Abstract

Dans cet ouvrage, des spécialistes américains et européens explorent cinq siècles de vies et de villes. En effet, dès la conquête, les occupants ibériques, espagnols d'abord, portugais ensuite, ont développé une stratégie de création de villes dans les somptueux paysages latino-américains. Que ce soit dans les sites vierges ou sur les emplacements des antiques cités précolombiennes, règlements, lois et théories étaient à l'oeuvre sous la férule des dirigeants pour assurer le pouvoir de Dieu et du Roi pour le bien des hommes et des femmes. Les échanges et influences réciproques entre l'"ancien" et le "nouveau" monde vont jusqu'à nos jours transformer utopies et réalités dans un fantastique laboratoire grandeur nature. La plus récente expérience en fut la modernité qui permit aux latino-américains de s'inventer une identité contemporaine. (extrait du dos de la couverture)

Abstract

Bringing to light the debt twentieth-century modernist architects owe to the vernacular building traditions of the Mediterranean region, this book considers architectural practice and discourse from the 1920s to the 1980s. The essays here situate Mediterranean modernism in relation to concepts such as regionalism, nationalism, internationalism, critical regionalism, and postmodernism - an alternative history of the modern architecture and urbanism of a critical period in the twentieth century.

Abstract

For several decades, 20th century architecture thrived in Cuba and a wealth of buildings was realized prior to the revolution 1959 and in its wake. The designs comprise luxurious nightclubs and stylish hotels, sports facilities, elegant private homes and apartment complexes. Drawing on the vernacular, their architects defined a way to be modern and Cuban at the same time ? creating an architecture oscillating between tradition and avantgarde.Audacious concrete shells, curving ramps, elegant brises-soleils and a fluidity of interior and exterior spaces are characteristic of an airy, often colorful architecture well-suited to life in the tropics. New photographs and drawings were specially prepared for this publication. A biographical survey portraits the 40 most important Cuban architects of the era.

Abstract

Jusqu'il y a peu, Miami évoquait une ville balnéaire pour milliardaires retraités new-yorkais. L'immigration cubaine a tout changé et Miami est aujourd'hui une des villes les plus jeunes, les plus cosmopolites des USA. Il en résulte une invention architecturale qui intègre des éléments passés de la ville qui n'a pas encore 100 ans. L'ouvrage donne un aperçu du climat de Miami aujourd'hui et s'attache à présenter les différentes tendances architecturales qui vont des réalisations néo-méditerranéennes aux œuvres contemporaines les plus décoratives en passant par le Tropical-Déco, le style Lapidus et les édifices les plus nouveaux des jeunes architectes et des architectes réputés qui renouent avec la tradition urbaine américaine.

Abstract

Lawrence Murray Dixon (1901-1949) was a native Floridian whose career started in New York where he worked for Schultze and Weaver, the firm famous for designing the Waldorf Astoria Hotel. Like most of the architects practicing in the boomtown that was post Depression Miami Beach, Dixon was outside the American architectural establishment-- he did not receive a complete architectural education, nor did he complete anything like a grand tour. He was nevertheless the most prolific architect practicing in Miami Beach in the late 1930s and early 1940s, building all types of commercial and residential buildings from the smallest house to the most lavish oceanfront hotels. Perhaps most importantly, Lawrence Murray Dixon was one of the first architects to build large-scale hotels in the Art Deco style in Miami Beach, bringing in the jazz age style of machine-age optimism and prosperity. Yet, what makes Miami Beach remarkable is not only the way in which Dixon and his colleagues used Art Deco to meet the local need for lower cost resort architecture, but the way in which they adapted the style to incorporate local motifs and historical styles. The result is the unique architecture of South Beach, as it is now known, the largely restored international vacation hotspot, and the country's first twentieth-century architectural district to be placed on the National Register of Historic Places. Dixon's archive, one of the era's most complete, is now in the collection of Miami Beach's Bass Museum of Art. Its drawings and marvelous duotone photographs (mostly from New York photographers Gottscho & Schleisner) form the backbone of this book and show these landmark buildings in their original, pristine state. Allan Shulman and Jean François Lejeune were afforded full access to this treasure trove of rare images. But their research and writing is not limited to Art Deco architecture in Miami Beach alone-- Shulman and Lejeune look to the World's Fairs, the skyscrapers of New York, and the skylines of other twentieth-century cities, like Tel Aviv, Rio de Janeiro, and Casablanca. This makes The Making of Miami Beach 1933-1942 the most complete, up-to-date and highly researched history of Art Deco architecture as it was adapted to the utilitarian, yet fantastic, needs of South Miami Beach.
