Abstract

C'est un portrait du plus grand architecte du XXe siècle, le prophète des temps machinistes. C'est un voyage surtout, à certains égards un voyage sentimental, l'évocation du paysage intellectuel d'un homme d'un tout autre temps. Un voyage mélancolique. Un voyage en deux moments historiques que sépare la Seconde Guerre mondiale. L'exploration commence par la face nord de ce paysage, escarpée, un ubac plutôt froid, parfois glaçant, obstiné, dur à gravir, où s'entendent les oiseaux noirs : ramage et plumage du jeune Corbu, le corbeau jurassien. Obsession de l'ordre, lointains bruits de bottes. C'est l'enfance d'un chef puis sa maturité. Et voici qu'après une sorte de col atteint dans les années de l'Occupation, après un replat, l'aventure dévale vers les Trente Glorieuses sur un versant plus ensoleillé qui porte ses fruits, notamment dans la lumière du Midi. Et c'est la Reconstruction, la naissance du fada. La Cité radieuse de Marseille, ses querelles et ses trois avatars dans d'autres climats : quatre destins. Puis c'est la mort du vieux, Zarathoustra noyé sur la plage de Roquebrune, c'est la fin des utopies, et c'est nous autres.

Abstract

While he was working to complete the Allmannajuvet Zinc Mine Museum in southern Norway in 2016, Swiss architect Peter Zumthor asked Norwegian architectural historian Mari Lending to engage in a dialogue about the project. In meandering, impressionistic style, and drawing on their favorite writers, such as Johann Peter Hebel, Stendhal, Nabokov, and T. S. Eliot, their exchanges explore how history, time, and temporalities reverberate across Zumthor's oeuvre. Looking back, Zumthor ponders on how a feeling of history has informed his attempts at emotional reconstruction by means of building, from architectural interventions in dramatic landscapes to his design for the redevelopment of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, which conceived the building on a suitably grand urban scale. This book records the conversation between Zumthor and Lending.

Abstract

During his life, the German architect, scholar and political revolutionary, Gottfried Semper (1803-1879) experienced early fame, political exile from his homeland, international prominence, and seeing European architecture transformed by his influential body of ideas. In this biography Harry Mallgrave presents an account of the life, buildings and writings of the man he describes as a colossus of the 19th century. Mallgrave weaves a saga of Semper's youth, his fascination with the July Revolution in France, and his voyage to a Greece wracked by civil war. He speaks of Semper's design for the Dresden Hoftheater in the mid-1830s, his influence on Richard Wagner, and his plummeting fortunes after the political unrest of 1848-1849. Mallgrave traces Semper's literary resurrection that culminated with the publication of his book on style ; he follows his artistic resurrection with a practice in Zurich and Vienna. By the time of his design for the second Dresden Hoftheater in the 1870s, Semper was without architectural peer in the German-speaking countries and his ideas had pushed European architecture to the brink of modernism.
