Couverture souple. Condition: Comme neuf. Edition originale. Paris 2011. 1 Volume/1. -- Comme Neuf -- Broché cousu. Format 22 x 17 cm ( 848 gr ) ------ 336 pages avec 170 illustrations . ******************** "" Les enjeux écologiques définiront-ils au XXIe siècle une nouvelle architecture ? Reyner Banham plaide dans ce livre pour une réconciliation de l'architecture et de l environnement. Cette question est abordée d'un point de vue technologique et esthétique. L auteur fonde sa réflexion sur l idée que l architecture est un lieu d expérimentation et d expérience acquise plutôt que la simple construction de monuments. Ce ne sont pas les bâtiments pris isolément qui importent mais le contexte, le milieu, le rapport entre l enveloppe et les réseaux. Cette approche écologique originale d une architecture pensée comme « milieu » développée par le groupe Archigram dans les années soixante est aujourd hui une référence conceptuelle et esthétique pour un grand nombre d architectes, d artistes et de théoriciens. Traduction par Antoine Cazé. "" ***********************ref 226.…

Hardcover. Condition: As New. The Catalogue Raisonnà of the Paintings of Ed Ruscha is a six-volume series of books co-published by Steidl and Gagosian Gallery. This is the second volume, which contains entries on 178 paintings completed between 1971 and 1982--from the artist's crisis at the onset of the 70s, when he "quits painting pictures," to his first major museum retrospective, which opened in March 1982 at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. The catalogue includes a comprehensive exhibition history, bibliography and biographical chronology, as well as a preface by the Editor Robert Dean, an essay by UCLA Film Historian Peter Wollen examining Ruscha's use of color as it relates to his use of language, and an essay by the late Reyner Banham. Each volume of the catalogue, designed by Bruce Mau, has a stitched binding and a cloth cover with silver-colored embossing protected by an embossed slipcase. Specifications for subsequent volumes are the same. Edited by Robert Dean. Essays by Peter Wollen and Reyner Banham. Clothbound, 9.5 x 11.5 in./408 pgs / 304 color and 13 b&w.…

Hardcover. Condition: New. Adapting the modernist ideals of prewar architecture to the needs of postwar reconstruction in Britain, Alison and Peter Smithson were among the most influential and controversial architects of the latter half of the twentieth century. As younger members of CIAM (Congrà s Internationaux d'Architecture Moderne) and as founding members of Team 10, they were at the heart of the debate on the future course of modern architecture; the uncompromising clarity of their Hunstanton Secondary Modern School (1949-1954), which stripped down the language of Mies van der Rohe to a rough simplicity, heralded the Smithsons' role as the leading exponents of the New Brutalism (a term they coined). As members of the Independent Group alongside Richard Hamilton, Eduardo Paolozzi, Reyner Banham and others, they participated in the 1956 landmark show This Is Tomorrow, affiliating themselves with the burgeoning Pop art movement in Britain. This beautifully produced and fully illustrated volume collects the most important essays published on the couple's work, from older texts by Reyner Banham, Peter Cook, Kenneth Frampton and Philip Johnson to the most recent texts by Peter Eisenmann, Christine Boyer, Beatriz Colomina and Louisa Hutton. The first publication in Poligrafa's new Critical Anthology series, it provides an essential critical context for the reception of New Brutalism in England. Alison (1928-1993) and Peter (1923-2003) Smithson met at Durham University in England and were married in 1949. Their Hunstanton School, now a Grade II listed building, announced a new style of construction that foregrounded concrete and repetitive, angular geometries; later works declared a socialist dimension to their philosophy, particularly in the exposure of interior functions.…
