Trade Paperback. Condition: Used - Very Good. Today there is a broad trend towards an architecture that could be called ecstatic - partly motivated by pure architectural ideas pushed to their limits and a shift from functional concerns to sensual ones. Ecstatic Architecture is stimulating, holistic and overpowering; its primary contemporary monument is Frank Gehry's New Guggenheim Museum in Bilboa. Ecstatic Architecture has opened up architectural thought and made links with historic building. The term encompasses buildings widely distant in function and time, from cave art to the new cinema centre in Dresden, from explicitly erotic architecture to buildings which have a spiritual role, from conceptual and cybernetic artefacts to pure architecture. It suggests comparisons between the current practice of leading architects such as Hans Hollein, Coop Himmelb(l)au, Nigel Coates and Egyptian, Baroque and Art Nouveau architecture. Essays examining the historic and philosophical implications are complemented by major projects in the genre by Frank Gehry, Will Alsop, Ron Arad, Odile Decq, Eric Owen Moss and Shin Takamatsu. Major rhetorical tropes of Ecstatic Architecture are clarified in two extensive photo essays by Charles Jencks. The surprise is that Ecstatic Architecture links such widely divergent strands and forces us to reconsider architecture in a new key. Very nice, clean copy, tight binding.…

Condition: very good. The Hague : Sdu Uitgevers, 1990. Hardcover. Dustjacket. 300 pp. Bibliography by Charles Jencks, English text. Condition : very good. - Why has New Modern architecture emerged! In this book Charles Jencks argues that Modernism has reappeared in a new form for deep social and psychological reasons. As in previous revivals it enjoys nothing so much as dying in order to be reborn and, having recently suffered a mortal blow from Post Modernists, it now has a new life, Like all Modernisms of the last two hundred years it is based on continual destruction-construction cycles, first clarified by Karl Marx, Modernism, according to this theory, is the style of the bourgeoisie in its guilt-ridden moments, a theory adumbrated by Adolf Loos, Marshall Berman and Tom Wolfe, This richly illustrated book brings these views together in a new, critical and amusing synthesis.Deconstructionist architecture, a paradigm of the destructive creative schizophrenia of Modernism, provides the leading philosophical and stylistic edge of the movement. High-Tech architecture, with its overpowering urge to innovate and dominate, displays its masculine potency which is here revealed as a cryptic religion. Dialogues with the major Neo-Modemists - Peter Eisenman, Philip Johnson, Richard Meier, Fumihiko Maki - show the ideology behind this latest Shock of the New. Some of them receive the ironic cross-examination typical of Jencks' critical method. Also included are two extensive pictorial surveys covering both Late- and Neo-Modernism. Some work of Frank Gehry, Rem Koolhaas, Norman Foster, Richard Rogers and other leading figures is celebrated and, on occasion, criticised. IM Pei and his Neo-Modern pyramid in Paris are devastatingly satirised. The return of the Old/New movement is presented in all its raw and troubling irony. Charles Jencks has continuously discovered and conceptually formed new trends in architecture and here he adds to his former definitions - Post- and Late-Modernism - the most recent fate of a movement that must always die to be rebom. Condition : very good copy. ISBN 9789012065412. Keywords : ARCHITECTURE.…
