Korean editions followed, but the book has now been out of print for almost two decades. In the meantime, Le Corbusier's archives in Paris have become available for research, resulting in an avalanche of scholarship. Von Moos' critical take and the basic criteria by which the subject is organized and historicized remain surprisingly pertinent in the context of this recent jungle of Corbusier studies. This new, completely revised edition is based on the 1979 version published in English by the MIT Press but offers a substantially updated body of illustrations. Each of the seven chapters is supplemented by a critical survey of recent scholarship on the respective issues. An updated edition of this acclaimed book, an essential read for students of architecture and architectural history.

"Le Corbusier grew up in La Chaux-de-Fonds in Switzerland, a city described by Karl Marx as "one unified watchmaking industry." Among the unifying social structures of La Chaux-de-Fonds was the Loge L'Amitié, the Masonic lodge with its francophone moral, social, and philosophical ideas, including the symbolic iconography of the right angle (rectitude) and the compass (exactitude). Le Corbusier would later describe these as "my guide, my choice" and as his "time-honored ideas, ingrained and deep-rooted in the intellect, like entries from a catechism." Through exhaustive research that challenges long-held beliefs, J.K. Birksted's Le Corbusier and the Occult traces the structure of Le Corbusier's brand of modernist spatial and architectural ideas based on startling new documents in hitherto undiscovered family and local archives."--Publisher.

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2000 im Fachbereich Kunst - Architektur, Baugeschichte, Denkmalpflege, Note: 2, Bauhaus-Universität Weimar (Gropius-Professur Prof. De Michelis), Veranstaltung: Seminar Architekturgeschichte 2, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: "... weisen darauf hin, dass die Voraussetzungen für die moderne Architektur irgendwann zwischen dem Zeitpunkt gegeben waren, an dem der Anatom und Architekt Claude Perrault gegen Ende des 17. Jahrhunderts die allgemeine Gültigkeit der vitruvianischen Proportionslehren anzweifelte, und jenem der endgültigen Trennung von Architektur und Ingenieurbau." Kenneth Framptons Werk umfasst getreu diesem Zitat die Geschichte der modernen Architektur ab 1750. Die Entwicklung der Architektur hat er bis zum Jahre 1984 verfolgt und festgehalten. Er wählte zum besseren Verständnis eine Unterteilung in drei Teile, wobei er im ersten Teil die Zeit von 1750 - 1939, im zweiten die Zeit von 1836-1967 und im letzten Teil die Architektur in der Zeit von 1925 bis 1984 bearbeitete. Der erste Teil seines Buches führt dabei in die Materie ein und ist genereller als die zwei folgenden. Hier beschreibt Frampton die Voraussetzungen für die Entstehung der modernen Architektur und differenziert zwischen verschiedenen Einflüssen auf die Artchitektur, beginnend im Jahre 1750. Besonders befasst er sich im ersten Kapitel mit den kuturellen Wandlungen in der Gesellschaft, die die Architektur beeinflußt haben. Hier beginnen seine Observierungen im Jahre 1750. Er schließt dieses Kapitel mit Ereignissen der vorletzten Jahrhundertwende ab. Das zweite Kapitel behandelt statt dessen die territorialen Wandlungen, besonders die Stadtentwicklung zwischen 1800 und 1909. Im dritten Kapitel geht der Autor auf die technischen Neuerungen zu jener Zeit ein und stellt die Anfänge des Ingenieurbaus dar. Hier beginnt seine Darstellung im Jahre 1775 und endet im Jahre 1939. Im zweiten Teil seines Werkes befasst sich Frampton primär mit einzelnen Architekten und ihren Werken, und mit Stilrichtungen, die zwischen 1836 und 1967 entstanden und eventuell (in verschiedenen Ländern) zeitgleich existierten. So schreibt er zuerst von der englischen Architektur, die 1936 begann. Meist gibt Frampton als Kapitelüberschrift einen Architekten und die Stilrichtung oder die Entwicklungen, für die er eine besonders treibende Kraft war. Beispiel ist hier "Le Corbusier und L ́Esprit Nouveau" oder auch "Antonio Sant ́Elia und die futuristische Architektur". Zugleich liefern seine Überschriften schon einen kurzen Überblick über die Gegebenheiten zu der behandelten Zeit.

The history of modern architecture as constructed by historians and key texts. Writing, according to Panayotis Tournikiotis, has always exerted a powerful influence on architecture. Indeed, the study of modern architecture cannot be separated from a fascination with the texts that have tried to explain the idea of a new architecture in a new society. During the last forty years, the question of the relationship of architecture to its history—of buildings to books—has been one of the most important themes in debates about the course of modern architecture. Tournikiotis argues that the history of modern architecture tends to be written from the present, projecting back onto the past our current concerns, so that the "beginning" of the story really functions as a "representation" of its end. In this book the buildings are the quotations, while the texts are the structure. Tournikiotis focuses on a group of books by major historians of the twentieth century: Nikolaus Pevsner, Emil Kaufmann, Sigfried Giedion, Bruno Zevi, Leonardo Benevolo, Henry-Russell Hitchcock, Reyner Banham, Peter Collins, and Manfredo Tafuri. In examining these writers' thoughts, he draws on concepts from critical theory, relating architecture to broader historical models.

In Mies Contra Le Corbusier, Gevork Hartoonian embarks on a captivating exploration of the architectural ideologies embodied in the works of Mies van der Rohe and Le Corbusier. Focusing on the non-synchronicity inherent in their approaches to the tectonics of the column and wall, Hartoonian conducts a comparative analysis of carefully selected diachronic projects from each architect. This insightful journey unravels the architects' ideological stances within the ongoing dialogue between modernity and tradition. Hartoonian sheds light on the inclination of Mies and Le Corbusier toward a frameless architecture, a characteristic prominently displayed in their late works. Drawing inspiration from Marxian philosophy, the author contends that significant technological developments play a crucial role in shaping subjectivities across the cultural spectrum, creating an uneven dissemination. The frame, in Hartoonian’s lens, transcends the boundaries of a single building, becoming a lens through which to frame a nuanced understanding of the urban landscape and tectonics. Mies Contra Le Corbusier stands as a thought-provoking exploration that not only unveils the intricacies of architectural history but also offers profound insights into the cultural and technological forces shaping the built environment. This book will be of interest to researchers and students of architectural history and theory. Additionally, it offers a timely discussion of Mies and Le Corbusier’s contributions to architecture’s contemporaneity for the younger generation of architects.

Die Bauten von Le Corbusier sind unverrückbare Ikonen der Architektur des 20. Jahrhunderts. Doch Le Corbusiers Schaffen als Buchgestalter und Autor ist im Überblick kaum bekannt und wurde bisher nicht gewürdigt: Le Corbusier hat von 1912 bis 1965 über vierzig Bücher minuziös geplant und realisiert. Architekt der Bücher zeigt, dass Le Corbusier dem Buch als wesentlichem Bestandteil seines Schaffens grosse Bedeutung beigemessen hat. Anhand von unveröffentlichtem Archivmaterial zeichnet die Autorin den Entstehungsprozess dieser Werke nach und lädt ein, den grossen Baukünstler als Architekt der Bücher zu entdecken.
