Hardback. Christopher E.M. Pearson, Parkstone Press Ltd. Since the mythical Tower of Babel, humans have continuously tried to erect monuments to match their oversized egos. With ancient ziggurats, the Taj Mahal or the Empire State Building, man has for centuries demonstrated his force by raising structures for purposes both reli…gious and profane. As symbols of a people's values and a civilisation's grandeur, these monuments still fascinate and attract a public captivated by the creativity and ingenuity of these architects and stonemasons. Their historical message goes far beyond mere art history, for they also tell us of the lives and evolution of the peoples of the past, as does the Parthenon in Athens, many times destroyed, rebuilt, and restored once again. Hardback.

Couverture rigide. Condition: Neuf. Dust Jacket Condition: Neuf. Ouvrage abondement illustré de photographies en couleurs.« Depuis la mythique tour de Babel, les hommes ont toujours tenté d'ériger des monuments à la hauteur de leur ego démesuré. Que ce soit les antiques ziggurat, le Taj Mahal ou encore l'Empire State Building, l…'homme n'a cessé depuis des millénaires, de montrer sa puissance grâce à l'érection de ces bâtiments à l'utilité autant religieuse que profane. Témoignages aux mille visages, symboles des valeurs des peuples tels la dévotion, le patriotisme, la puissance ou encore symboles de leur grandeur, ces monuments fascinent et attirent aujourd'hui un public sans cesse renouvelé, fascine par la créativité et l'ingéniosité de leurs architectes. Leur place dans l'histoire dépasse la seule histoire de l'art, témoins de la vie et de l'évolution des peuples, tel le Parthénon à Athènes, maintes fois détruit, reconstruit, réemployé, attaqué, pillé et aujourd'hui restauré. Cet ouvrage, au travers 1000 monuments sélectionnés tout autour du globe, retrace l'histoire des hommes, des techniques, des styles et des philosophies nécessaires à l'érection de tant de splendeurs sur des millénaires, afin d'offrir un panorama des plus grands monuments mondiaux, tout en évoquant la passion de leurs constructeurs. Le lecteur pourra ainsi explorer les valeurs versatiles des humains à travers les édifices qu'ils ont construits, et comprendre ces structures comme des prouesses du genre humain.».

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Designing UNESCO: Art, Architecture and International Politics at Mid-Century represents the first full-length monograph on the genesis, construction and reception of the Paris headquarters of the United Nations' Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). The book traces the… long and complex birth of UNESCO's permanent seat from its conception in 1950 to its inauguration in 1958, showing how its history constitutes a unique nexus of modernist practices in twentieth-century international politics, art, architecture and criticism. Drawing on a wide range of unpublished archival material and examining critical reception of the building in the local and international press, Christopher Pearson's analysis operates on formal, structural and theoretical levels, revealing many of the largely unspoken assumptions of modern architecture at mid-century and elucidating the conflicted relation between art and science in the post-war period. The volume also throws new light on many of the major architects and artists of the period, among them Breuer, Gropius, Le Corbusier and Eero Saarinen, as well as Picasso, Moore, MirA3, Arp, Calder and Noguchi. Designing UNESCO is a compelling and original account of one of the most important, yet under-appreciated, buildings of twentieth-century modernism. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
