Abstract

Concrete Jungle presents some of the most exciting tropical houses and tells the surprising story of lush modernist architecture. The clash of rational architecture with the organic lushness of tropical vegetation has created some of the most visionary and futuristic buildings we know. Based on the concepts of Modernist style and Bauhaus aesthetics, tropical countries like Brazil or Mexico have developed their highly unique visions of an international style and an architecture which is both timeless and desirable, which continues to be highly influential around the globe. In Concrete Jungle we embark on a journey through the works of architects influenced by the tropical modernist style, from Luis Barragán to Paulo Mendes da Rocha, to Marcio Kogan.

Abstract

Houses on the side of a mountain, on rocky terrain, or on cliffs by the sea - a perfect blend of contextual architecture and interior design that channels our shared desire for peace and tranquility. Whether because of their impossible location in many cases, or the irregularity of the terrain, the slope of the plots and their geological characteristics, innovative solutions are required in the planning of the structures and the building of the foundations.

Abstract

Summary: Charles Prosper Wolff Schoemaker (1882-1949) is the Frank Lloyd Wright of Indonesia. Between 1910 and 1940 he designed numerous buildings on Java, including Villa Isola and Hotel Preanger in Bandung, which are among the absolute highlights of colonial architecture. This publication presents his complete oeuvre. Histories of Dutch architecture often pass over the architecture of Dutch architects in the former Dutch East Indies. Wolff Schoemaker and Henri Maclaine Pont were the main architects in Indonesia in the 1920s and 1930s. They determined the architectural landscape and the discussion of it.

Abstract

Deze publicatie biedt een grondig inzicht in het omvangrijke oeuvre van Paul Dequeker. Het is meer dan een oeuvrecatalogus en brengt ook getuigenissen over zijn werk. De meer dan honderd foto’s laten de lezer bovendien toe de grote verscheidenheid van Dequekers bouwwerken de visu te aanschouwen. Architect Paul Dequeker (°Roeselare, 1930) trad in 1954 als broeder in bij de missionarissen van Scheut. Om zich voor te bereiden op bouwen in het vochtige tropenklimaat van Congo, bekwaamde hij zich in 1956-1957 aan het vermaarde Tropical Department van de Architectural Association School of Architecture in Londen. Een jaar later vertrok hij naar Congo waar hij tot in 1993 honderden gebouwen – kerken en kloosters, scholen en allerlei nutsgebouwen en zelfs bruggen – tekende en realiseerde. Hij deed dat met sobere, beperkte en authentieke streekeigen middelen en kunstvormen en met een moderne visie op missie en kerkopbouw. Daarmee zette hij zich in de lijn van de (liturgische) vernieuwingen van het Tweede Vaticaans Concilie.
