Trade Paperback. Condition: Used - Very Good. Few twentieth-century writers on architecture and design have enjoyed the renown of Reyner Banham (1922-1988). Born and trained in England and a resident of the United States starting in 1976, Banham wrote incisively about American and European buildings and culture. Now readers can enjoy a chronological cross-section of essays, polemics, and reviews drawn from more than three decades of Banham's writings. The volume, which includes discussions of Italian Futurism, Adolf Loos, Paul Scheerbart, and the Bauhaus as well as explorations of contemporary architects Frank Gehry, James Stirling, and Norman Foster, conveys the full range of Banham's belief in industrial and technological development as the motor of architectural evolution. Banham's interests and passions ranged from architecture and the culture of pop art to urban and industrial design. In brilliant analyses of automobile styling, mobile homes, science fiction films, and the American predilection for gadgets, he anticipated many of the preoccupations of contemporary cultural studies. Los Angeles, the city that Banham commemorated in a book and a film, receives extensive attention in his appreciations of Santa Monica Pier, the J. Paul Getty Museum, Forest Lawn cemetery, and the ubiquitous freeway system. 'Reyner Banham's special skill was to take objects that we otherwise might take for granted and to open our eyes and minds to their visual and cultural associates. Unlike many historians he had an 'eye' and this came through in his writings. He was also a popularizer--ahead of his time. These perspectives are every bit as relevant now as they were in the past.'--Sir Norman Foster, Foster Associates 'Banham's stubborn insistence on the proper terms by which to measure the contemporary predicament reveals the depth and the breadth of his contribution to architectural history and theory. The modern, for Banham and for us, simply refuses to go away.'--Anthony Vidler, author of 'The Architectural Uncanny'.…
