"This book comprehensively examines architecture, urban planning, and civic perception in three modern cities as they transform into national capitals through an entangled, transnational process that involves an imaginative geography based on embellished memories of classical Athens. Schinkel's classicist architecture in Berlin, especially the principle of tectonics at its core, came to be adopted effectively at faraway cities in East Asia, merging with the notion of national polity as Imperial Japan sought to reinvent Tokyo and mutating into an inevitable reflection of modern civilization upon reaching colonial Seoul, all of which give reason to ruminate over the phantasmagoria of modernity"--

Are there architectural reciprocal effects between east and west? Do architecture and town construction reflect cultural identity and political pagings? How does the urban space change, if the political system changes? How do one in Berlin and Moscow deal with current architectural problems? In the area of conflict of these questions the German Russian project archxchange in experimental assemblies experiments on practical and theoretical level. The book documents the multilayered projects of blue area, magma architecture, Philip Pishik, Team05, team Russia and TransStructuraExpress, which developed in the context of a Workshops in Moscow in numerous illustrations and plans. Statements of considerable architects, city planners and critics of both countries supplement the spectrum. archxchange offers an inspiring panorama of different perceptions of the city-spatial development in east and west. Gibt es architektonische Wechselwirkungen zwischen Ost und West? Spiegeln Architektur und Städtebau kulturelle Identität und politische Umbrüche wider? Wie verändert sich der Stadtraum, wenn das politische System wechselt? Wie geht man in Berlin und Moskau mit aktuellen architektonischen Problemen um? Im Spannungsfeld dieser Fragen experimentiert das deutsch- russische Projekt archxchange in „Versuchsanordnungen“ auf praktischer und theoretischer Ebene. Das Buch dokumentiert in zahlreichen Abbildungen und Plänen die vielschichtigen Projekte von Blauraum, magma architecture, Philip Pishik, Team05, Team Russia und TransStructuraExpress, die im Rahmen eines Workshops in Moskau entstanden sind. Stellungnahmen von namhaften Architekten, Stadtplanern und Kritikern beider Länder ergänzen das Spektrum. archxchange bietet ein inspirierendes Panorama verschiedener Wahrnehmungen der stadträumlichen Entwicklung in Ost und West.

This title is a reference work on modern architecture by Kenneth Frampton, one of today's leading architectural theorists. Conceived as a genealogy of twentieth century architecture from 1924 to 2000, it compiles some sixteen comparative analyses of canonical modern buildings ranging from exhibition pavilions and private houses to office buildings and various kinds of public institutions. The buildings are compared in terms of their hierarchical spatial order, circulation structure and referential details. The analyses are organized so as to show what is similar and different between two paired types, thus revealing how modern tradition has been diversely inflected. Richly illustrated, this book is a new standard work in architectural education.
