The impact of Walter Gropius can be measured in his buildings--Fagus Factory, Bauhaus Dessau, Pan Am--but no less in his students. I. M. Pei, Paul Rudolph, Anni Albers, Philip Johnson, Fumihiko Maki: countless masters were once disciples at the Bauhaus in Berlin and at Harvard. Between 1910 and 1930, Gropius was at the center of European modernism and avant-garde society glamor, only to be exiled to the antimodernist United Kingdom during the Nazi years. Later, under the democratizing influence of American universities, Gropius became an advocate of public art and cemented a starring role in twentieth-century architecture and design. Fiona MacCarthy challenges the image of Gropius as a doctrinaire architectural rationalist, bringing out the visionary philosophy and courage that carried him through a politically hostile age. Pilloried by Tom Wolfe as inventor of the monolithic high-rise, Gropius is better remembered as inventor of a form of art education that influenced schools worldwide. He viewed argument as intrinsic to creativity. Unusually for one in his position, Gropius encouraged women's artistic endeavors and sought equal romantic partners. Though a traveler in elite circles, he objected to the cloistering of beauty as "a special privilege for the aesthetically initiated." Gropius offers a poignant and personal story--and a fascinating reexamination of the urges that drove European and American modernism.

Le premier tome de la collection, intitulé « Open Architecture », sous la direction de Xavier van Rooyen, débute par la traduction d'une interview de Go Hasegawa, Kersten Geers et David Van Severen, architectes de la jeune garde qui empruntent des nouvelles directions en termes de pratique par l'adoption dans leurs travaux d'influences puisées dans l'histoire, histoire qu'ils embrassent dans toute son étendue, posant ainsi les bases d'une approche de l'architecture que nous avons nommée « coexistentielle » qui se caractérise par l'omniprésence et la manipulation du passé dans le discours contemporain. Le premier volume est en outre né à partir d'un cycle de conférences qui s'est étalé sur deux années, de 2017 à 2019, et qui a regroupé des interventions de théoriciens, historiens et chercheurs de renom dans les domaines de l'histoire et de la théorie en architecture : Jacques Lucan, Dominique Rouillard, Roberto Gargiani, Catherine Blain, Dirk van den Heuvel et Véronique Patteuw. Ces conférences s'ancrent dans la période des années 1960 qui constitue une transition du modernisme au postmodernisme, à savoir une époque optimiste, politiquement engagée, florissante en imaginaires et en récits visuels, radicale dans sa pensée et dans la révolution qu'elle prônait. La volonté de revisiter cette période phare, de redécouvrir son héritage qui continue en outre à influencer le débat actuel, a indubitablement orienté la liste des conférenciers réunis dans ce premier tome. Aussi, de leurs interventions, à travers leur mise en parallèle, émerge le thème de la « forme ouverte » intrinsèquement liée à la notion d'« indétermination », deux enjeux qui s'opposent à l'unité formelle et à la composition déterministe promue par la doctrine héritée du modernisme.

A major voice in the architectural culture of the fifties and sixties, Sibyl Moholy-Nagy was uniquely engaged with modernism and modernity. As the wife and collaborator of Laszlo Moholy-Nagy, she was expected to provide him with the material that was crucial for his modernist mission, whilst trying to carve out her own subjectivity as a writer. As an architectural critic she was one of the early voices articulating doubts about the path modernist architecture was taking, demystifying the myths of the masters, Mies, Le Corbusier and Gropius, and questioning their heroic, masculinist approach. This book analyzes the significance of the life and work of Moholy-Nagy and explores the paradoxical aspects of the relationship between modernism and feminism. Published as part of the Bloomsbury Studies in Modern Architecture series, which brings to light the work of significant yet overlooked figures in modernism, it is both an examination of her work and legacy, and also a study on the roles of gender and of the changing nature of modernism in its trajectory from Europe to America. Drawing on personal papers, diaries, letters and lecture notes, as well as personal interviews with relatives, colleagues and students, this study brings to light the significance of the life and work of a remarkable woman.

Of all of the Brazilian modernist Oscar Niemeyer’s many built works, his Algerian projects are among the least well known. Beginning in 1968, Algeria’s President Houari Boumediene commissioned Niemeyer to build two universities and an Olympic sports hall, as well as a series of large-scale, never-realized projects across Algeria, in an attempt to forge a modernist, independent nation. In 2013, Jason Oddy produced an in-depth photographic survey of these buildings as they exist in Algeria today. The Revolution Will Be Stopped Halfway collects those images alongside archival documents and Oddy’s further research into Niemeyer’s Algerian work in order to explore the revolutionary politics that inspired and formed these buildings.
