Trade Paperback. Condition: Used - Good. From the Gothic to the contemporary, glass has transformed thestructural, formal, and philosophical principles of architecture. In The GlassState, Annette Fierro views the many meanings of transparency in architecture.Specifically, she analyzes the transparent monumental buildings that we…re built inParis between 1981 and 1998 as part of Francois Mitterrand's program of GrandsProjets. The Grands Projets provide a rare opportunity to study a finite set ofbuildings constructed of similar materials, in the same time period, in a specificurban landscape, and with related ideological missions.Fierro employs a 'discourseof the detail,' in which the smallest architectural detail manifests the political, theoretical, and urban contexts of the building's design and construction. Sheexamines the paradox of the most pared down architectural configurations being usedto support the most complex meanings. Intrinsic to Mitterrand's glass buildings inParis, for example, is a political concept: the metaphor of accessibility as a meansof breaking open cultural institutions previously closed to the public.In additionto the structures of the Grands Projets -- the Institut du Monde Arabe, the Grandeand Petite Pyramides du Louvre, the glass greenhouses at utopian park projects at LaVillette and Andre Citro?n and the Bibliotheque nationale de France -- Fierrodiscusses the Fondation Cartier and two precedent structures, the Centre GeorgesPompidou and the Eiffel Tower. A study of the technological, theoretical, and cultural significance of the transparency of the glass structures of Francois Mitterrand's Grands Projets in Paris. shelf wear on bottom edge.

Hardback. Condition: New. Comparing the work of Archigram and High-Tech architects thematically, this book explores the historical and cultural context of London to reveal their influences and interconnections and why two such radical groups emerged from a seemingly conservative city. This book examines the relationships between… the work of Archigram and that of the British High-Tech architects, groups that were based in London and developing in the 1960s and 70s. While one group consisted of academics and artists known for their humour and eccentricity and the other were a group of deadly serious architects emerging to international proliference, this book argues that they shared uncannily similar impulses. There is the self-evident commonality of language: overblown machines, kits-of-parts of pieces and components, and a disintegration of building as object in favour of the constituent elements. Underlying both movements is a mutual, undying optimism in technological process and technological expression. Set within the rich history and culture of London, the book makes its comparisons by exploring central shared ideas: utopia, engineering, theatricality, infrastructure and narrative, and the iconography of war machinery.
