He bellowed something about poodles sawing wood and women drawing - no woman, he said, could possibly be an architect. Nearly every important development in the modern architectural movement began with the proclamation of these convictions in the form of a program or manifesto. There is an entirely new chapter on the Danish architect Jorn Utzon, whose work, as exemplified in his design for the Sydney Opera House, Mr. She had the keenest eye, a gift like her brother's, for the design of space. They are able to measure the amount of order that is necessary for understanding and fascination to prevail even when chaotic actions take place and random objects appear on stage.

    Metabolists houses under construction ESSAYS PREVI: The Metabolists’ First, Last and Only Project BY EUI-SUNG YI With the special assistance by Bridget Ackeifi Cities in the sky, superhighways over the seas, floating layers of techno-villages. These utopic proposals for Japan were generated by a passionate and extraordinary group of young Japa- nese architects fueled by the futuristic vision to rebuild their nation. Parallel to their idealism, was the path of Peter Land, an Englishman by way of Yale and South America, tasked to plan housing for the poor. Incredibly, their idealism would cross and the Metabolists’ first and only project would be for a United Nations social housing development in a place very far from Japan: Peru. Eui-Sung Yi sat down with the group’s last living member, Fumihiko Maki, and the organizer of the project, Peter Land, to discuss this project and its place in modern urban design (read the interviews in pg. 65 and 68, respectively). Nearly 50 years ago, architect Peter Land initiated an The competition was an immense undertaking.

The twentieth anniversary of the Pritzker Prize and the presentation of the prestigious award to Renzo Piano made for an extraordinary event. Piano’s quiet character and almost solemn, bearded appearance brought an atmosphere of serious, contemporary creativity to the glamorous event. The great gardens and the classical salons of the White House were filled with the flower of the world’s architectural talent including the majority of the laureates of the previous twenty years. But perhaps the most significant aspect of the splendid event was the opportunity it gave for an overview of the recent past of architecture at the very heart of the capital of the world’s most powerful country. It was rather as though King Louis XIV had invited all the greatest creative architects of the day to a grand dinner at Versailles.

While possibly no capital city in the world is being renewed so intensely as Beijing, which presents both enormous potential and threat. Intrinsic to this research is a concept that the design culture of a city is formed largely by the national character, aesthetic value and culture distinctive to that city; these are the soil of design culture which merit careful observation and description.

  • “Shall We Compete?”
    5th International Conference on Competitions 2014 Delft “Shall We Compete?” Pedro Guilherme 35 5th International Conference on Competitions 2014 Delft “Shall we compete?” Author Pedro Miguel Hernandez Salvador Guilherme1 CHAIA (Centre for Art History and Artistic Research), Universidade de Évora, Portugal http://uevora.academia.edu/PedroGuilherme (+351) 962556435 [email protected] Abstract Following previous research on competitions from Portuguese architects abroad we propose to show a risomatic string of politic, economic and sociologic events that show why competitions are so much appealing. We will follow Álvaro Siza Vieira and Eduardo Souto de Moura as the former opens the first doors to competitions and the latter follows the master with renewed strength and research vigour. The European convergence provides the opportunity to develop and confirm other architects whose competences and aesthetics are internationally known and recognized. Competitions become an opportunity to other work, different scales and strategies. By 2000, the downfall of the golden initial European years makes competitions not only an opportunity but the only opportunity for young architects. From the early tentative, explorative years of Siza’s firs competitions to the current massive participation of Portuguese architects in foreign competitions there is a long, cumulative effort of competence and visibility that gives international competitions a symbolic, unquestioned value. Keywords International Architectural Competitions, Portugal, Souto de Moura, Siza Vieira, research, decision making Introduction Architects have for long been competing among themselves in competitions. They have done so because they believed competitions are worth it, despite all its negative aspects. There are immense resources allocated in competitions: human labour, time, competences, stamina, expertizes, costs, energy and materials.

  • Serpentine Pavilion 2014, Designed by Smiljan Radić 26 June – 19 October 2014 Serpentine Gallery
    Serpentine Pavilion 2014, designed by Smiljan Radić 26 June – 19 October 2014 Serpentine Gallery Press images at serpentinegalleries.org/about/press-page Smiljan Radić is the fourteenth architect to accept the Serpentine’s invitation to design a temporary Pavilion outside the entrance to the Serpentine Gallery in Kensington Gardens. The commission is one of the most anticipated events in the cultural calendar and has become one of London’s leading summer attractions since launching in 2000. Smiljan Radić’s design follows Sou Fujimoto’s cloud-like structure, which was visited by almost 300,000 people in 2013 and was one of the most visited Pavilions to date. Previous Pavilions have been designed Herzog & de Meuron and Ai Weiwei, 2012; Peter Zumthor, 2011; Jean Nouvel, 2010; Kazuyo Sejima and Ryue Nishizawa, SANAA, 2009; Frank Gehry, 2008; Olafur Eliasson and Kjetil Thorsen, 2007; Rem Koolhaas and Cecil Balmond, with Arup, 2006; Álvaro Siza and Eduardo Souto de Moura with Cecil Balmond, Arup, 2005; MVRDV with Arup, 2004 (un-realised); Oscar Niemeyer, 2003; Toyo Ito and Cecil Balmond - with Arup, 2002; Daniel Libeskind with Arup, 2001; and Zaha Hadid, who designed the inaugural Pavillion in 2000. Occupying a footprint of some 541 square metres on the lawn of the Serpentine Gallery, Radić’s plans depict a semi-translucent, cylindrical structure, resting on large quarry stones. Radić’s Pavilion has its roots in his earlier work, particularly the studio model for The Castle of the Selfish Giant, inspired by the Oscar Wilde story, and the Restaurant Mestizo, part of which is supported by large boulders.

  • Columbia University Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation
    COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY GRADUATE SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE, PLANNING AND PRESERVATION Spring 2019 ARCHA4349 Modernization and the Modern Project Instructor: Kenneth Frampton Teaching Fellows: Alireza Karbasioun (ak3936), Ife Salema Vanable (isv2104) Teaching Assistant: Taylor Zhai Williams (tzw2111) Class Meeting: Wednesday 11:00am-1:00pm, AVH Ware Lounge Building and architecture are cosmogonic arts; that is to say, they involve the creation of artificial worlds to stand against the chaos of nature and the erosive forces of time. In that sense, architecture is a material culture close to the necessities of food production and the practice of medicine. Irrespective of whether we have in mind the idiosyncrasies of vernacular architecture or the embodiment of power, building culture like all culture entails a mediation between innovation and tradition. At the same time, modernization as an ever-accelerating instrumental process continues relentlessly to such an extent that we are on the verge of losing our former capacity to assimilate in cultural terms the volatility of constantly changing conditions. Modern architecture since its inception has been continuously challenged to find modes of spatial, structural and material organization capable of responding adequately to new and often unprecedented circumstances. This lecture course has been devised in order to convey to young architects the way in which the Modern Movement may be perceived retrospectively as a series of wave-like formations which come into being, rise to their maturity and then fall away as they are overtaken by new impulses responding to totally different conditions. As the following brief history of the Modern Movement attempts to demonstrate, one may look at the past as a sequence of discernable impulses that each have had their own life span.

  • GRIGORY MASLENNIKOV " ARCHITECTURAL CONSTRUCTIONS" Architectural Constructions
    GRIGORY MASLENNIKOV " ARCHITECTURAL CONSTRUCTIONS" Architectural constructions Architecture is the language of giants, the greatest system of visual elements that was ever created by the humankind. Just like artists, architects are not inclined to talk much, because they are aiming to create tangible objects. Each creative professional has their own tools for communicating their thoughts and feelings. For me, the most complicated yet essential element of architecture and art is simplicity. Simple forms require perfect proportions and measurements that result in visual harmony. To achieve that in my works I experi- ment with texture and colours. It’s not an easy task trying to translate words into construction elements. But being an admirer of archi- tecture myself, I’m setting out on a mission to reimag-ine creations by leading architects of the world in paintings. It’s a complicated yet fascinating challenge. Please join me on my quest powered by imagination and by the artistic tools that will bring it into reality. Painting 1 Ettore Sottsass 170 х 120 cm oil, canvas The painting by the “patriarch of Italian design” is a reflection of his inclina-tion towards simple geome- try, bright colours and playful style. His architec-ture is intimate and is meant for people, not institutions. At its core is the tradi-tionally Medi- terranean approach to life - seizing every moment and enjoying simplicity. Painting 2 Arata Isozaki 170 х 120 cm oil, canvas, metal This work describes Isozaki’s own character. One of the leaders of the 1960s’ avant-garde movement, he learnt from Kenzo Tange and managed to introduce romanticism and humour into large-scale urban construction.

  • The Vision of a Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao
    HARVARD DESIGN SCHOOL THE VISION OF A GUGGENHEIM MUSEUM IN BILBAO In a March 31, 1999 article, the Washington Post? posed the following question: "Can a single building bring a whole city back to life? More precisely, can a single modern building designed for an abandoned shipyard by a laid-back California architect breath new economic and cultural life into a decaying industri- al city in the Spanish rust belt?" Still, the issues addressed by the article illustrate only a small part of the multifaceted Guggenheim Museum of Bilbao. A thorough study of how this building was conceived and made reveals equally significant aspects such as getting the best from the design architect, the master handling of the project by an inexperienced owner, the pivotal role of the executive architect-project man- ager, the dependence on local expertise for construction, the transformation of the architectural profession by information technology, the budgeting and scheduling of an unprecedented project without sufficient information. By studying these issues, the greater question can be asked: "Can the success of the Guggenheim museum be repeated?" 1 Museum Puts Bilbao Back on Spain’s Economic and Cultural Maps T.R. Reid; The Washington Post; Mar 31, 1999; pg. A.16 Graduate student Stefanos Skylakakis prepared this case under the supervision of Professor Spiro N. Pollalis as the basis for class discussion rather to illustrate effective or ineffective handling of an administrative situation, a design process or a design itself.
