Trade Paperback. Condición: Used - Very Good. with essays by Peter S. Reed, Robert Friedel, Margaret Crawford, Greg Hise, Joel Davidson, and Michael Sorkin Among the legacies of World War II was a massive building program on a scale that America had not seen before and has not seen since. The war effort created thousands of factories, homes, even entire cities throughout the country. Many of these structures still stand, the physical evidence of an unprecedented ability to harness the power and resources of a people. The complex legacy of this most notable period in our nation's history is discussed from a different perspective by each contributor. 'Peter S. Reed,' Associate Curator of the Department of Architecture and Design at the Museum of Modern Art, details the rise of modern architecture during the war -- housing designs that used the latest ideas in prefabricated construction methods, lightweight materials, innovative technologies, and a corporate and institutional aesthetic that helped popularize modernism as the appropriate image of American industrial might and corporate success. 'Robert Friedel,' Professor of History at the University of Maryland, documents the development of new materials, especially plastics, and discusses techniques for employing traditional materials in novel ways. 'Margaret Crawford,' Chair of the History and Theory of Architecture Program at the Southern California Institute of Architecture, explores the struggle of women and blacks for public housing. 'Greg Hise,' Assistant Professor in the School of Urban and Regional Planning at the University of Southern California, considers how the construction of large-scale residential communities near defense plantsprefigured postwar suburbia. 'Joel Davidson,' historian of the 'World War II and the American Dream' exhibition, analyzes the impact of the war's building program on the postwar military-industrial complex. Among the legacies of World War II was a massive building program on a scale that America had not seen before and has not seen since. The war effort created thousands of factories and homes, evidence of an unprecedented ability to harness the power and resources of a people.

Hardcover. Condición: Used - Very Good. Combining history, theory, and polemic, George Baird probes the conceptual lineage and current expressions of postmodernism and the critique of modernist architecture over the past four decades, revealing the general failure to develop an architecture that is politically engaged and affirmative of the public sphere. Hannah Arendt's imperative of worldliness plays a pivotal role in Baird's reading of what has come to be called architecture's belief system. It is not enough, he argues, to reject the totalizing models that have been typical both of modernism and of many of its postmodern successors. Rather it is necessary to construct a public 'space of appearance' that is large and diverse enough to make places for all of us. Baird stakes out clearly and sharply the recent history of ideas that bear on the field, recovering influences and ideas that have been omitted from standard histories of modernism. The period since 1960 has seen the collapse of the conditions that shored up modern architecture, as conventionally understood, and has also seen modernism succeeded by a whole series of tentative alternatives, none of which has successfully achieved the decisive legitimacy that modernism once held. After an introduction that situates architecture's current dilemmas within the broader currents of cultural theory, The Space of Appearance focuses on specific historical episodes or developments. Each chapter outlines a different controversy or series of controversies, or depicts the gradual and insidious erosion of certain firmly held architectural beliefs. Each chapter is also structured around a conceptual account of issues that have evolved in contemporary cultural theory since theinterventions of Arendt in the 1950s. George Baird probes into the conceptual lineage and current expressions of postmodernism and the critique of postmodern architecture over the past four decades.

Trade Paperback. Condición: Used - Very Good. Earth Moves, Bernard Cache's first major work, conceptualizes a series of architectural images as vehicles for two important developments. First, he offers a new understanding of the architectural image itself. Following Gilles Deleuze and Henri Bergson, he develops an account of the image that is nonrepresentational and constructive--images as constituents of a primary, image world, of which subjectivity itself is a special kind of image. Second, Cache redefines architecture beyond building proper to include cinematic, pictoral, and other framings.Complementary to this classification, Cache offers what is to date the only Deleuzean architectural development of the 'fold,' a form and concept that has become important over the last few years. For Cache, as for Deleuze, what is significant about the fold is that it provides a way to rethink the relationship between interior and exterior, between past and present, and between architecture and the urban. Earth Moves, Bernard Cache's first major work, conceptualizes a series of architectural images as vehicles for two important developments. Very nice clean, tight copy free of any marks.
