Abstract

"For centuries, architecture has been one of the most publicly discussed subjects, by architects and users or inhabitants, but also by critics, theoreticians, historians, and writers. This book offers an overview of these discussions in the Western world, by means of four thematic trajectories, focused on housing, society, history, and art. Each of these four chronological paths starts in the 19th century, traverses the 20th century, and ends as closely as possible to the contemporary moment. The stepping stones are historical documents - texts, books, essays, and articles - that are analyzed, interpreted, criticized, and compared. The aim of this book is to show that architecture remains a vital subject matter for anyone interested in our contemporary world and its recent history. Reading, inquiring, and thinking are essential for making substantiated choices, with architecture as a starting point. The writings discussed in this book, both canonical and virtually unknown, are condensed into little pearls of knowledge, attached unto a string, and put together to form a kind of necklace - a talisman that can help us understand and face the present condition."

Abstract

This compilation of essays by the Chilean architect Smiljan Radic covers twenty years of written production. The texts were written for various reasons: on the occasion of the publication of a book, as lectures or to accompany an exhibition. They are an invaluable aid to reaching a better understanding of the work of this magnificent architect, but they can also be read independently as shrewd personal reflections on architecture and other disciplines. Radic's texts are almost always assemblages of several pieces or paragraphs that, although written by an architect, do not attempt to refer to a particular project or work.

Abstract

Alejandro de la Sota is one of the great masters of modern Spanish architecture, designing ground-breaking buildings such as the Civil Government (Tarragona, 1957-1964) and the Maravillas School Gymnasium (Madrid, 1960-1962). In this compilation of his most important essays, he reflects on the legacy of the Modern Movement and its atypical implementation in the sad cultural panorama of Spain under the Franco regime. It can be read as a chronicle of the evolution of Spanish architecture from the 1950s until the architect’s death.“One day I stopped working and tried to think freely about what I, and others as well, were doing. That very day I began to shake off many of the additions that embraced all serious thought about architecture, clinging to it like veritable limpets, crustaceans. I found the clean outcome attractive, and I thought it could also be called Architecture, or perhaps architecture. I enjoyed that lower-case a, which sufficed to resolve the issue that architecture has always had to resolve: the organisation of the world in which we live our lives.”
