  • J. Max Bond Jr. and the Appropriation of Modernism in a Library Design in Ghana's Hot-Dry Climate Allan Balaara, Errol Haaroff
    J. Max Bond Jr. and the appropriation of modernism in a library design in Ghana’s hot-dry climate Allan Balaara, Errol Haaroff and Alessandro Melis Abstract The paper draws on Bond’s architectural influences and critical thoughts on architecture in the context of his design response in the Bolgatanga Regional Library, to advance the idea on hybrid modernism in postcolonial Ghana. Bond considered the Library his first independent work and the most profound. However, as an architect-academic working alongside some of the celebrated modernist practitioners, Bond’s Library appears fairly influenced. Bond’s expression of modernism in the Library reflects the mediation of three cultures: the northern vernacular building culture and the weather; the principles of Western modernism; and his hybrid experiences. His response, much like other socio-climatic responses known to late tropical practices in Ghana, demonstrated how the architecture of the marginalised1 manifesting in concrete, also constitutes a reflection of the postcolonial mediation of space. Bond achieved this through relating to both the ideological2 and experiential3 approach to modernist regionalism. Introduction: The Bolgatanga Regional Library and the scope of current publications The Bolgatanga Regional Library, located in the hot dry conditions of North-East Ghana, is one of many post-independence4 literacy interventions in underprivileged communities. The goal to decentralise the culture of reading by bringing purposed libraries closer to the doorsteps of those in remote areas in Ghana was timely. The development of regional libraries and subsequently district libraries were to augment the challenges faced earlier with access. Mobile van services had sporadically served these communities until then.

  • Le Corbusier at Chandigarh
    MIT Press Open Architecture and Urban Studies • The Open Hand Le Corbusier at Chandigarh Maxwell Fry Published on: Apr 23, 2021 License: Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License (CC-BY 4.0) MIT Press Open Architecture and Urban Studies • The Open Hand Le Corbusier at Chandigarh 2 MIT Press Open Architecture and Urban Studies • The Open Hand Le Corbusier at Chandigarh The city of Chandigarh came first into my recognition in 1948 or 1949 as the whiff of a possible commission wafted via the Royal Institute of British Architects, but remaining without substance. The Punjab Government may have at that time been sending out feelers prior to meeting Albert Mayer, whom they commissioned to make a plan, with the brilliant young architect Matthew Nowicki. However, the sudden death of Nowicki in 1950 necessitated the selection of a new architect for Chandigarh. When Prem Thapar, of the Indian Civil Service and the administrator of the project, with the chief engineer, P. L. Varma, called upon Jane Drew and myself at our office in the closing months of 1950, a complete plan existed for a city of 150,000 people, along with a detailed budget covering every ascertainable item, including thirteen grades of houses for government officials with the accommodation and the estimated cost set against each. There was also a generous infrastructure of social and educational services and provision for the supply of water, drainage, and electricity to every level of dwelling provided, so that an examination of the budget and the well-advanced Mayer plan demonstrated the clear intention of the government to construct a modern city on a site selected to serve the state at the highest level of design and execution and set a new standard for India.

  • Otto Koenigsberger and Tropical Architecture, from Princely Mysore to Post-Colonial London
    A Pre-history of Green Architecture: Otto Koenigsberger and Tropical Architecture, from Princely Mysore to Post-colonial London By Vandana Baweja A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Architecture) in The University of Michigan 2008 Doctoral Committee: Professor Robert L. Fishman, Chair Assistant Professor Andrew H. Herscher Assistant Professor Fernando Luiz Lara Assistant Professor Christi Ann Merrill Acknowledgements I would like to thank Robert Fishman, my advisor at the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor, for his enormous support, guidance, and mentorship. I could not have hoped to work with a better advisor than Robert Fishman, for whom I have tremendous respect as a scholar and teacher. I hope I can be as wonderful and generous a mentor and teacher to my students as Professor Fishman has been to me. I’ve also received outstanding support from other faculty at the University of Michigan. Many thanks in particular to my dissertation committee, Andrew Herscher, Fernando Lara, and Christi Merrill, for their feedback, support, and advice. Christi Merrill has been a particularly supportive mentor and a wonderful friend whose criticism and advice enriched this dissertation tremendously. Christi’s exemplar mentoring skills have informed my pedagogical thinking and the kind of teacher I hope to be. David Scobey, who served on my exam committee, introduced me to a wonderful set of readings on architecture and nationalism. I owe him a great debt of gratitude for mentoring me through the preliminary exams. Thanks to Lydia Soo for offering two great doctoral colloquia in our department, the first of which helped me write my dissertation proposal and the second of which provided a great support group for finishing my dissertation chapters.

    Cover of Architectural Design . 1957. Downloaded from http://www.mitpressjournals.org/doi/pdf/10.1162/OCTO_a_00039 by guest on 01 October 2021 Conversation on Brutalism ALISON SMITHSON, PETER SMITHSON, JANE B. DREW, E. MAXWELL FRY In this “Conversation on Brutalism,” first published in the Italian architecture magazine Zodiac , Alison and Peter Smithson talk with the British architects Jane Drew and Maxwell Fry. Of a slightly older generation than the Smithsons, Drew and Fry had designed a number of buildings for Le Corbusier’s project at Chandigarh, and would later complete other public works in colonial West Africa. In 1958, Drew organized the exhibition Le Corbusier: Architecture Painting Sculpture Tapestries with Theo Crosby at the Building Centre in London. This interview points to clichés that had already attached themselves to New Brutalism—“as found” materials, cast concrete, and the like—and shows the Smithsons insisting again that their project is ethical, not stylistic. Brutalism here (the “New” has been dropped, perhaps as a way of reclaiming the conversation from Banham) appears as an attitude, a way of pushing against a dominant culture, a mandate to be straightfor - ward and bold. “Communication” figures as an important keyword, as it does in Alloway’s text above. In contrast to Eero Saarinen’s approach with his General Motors Technical Center (1945–56), Peter Smithson maintains that communication should not “become an end in itself.” (This interview is characterized by a number of grammatical eli - sions, which are retained here.)—A.K. Mr. Smithson : The intention of the first period of modern architecture was that buildings should be machine like, and whether machine made or not, they should look machine made.

  • De–Tropicalizing Africa: Architecture, Planning and Climate in the 1950S and 1960S
    De–Tropicalizing Africa: Architecture, Planning and Climate in the 1950s and 1960s 76 docomomo 48 — 2013/1 n the mid–1950s, British architects Maxwell Fry and Jane Drew were among the leading figures behind the institutionalization of the Tropical Architecture field, contributing to the proliferation of Ipublications, international conferences and establishment of academic centers. During the same time, the global shortage of housing and United Nations’ development agendas for the “third world” brought a shift in planning priorities. Focusing in that particular moment, the paper traces the efforts for the de–tropicalization of Africa and planning practice alike, through the research activities of the Athens–based firm Doxiadis Associates and the writings and visions of Greek architect Constantinos Doxiadis.

Nelson, Chair During the first centuries of French colonial expansion, the imperial towns of Saint-Louis (Senegal), New Orleans (Louisiana), and Port Louis (on the Indian Ocean island of Mauritius) witnessed the emergence of buildings that combined European floor plans with patterns of design and site usage that were commonplace throughout the European and the non-European world. These components included wrap-around porches, detached kitchens, and a lack of interior hallways. Architectural historians describe buildings with these features as creole dwellings. These structures often existed within creole towns, which consisted of hundreds of such domiciles.
