Hardcover. Condición: Used - Very Good. Charles Jencks, the leading architectural critic and writer, takes on 'trendiness' in architecture: namely the rise of the 'iconic building,' instantly famous and distinctively recognizable structures like Norman Foster's 'Gherkin' in London or Daniel Libeskind's Ground Zero designs in New York. Although there have always been buildings built to be instant icons such as palaces and cathedrals, Jencks sees this latest trend as being fueled by the real estate industry's thirst for profit and architects' outsize egos. Since the debut of Gehry's Guggenheim Bilbao, a roster of international architects has created iconic buildings that court publicity and controversy in equal measure. Some iconic buildings are successful creations that fulfill their contradictory requirements, while others make the public and the critics wince. In addition to Foster, Gehry and Libeskind, Jencks also discusses recent works by Peter Eisenman, Zaha Hadid, Rem Koolhaas, and Renzo Piano.Anyone interested in contemporary architecture and the direction of urban design will be interested in Jencks' witty, irreverent and sympathetic insights into how buildings can become good architecture that enhances the cityscape-and are truly iconic. Very nice clean, tight copy free of any marks. wrapped in complimentary Brodart dust jacket protector.

Hardcover. Amish blue cloth, blue & color illus. dust jacket, 234 pp., many color illus. "Public architecture is now required to be an amazing piece of surreal sculpture as well as something that appeals to a diverse audience -- at once provocative and practical yet without the context that religion and ideology once provided. Such contrary demands drive the architect toward a new convention: the enigmatic signifier. This curious sign suggests many meanings without naming any of them. The most publiczed version of the genre, Frank Gehry's New Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, 1997, became an instant media event that forced other architects to design event buildings routinely. This 'Bilbao Effect' has led to a series of landmark buildings. . While negative reaction has continued to grow, the iconic building is with us to stay. Charles Jencks lucidly helps us separate the best of these new buildings from the mediocre ones." (dj). VG (Slight rubbing to heel of binding spine, otherwise crisp and clean.).
