"Showcases the bold, innovative, and colorful architectural designs of Alexander Girard. During the midcentury period, Michigan attracted visionary architects, designers, and theorists, including Alexander Girard. While much has been written about Girard's vibrantly colored and patterned textiles for Herman Miller, the story of his Detroit period (1937-53)--encompassing interior and industrial design, exhibition curation, and residential architecture--has not been told. This is the first comprehensive study of Girard's exceptional architectural projects, specifically those concentrated in the ultra-traditional Detroit suburb of Grosse Pointe. One exciting element of the book is the rediscovery of another Girard masterpiece - the only surviving house designed entirely by Girard, and former residence to Mr. and Mrs. John McLucas. Restored in consultation with iconic midcentury designer Ruth Adler Schnee, the McLucas house represents the culmination of Girard's Detroit design work at midcentury. Stunning color photographs capture the unique design elements-including the boldly colored glazed brick walls of the atrium-reminiscent of Girard's role as color consultant for the GM Tech Center. Original Girard drawings for the building plan, interior spaces, and custom-designed furniture document the mind of a modernist master at work and are made available to the public for the first time in this beautiful book."--Provided by publisher.

Warum treten Medien auch als Möbel in Erscheinung? Ausgehend von der Beobachtung des Fernsehens als Möbel entwickelt Monique Miggelbrink eine eigene Herangehensweise für die Untersuchung von Medien des häuslichen Gebrauchs. Die »Vermöbelung« des Fernsehens zeigt sich weniger in Formen und Funktionen des technischen Geräts, sondern vielmehr an seinem Gehäuse-Design und entsprechenden Einrichtungspraktiken. Anhand von historischem Quellenmaterial aus Einrichtungs- und Programmzeitschriften, Werbeanzeigen und Fernsehfibeln geht die Studie in einem Kulturvergleich mit den USA den geschlechts- und schichtspezifischen Bedeutungen nach, die sich im Design und Gebrauch von Fernsehgeräten als Möbel in der Wohnkultur der BRD der 1950er- und 1960er-Jahre herausbilden. »Miggelbrinks Studie bietet Anregungen für Untersuchungen gegenwärtiger Medienlandschaften, die von Streamingangeboten und dem ›Internet of Things‹ geprägt sind, und in denen das Mediale gegenüber dem Möbel zu dominieren scheint.« Sophie Gerber, Technikgeschichte, 87/3 (2020) »Der wissenschaftliche Verdienst der Arbeit liegt im Besonderen in der tiefgreifenden Beschäftigung der Autorin mit den gängigen Theorien zur Verhäuslichung.« Petra Witting-Nöthen, Vierteljahresschrift für Sozial- und Wirtschaftsgeschichte, 1 (2019) »Das Buch [eröffnet] eine spannende Perspektive auf die Weise, wie der Mensch mit Technik interagiert und darauf, wieviel unsere Wohnungen und Einrichtungen sowie die sie verarbeitenden Medien über unsere Gesellschaft aussagen.« Elina Potratz, der architekt, 6 (2018) Besprochen in: www.hhprinzler.de, 01.12.2018, Hans Helmut Prinzler H-Soz-u-Kult, 05.03.2019, Jonathan Voges

"Through the 1940s and 1950s, PAGON (Progressive Architects Group Oslo Norway) was an alliance of young CIAM-affiliated Norwegian architects known for their innovative joint projects. As a group, PAGON went on to become largely overlooked in the history of modern architecture, even though its individual members - which included Sverre Fehn, Jørn Utzon, Arne Korsmo, and Christian Norberg-Schulz - became defining figures in Scandinavian and international modernism. This book tells the story of PAGON for the first time, offering a definitive account of the group's projects, buildings, and approach, and demonstrating why PAGON's projects are ripe for reappraisal in the international history of modern architecture. It shows how PAGON's architecture constitutes a unique continuity between the Scandinavian functionalism of the late 1930s and the modern movement in the US, and an important transitional stage before the emergence of the better-known neo-avant-garde groups within CIAM and Team 10. Published as part of the Bloomsbury Studies in Modern Architecture series, which brings to light the work of significant yet overlooked modernist architects, this bookfills a gap in our understanding of mid-century modern architecture and highlights the internationally diverse nature of the modern movement"--
