Architecture as Built Criticism: Proceeds of the International Conference on Architectural Criticism 2023 - Softcover
Synopsis
- An anthology of essays by leading independent international authors on the topic of architecture as built criticism
- Offers paradigmatic case studies for the next generation of architectural critics
- Concise and well-structured analyses demonstrate various ways in which buildings can manifest critical attitudes
- With three consecutive editions, the International Conference on Architectural Criticism is established as a global forum for competent and independent architectural criticism
Can buildings themselves express criticism? Wasn't modernist housing a collective criticism of unsustainable living conditions? Can a state's embassy convey differentiated, critical messages to the home and host country? Can architects express explicit criticism with their buildings? And if so, how can they do so? The essays collected in this volume present a wide range of effective built criticisms. Their authors' concise analyses broaden our view of an insufficiently explored field of knowledge.
The 2023 International Conference on Architectural Criticism at Shanghai's Tongji University introduced the critical positions of leading international architects and architecture firms. The debate between tradition and modernity gave rise to varied approaches, such as opposition against unstoppable progress or against autocratic family ideals.

Seller: Rheinberg-Buch Andreas Meier eK, Bergisch Gladbach, Germany
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Können Bauwerke selbst Kritik üben War der Wohnungsbau der Moderne nicht eine gemeinschaftliche Kritik an unhaltbaren Lebensbedingungen Kann eine Botschaft eines Staates differenzierte, kritische Botschaften an Heimat- und Gastgeberland übermitteln Können Architekten überhaupt explizite Kritik mit ihren Bauten äussern Wenn ja, wie Die in diesem Band versammelten Architekturkritiken breiten ein Spektrum effektiver Möglichkeiten gebauter Kritik aus. Die konzisen Analysen der Autorinnen und Autoren weiten den Blick auf ein immer noch unzureichend erschlossenes Wissensgebiet. Die International Conference on Architectural Criticism 2023 an der Tongji Universität in Shanghai stellte kritische Haltungen führender internationaler Architekturbüros vor. Schon die Aus-wahl der Baumaterialien kann eine Kritik an den bestehenden Konventionen beinhalten. Die Auseinandersetzung zwischen Tradition und Moderne zeitigte unterschiedliche Vorgehensweisen: mal gegen den unaufhaltbaren Fortschritt, mal gegen autokratische Vorstellungen von Familie. 256 pp. Englisch.
