Baba The Werkbund Housing Estate Prague / Die Werkbundsiedlung Prag: The Werkbund Housing Estate in Prague, 1932 - Softcover
This text explores the architecture of the Prague Werkbund Housing Estate "Baba", which is a symbol of architectural modernism in the Czech republic. Three generations of architects were active in this area; the older generation, still influenced by Cubism, include Janak and Gocar; the middle generation whose works were purist and functionalist, include Linhart and Stary; and the younger generation, for example, Ladislav Zak, who with their sweeping forms wished to distance themselves from white functionalism.

Book Description Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. 142 pp., diagrams, illustrations, bibliography, index. In English and German. Up until the fall of the Iron Curtain, the housing estate "Baba" in Prague was a little-known tip. This was the last building exhibition which the Werkbund set up in Europe in 1932 and symbolises and entire ear, vividly depicting Modern Architecture in the Czech Republic, which has gained growing international recognition since 1989. Three generations of architects were active here; the older generation, still influenced by Cubism, include Janak and Gocar; the middle generation, whose works were purist and functionalist, include Linhart and Stary; and the younger generation, for example, Ladislav Zak, who with their sweeping forms wished to distance themselves from 'white functionalism'. With copious, unpublished source material, this book analyses for the first time the particular status which the Prague Housing Estate has in architectural history. It addresses architectural and sociopolitical topics, documents the individual projects and looks at the circumstances of the private clients. Seller Inventory # 3764359919AMA022820

Book Description Condition: Sehr gut. 1. 142 S. Gebrauchtes Exemplar in sehr gutem Zustand. KEINE Eintragungen/Markierungen. Bis zum Fall des Eisernen Vorhangs galt die Werkbundsiedlung "Baba" (errichtet 1932) in Prag als Geheimtip. Diese letzte Ausstellungssiedlung ist das Symbol einer ganzen Epoche: Sie gibt ein anschauliches Bild von der architektonischen Moderne in der Tschechischen Republik, der nun seit 1989 auch international Beachtung geschenkt wird. Die 32 Bauten dieser hoch über Prag gelegenen Siedlung sind heute noch gut erhalten. Architekten dreier Generationen waren hier tätig: die ältere noch vom Kubismus herkommend (Janák, Gocár), die mittlere mit ihren puristisch-funktionalistischen Werken (Linhart, Stary) und die Jungen, die sich mit schwungvollen Formen (Ladislav Zák) bereits der "weißen Doktrin" entledigen wollten.Anhand des reichen und unveröffentlichten Quellenmaterials analysiert dieses Buch erstmals den architekturhistorischen Stellenwert der Prager Werkbundsiedlung: es thematisiert architektonische Fragen ebenso wie gesellschaftspolitische und dokumentiert die einzelnen Projekte. - Wir versenden aus unserem deutschen Lager heraus in plastikfreien oder wiederverwendeten Polstertaschen.
