Much of modernist architecture was inspired by the emergence of internationalism: the ethics and politics of world peace, justice and unity through global collaboration. Mark Crinson here shows how the ideals represented by the Tower of Babel - built, so the story goes, by people united by one language - were effectively adapted by internationalist architecture, its styles and practices, in the modern period. Focusing particularly on the points of convergence between modernist and internationalist trends in the 1920s, and again in the immediate post-war years, he underlines how such architecture utilised the themes of a cooperative community of builders and a common language of forms. The 'International Style' was one manifestation of this new way of thinking, but Crinson shows how the aims of modernist architecture frequently engaged with the substance of an internationalist mindset in addition to sharing surface similarities. Bringing together the visionaries of internationalist projects - including Le Corbusier, Bruno Taut, Berthold Lubetkin, Walter Gropius and Mies van der Rohe - Crinson interweaves ideas of evolution, ecology, utopia, regionalism, socialism, free trade, and anti-colonialism to reveal the possibilities heralded by modernist architecture.

This book provides a comprehensive, critical overview of the developments in architecture from 1960 to 2010. The first section provides a presentation of major movements in architecture after 1960, and the second, a geographic survey that covers a wide range of territories around the world. This book not only reflects the different perspectives of its various authors, but also charts a middle course between the 'aesthetic' histories that examine architecture solely in terms of its formal aspects, and the more 'ideological' histories that subject it to a critique that often skirts the discussion of its formal aspects.

""This foundation-level training manual for social work students and practitioners will help readers become more effective agents of change through understanding the meaning, principles, and characteristics of facilitative leadership. Facilitative leadership is a form of leadership in which the leader directs a group but does not dictate the outcome of the group discussion. This form of leadership is essential for, and uniquely suited to, social workers whose entire profession is based on helping clients determine their own goals and how to achieve them.The book describes, step-by-step, the sk

For the engineers of Bollinger + Grohmann it is of central importance to understand design and construction in the planning process as a unit. That is why they see their task as further development and reinforcement of the respective design: in dialogue with the architects and other technical planners - and not least through their knowledge of how to design load-bearing structures. In order for innovative structures to be created, their genesis cannot be based just on structural and mechanical principles, but is instead the product of experience with materials, construction methods and technologies. This examination of interdisciplinary topics, as well as an open and interested consideration of adjacent disciplines, led to the development of an integral planning approach that allows the office to react to the wide range of requirements of worldwide projects.The many spectacular constructions of recent years speak for themselves: The limits of feasibility seem to no longer apply, mathematical laws are assigned a new dynamism, and common structures are newly interpreted. The third volume of the DETAIL engineering series presents the broad spectrum of services of this engineering office and uses four selected buildings to describe the different processes in the individual project phases from the point of view of those involved.

Lateinamerika ist seit vielen Jahrzehnten ein wichtiger Ort für die Architektur. Altmeister wie Barragán, Dieste, Lina Bo Bardi und Niemeyer waren und sind wegweisend für das architektonische Gestalten weltweit. Ihr Umgang mit Farben, Materialien und Wänden hat die architektonische Moderne nachhaltig beeinflusst. Seitdem und insbesondere in den letzten fünfzehn Jahren hat sich aber die Architektur auf diesem Kontinent weiterentwickelt und es ist eine lebendige und äußerst kreative Architekturszene entstanden. Die Arbeit der dortigen Architekten und Stadtplaner wird vielfach von sozialen Fragen geleitet, etwa dem Umgang mit ungeplanten Siedlungen am Rande der Großstädte, der Knappheit von Wohnraum und öffentlichem Raum, der Verfügbarkeit bezahlbarer Transportmittel, die wichtige Rolle von kultureller Infrastruktur wie Schulen, Bibliotheken oder Sportstätten als Katalysatoren für eine Nachbarschaft. In diesem Kontext werden zahlreiche Projekte erörtert, die quer durch Lateinamerika für Diskussion und Impulse gesorgt haben. Aufsehenerregende Projekte wie die Santo Domingo-Bibliothek in Medellín, Kolumbien, von Giancarlo Mazzanti, das Liceo Franco-Mexicano von Alberto Kalach in Mexiko oder die Arbeiten von Alejandro Aravena in Chile belegen, dass die neuere Architektur auch in formaler und ästhetischer Hinsicht den Vergleich mit den Vätern nicht zu scheuen braucht. Felipe Hernández ist Architekt und Professor für Architekturdesign, Architekturgeschichte und Architekturtheorie an der Universität Liverpool. Seinen MA in Architektur und Kritischer Theorie schloss er 1998 mit Auszeichnung ab und promovierte 2003 an der Universität Nottingham. Er unterrichtete an der Bartlett School of Architecture (UCL) und den Universitäten Nottingham, Sheffield, East London und Nottingham Trent im Vereinigten Königreich sowie an der Brown University und Roger Williams University in den Vereinigten Staaten. Felipe Hernández hat zahlreiche Aufsätze und Artikel veröffentlicht, die sich mit der Lage der lateinamerikanischen Großstädte in der heutigen Zeit beschäftigen und die Vielfalt der architektonischen Verfahren zeigen, die gleichzeitig bei der kontinuierlichen Neugestaltung der Städte des Kontinents mitwirken. Latin America has been an important place for architecture for many decades. Masters like Barragán, Dieste, Lina Bo Bardi, and Niemeyer pointed the way for architectural design all over the world, and they continue to do so today. Their approach to colors, materials, and walls had a deep and lasting influence on architectural modernism. Since then, however - and especially in the last fifteen years - architecture on the continent has continued to evolve, and a lively and extremely creative architecture scene has developed. The work of Latin American architects and city planners is often guided by social issues, for example, the approach to informal settlements on the outskirts of big cities, the scarcity of housing and public space, the availability of affordable transportation, and the important role of cultural infrastructure - such as schools, libraries, and sports facilities - as a catalyst for neighborhoods. Within this context, the book considers numerous projects that have prompted discussion and provided fresh impetus all across Latin America. Outstanding projects like the Santo Domingo Library in Medellin, Colombia, by Giancarlo Mazzanti; Alberto Kalach's Liceo Franco-Mexicano in Mexico; and the works of Alejandro Aravena in Chile show that recent Latin American architecture is more than capable of holding its own beside the works of the founders. Felipe Hernández is an architect and professor of Architectural Design, History and Theory at The University of Liverpool. He attended an MA in Architecture and Critical Theory, graduating with distinction in 1998, and received his PhD from the University of Nottingham in 2003. He has taught at the Bartlett School of Architecture (UCL), The Universities of Nottingham, Sheffield, East London and Nottingham Trent in the United Kingdom as well as at Brown University and Roger Williams University in USA. Felipe has published numerous essays and articles examining the situation of contemporary Latin American cities and revealing the multiplicity of architectural practices that operate simultaneously in the constant re-shaping of the continent's cities.
