Stadtgestalt Als Prozess: Versuch Zur Entsprechung Von Stadt Und Gesellschaft An Einem Bewusstseinsgeschichtlichen Modell

Pahl, Jürgen.

Wasmuth

A facsimile of the treatise that secured Wright's reputation in Europe, this elegant volume includes plans and drawings of all his projects up to 1910. In the ""Prairie houses,"" vaguely preColumbian forms, adaptations of Japan's light-paneled architecture and intricate wooden moldings are fused into the style Wright termed ""organic,"" even though his buildings of this period seldom made direct references to nature. The monumental Larkin Building and Unity Temple, at once abstract and classical, were experiments in what he called a ""democratic"" vernacular. In the introductory essay, Wright proclaims his contempt for the recent past and embraces the International Style. Europeans were entranced by his abstraction, yet it is his wayward individualism that shines through in the sketches. Printed on cream stock in sepia inks, the album is for connoisseurs and serious students.

Making no claim to objectivity or exhaustive inclusiveness, Udo Hesse presents photographic portraits of 66 architects who have played a major role in shaping the new face of Berlin. Some of the people behind the buildings include Norman Foster, Zaha M. Hadid, Helmut Jahn, Daniel Liebeskind, Dominique Perrault, and Renzo Piano. Hesse's penetrating photographs are supplemented by the architects' own insights into their unique approaches and working methods.

<p>A tremendous hit at Expo 2000 in Hanover, the two exhibits documented here offer the world both a backward glance at itself and a look forward. "Planet of Visions" brings the utopias of world history into contemporary consciousness by projecting historic visions in gigantic panoramic scenes; "The Twenty-First Century" proposes interpretations of the key themes likely to affect our planet over the 100 years.</p>

Helmut Jacoby is probably the foremost architectural renderer of our times--and indeed perhaps the last, as the craft of perspective drawing comes to be replaced by computer animation. His presentation drawings, in ink and ink spray, of works by such masters as Philip Johnson, Eero Saarinen, I.M. Pei, Marcel Breuer and SOM constitute a panoramic sweep of the innovations of Modernism in North America during the 1950s and 1960s, and set the standard for architectural presentation. This volume is the first publication of all of Jacoby's output.
