Ciudad desobediente
Batalla cultural por una Iruñea desobediente. El proceso de recreación de la nueva ciudad contemporánea se vive en Iruñea como una suerte de incruenta batalla cultural entre la ciudad oficial y la ciudad real. En las mismas fechas de junio contrasta la celebración de las jornadas «Ciudad desobediente» sobre los centros alternativos y el primer congreso de la fundación «Arquitectura y Sociedad».

Bringing to light the debt twentieth-century modernist architects owe to the vernacular building traditions of the Mediterranean region, this book considers architectural practice and discourse from the 1920s to the 1980s. The essays here situate Mediterranean modernism in relation to concepts such as regionalism, nationalism, internationalism, critical regionalism, and postmodernism - an alternative history of the modern architecture and urbanism of a critical period in the twentieth century.

book | From autos to architectura : Fordism and architectural aesthetics in the twentieth century

From autos to architecture : Fordism and architectural aesthetics in the twentieth century / David Gartman.

One of the most interesting questions in architectural history is why modern architecture emerged from the war-ravaged regions of central Europe and not the United States, whose techniques of mass production and mechanical products so inspired the first generation of modern architects like Le Corbusier, Mies van der Rohe, and Walter Gropius. In From Autos to Architecture, sociologist David Gartman offers a critical social history that shows how Fordist mass production and industrial architecture in America influenced European designers to an extent previously not understood. Drawing on Marxist economics, the Frankfurt School, and French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu, From Autos to Architecture deftly illustrates the different class structures and struggles of America and Europe. Examining architecture in the context of social conflicts,ÊFrom Autos to Architecture offers a critical alternative to standard architectural histories focused on aesthetics alone.

David Gartman is a professor of sociology at the University of South Alabama.

Editorial Reviews

The Art Shelf, The Midwest Book Review:
"From Autos to Architecture: Fordism and Architectural Aesthetics in the 20th Century comes from a sociologist who provides a social history linking Fordist mass production and industrial architecture in America to European designer developments. It crosses disciplines from art and architecture to economics and world history to provide a scholarly survey of architecture and social conflicts, and is a pick for any college-level arts or social history." — James A. Cox

The Modern Library, Docomomo:
"Throughout his book, over subject matter as vast and varied as Levittown, Disneyland, the Seagram Building, the General Motors Technical Center, la Defense, Parc de la Villette, Phenomenology, Post-modernism and Deconstructionaism, Gartman repeatedly cross-examines the premises and conclusions of 20th-century architecture, citing familiar critics and sources. True to his purpose, in almost every case he attempts to illuminate the social class implications of these phenomena. It is a gargantuan task and the results not always entirely persuasive. Hardly surprising in an undertaking so boldy ambitious, but as with any fruitful academic work, Gartmans dangling questions pose challenges for further research." — Rich Ray (Winter 2010)

Detroit Gets Booked, Metro Times:
"Some auto titles may appeal to more than motorheads. Two books in particular discuss old Henry Ford's influence on architecture and society. From Autos to Architecture, by David Gartman, argues that Ford's mass production techniques helped inspire the clean lines of modernist architects." — Michael Jackman (November 25, 2009)

Newsletter, Dexigner:
"In From Autos to Architecture, historian David Gartman offers a critical social history that shows how Fordist mass production and industrial architecture in America influenced European designers to an extent previously not understood." (November 28, 2009)

Winter Books Roundup, Metropolis Magazine:
"Gartman, an automobile enthusiast and a sociology professor at the University of South Alabama, marries those two disparate interests in From Autos to Architecture. The book asks why the International Style developed where it did, in a post-war Europe whose manufacturing technology lagged far behind that of America and whose emphasis on traditional craft contrasted sharply with an American reverence of mass production. Not surprisingly, the key object in this historyand the product that most aptly symbolizes modernism and American culture in the middle of the last centuryis the car. Gartman uses the aesthetics of Fordism and the evolving cultural reaction to that movement to explain why architects first embraced, and eventually rejected, automobile production as a philosophical and aesthetic exemplar.." — George Beane (December 28, 2009)

“Pleasure and Polemics in Architecture” examines both the history and the contemporary state of pavilion architecture. This historical survey consists of two parts: first, the examination of a group of twentieth-century pavilions—categorical examples that form an architectural typology and can be interpreted as such—and second, a comprehensive collection of essays.

This outstanding analysis has been produced by students of architecture at Frankfurt’s Städelschule. In the theoretical section, well-known authors discuss the materials used in pavilions, starting with influences from the Orient, India, and Asia, and moving on to significant twentieth-century pavilions and today’s issue of temporary buildings somewhere between art and architecture. In addition, this volume documents the research and development of a summer pavilion for the garden at the Deutsches Architekturmuseum in Frankfurt done by the offices of Barkow Leibinger and Werner Sobek.

The first book to document the progress of the Make It Right Foundation‚ efforts to rebuild in New Orleans‚ Lower 9th Ward after Hurricane Katrina is now available.  With contributions by founder Brad Pitt and designs for the green, affordable cutting-edge Make It Right homes

Make It Right was launched by actor Brad Pitt, architecture firms Graft and McDonough + Partners and Cherokee Gives Back in 2007, two years after the storm, when the neighborhood was still deserted and devastated. The founders invited a group of high-profile and influential New Orleans, national and international architects to develop affordable, green, storm resistant housing for the community, incorporating the latest in innovative and sustainable design.

This book which was sponsored and assembled by Graft, features essays on the history and people of the Lower 9th Ward, the hurricane and its impact, and tracks the development and progress of the Make It Right project.  But the primary focus of the book is on the design process and designs.  The contributions to the project from Adjaye Associates, GRAFT, Gehry Partners and Shigeru Ban, among others, are shown in numerous photographs and renderings with sketches, building plans, and informative commentary. The book also describes the sustainable Cradle to CradleSM approach, which seeks to maximize economic, ecological, and social value by following principles inspired by nature.

Architecture in Times of Need also makes it clear that the devastation caused by Katrina and delay in rebuilding created an opportunity and demand for innovation. The Make It Right designs for green affordable homes were created for New Orleans. Lower 9th Ward, but they could be replicated around the world.  At a time when energy costs are too high, supplies are uncertain and concern about climate change is mounting, these homes offer the kind of practical, accessible design and technological solutions communities around the globe are demanding.

A delightful collection of creatures that adorn New York City buildings. Companion to “Faces in Stone”, this is a gift-sized and attractively priced book for architecture buffs. It features more than one hundred imaginative sculptural details, from the domestic to the fantastic, with a brief introduction and contextual photos to show the building on which each ornament appears, the addresses, and transportation information.

Reviews

“Implicitly, King makes a case against the rigid application of modernist dogma to architecture. That the carvings he photographed added depth, visual interest and beauty to their structures was sufficient justification for their existence. Form doesn’t necessarily have to follow function.” — Dave Luhrssen, Milwaukee Express

“[E]xcellent books, giving you another way to enjoy the sights, and great presents for architectural students or lovers of New York City.” — Pam Robinson, Examiner.com

Similar books could be produced in any older city with many buildings that have survived the ravages of “urban renewal.” But photographer Robert Arthur King, a professor at the New York School of Interior Design, didn’t have to wander far from home to find his subject in the decorative stone carvings on the facades of buildings. King focused on black and white photographs of animal figures—Art Deco eagles, sinister goats, roaring lions, glowering owls—mostly carved by anonymous artisans of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Implicitly, King makes a case against the rigid application of modernist dogma to architecture. That the carvings he photographed added depth, visual interest and beauty to their structures was sufficient justification for their existence. Form doesn’t necessarily have to follow function.

Around the globe the importance of infrastructure as the motor of economic development is rising owing to increasing mobility and the need to make urban territories accessible. As a result, infrastructure networks are among the most complex and significant design tasks today.

This book investigates how the design of infrastructure actively influences the organization of the inhabited landscape. Works of infrastructure are analyzed as footprints of civilization, as physical presence, as transformers of perception, and as new vessels of collective life. The authors identify these characteristics, together with the conditions that influence them, and suggest a typology of design attitudes as revealed in recent practice around the world.

Each chapter is illustrated with key works by some of the world’s most inspiring designers, including Vito Acconci, Paul Andreu, Benthem Crouwel, Dietmar Feichtinger, Diller Scofidio + Renfro, Terry Farrell, Norman Foster, Nicholas Grimshaw, Antoine Grumbach, Zaha Hadid, Arata Isozaki, Bruno Mader, Maxwan, Montgomery Sisam, OMA, Tonkin Zulaikha Greer, UN Studio, and Zwarts & Jansma.

The authors demonstrate how the combined creative potential of architecture, landscape architecture, and urban design is essential to putting into place an efficient, modern infrastructure. The result is an indispensable instrument for everyone involved in the design of infrastructure, and for all observers of the contemporary city.

book | The future of the paste : a conservation ethic for architecture

The future of the past : a conservation ethic for architecture, urbanism, and historic preservation / Steven W. Semes.

A comprehensive and eloquent argument for “new traditional” architecture that preserves the style and character of historic buildings.

With contemporary design being redefined by architects and urbanists who are recovering the historic language associated with traditional architecture and the city, how might preservation change its focus or update its mission? Steven W. Semes makes a persuasive case that context matters and that new buildings and additions to old buildings should be harmonious with their neighbors.

Endorsements & Reviews
“I do not think I've ever come away from a book more impressed. Its erudition and its force in putting across a complex contrarian argument are incomparable. This book should be required reading for modern architects, who will start to whistle past the graveyard, and preservationists, who will see the error of their ways and, if they are honest, will admit it.... All I can say is read the review - or better yet, go out right now and get the book itself. It is my new bible.” — David Brussat, Architecture Here and There, The Providence Journal

“The Decade’s Most Important Book on Urban Architecture….With the publication of this volume, Steven Semes has vaulted into the first rank of contemporary architectural critics and preservation theorists….Semes provides sufficient intellectual gravitas for his opus to be a valuable textbook when teaching historic preservation and urbanism. But the book’s clarity and precision also make it a practical guide for urban planners, developers and designers tasked with creating additions or infill for historic areas. It also should be must reading for all preservationists and people serving on landmark commissions and design review boards.” — Clem Labine, Traditional Building

“[P]resents a persuasive case against the preservation ethic of oppositional styling; that is, the argument that new additions to historic buildings must be deliberately un-period so as not to be confused with the existing, ‘authentic’ section of the building. Semes illuminates the error of this way of thinking, and walks us through a history of architecture and preservation in the process.” — Planetizen.com

“[A] stirring and passionate call to get historic preservation right by respecting the past without making it sacrosanct.” — Civil Engineering

“Semes has written an indictment so complete and so damning, and yet expressed with such grace and diplomacy, that all thoughtful preservationists and even some modern architects will finally understand, if not admit, the error of their ways….so clear, so strong and so compelling that professionals in the field may be judges by how they react to it.” — David Brussat, The Providence Journal

“Full of well illustrated examples, drawings, and photographs of the results of both approaches, this volume is likely to take up important space in future discussions.” — Book News
