9783856763787: Forms of Practice German-Swiss Architecture 1980-2000

Synopsis

During the 1980s and 1990s, German-Swiss architecture gained worldwide acclaim on account of its constructional and aesthetic coherence. Its precision, rigour and sobriety were however only outer manifestations of a deeper ethical orientation, reacting against formal arbitrariness and postmodern relativism. Swiss architects resorted to the discipline of concepts and formal reductionism in order to recover a sense of stability, normality and cultural continuity. In Forms of Practice, Irina Davidovici provides an in-depth analysis of their work during the last decades of the twentieth century, discussing its cultural and theoretical conditions as facets of one artistic and cultural phenomenon. Richly detailed case studies and conceptual frameworks are brought up to reveal, behind the seductive appearance of Swiss architecture, the implicit conflicts between shared values and individual expression, artistic integrity and economic interest.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Die Deutschschweizer Architektur erlangte während der 1980er und 1990er Jahre internationale Anerkennung für ihre konstruktive und ästhetische Kohärenz. Mit ihrer ethischen Orientierung suchte sie Stabilität als Reaktion auf die postmoderne Beliebigkeit. Irina Davidovici diskutiert die kulturellen und theoretischen Bedingtheiten dieser Architektur als Facetten eines künstlerischen Phänomens. Ihr Blick von aussen richtet sich auf die internationale Relevanz dieses Phänomens und auf die gemeinsamen Wertvorstellungen bei allem impliziten Konfliktpotential zwischen individuellen Lösungen, künstlerischer Integrität und ökonomischen Interessen.
