Six Canonical Projects by Rem Koolhaas
5 Six Canonical Projects by Rem Koolhaas has been part of the international avant-garde since the nineteen-seventies and has been named the Pritzker Rem Koolhaas Architecture Prize for the year 2000. This book, which builds on six canonical projects, traces the discursive practice analyse behind the design methods used by Koolhaas and his office + OMA. It uncovers recurring key themes—such as wall, void, tur montage, trajectory, infrastructure, and shape—that have tek structured this design discourse over the span of Koolhaas’s Essays on the History of Ideas oeuvre. The book moves beyond the six core pieces, as well: It explores how these identified thematic design principles archi manifest in other works by Koolhaas as both practical re- Ingrid Böck applications and further elaborations. In addition to Koolhaas’s individual genius, these textual and material layers are accounted for shaping the very context of his work’s relevance. By comparing the design principles with relevant concepts from the architectural Zeitgeist in which OMA has operated, the study moves beyond its specific subject—Rem Koolhaas—and provides novel insight into the broader history of architectural ideas. Ingrid Böck is a researcher at the Institute of Architectural Theory, Art History and Cultural Studies at the Graz Ingrid Böck University of Technology, Austria. “Despite the prominence and notoriety of Rem Koolhaas … there is not a single piece of scholarly writing coming close to the … length, to the intensity, or to the methodological rigor found in the manuscript -
Le Corbusier, La Préfecture Des Hauts-De-Seine Reste Aujourd’Hui Un Témoin Historique De La Naissance Des Départements D’Île-De-France
Édito « Extra-ordinaire métropole » Placée sous le thème « Extra-ordinaire métropole », la deuxième édition du Mois de l’Architecture en Île-de-France se déroulera du 1er au 30 juin 2016 et proposera plus d’une centaine d’événements accessibles à tous les publics pour se retrouver dans un désir commun d’architecture. En 2016, la mise en place de la Métropole du Grand Paris, les enjeux soulevés par la COP21, et les besoins accrus de logements posent à l’architecture le grand défi partagé de la qualité de vie et d’un bien-être métropolitain. En rassemblant tous les acteurs de l’architecture – les élus, les aménageurs, les maîtres d’ouvrages publics et privés – autour d’ambitions renouvelées pour la ville, le Mois de l’Architecture a pour objectif de sensibiliser le grand public et notamment les jeunes aux enjeux et apports de l’architecture contemporaine et de mettre en lumière ce savoir-faire, cette culture d’architecture. « Extra » parce qu’à travers le travail sur la forme et l’espace, et les grands projets urbanistiques et immobiliers, la création architecturale a également le pouvoir de refaçonner le réel, de réinventer des façons de vivre et de travailler des Franciliens. « Ordinaire », parce qu’en construisant la ville, en offrant un habitat, un paysage, un cadre de vie quotidien et commun aux citadins, l’architecture contemporaine s’inscrit dans son temps, s’adapte et participe aux évolutions profondes de nos territoires et de nos mentalités. « Métropole » parce qu’une identité et une conscience métropolitaine qui transcendent le territoire ordinaire de l’aire urbaine sont en train d’émerger, parce qu’elle réinvente l’espace et le territoire, de l’ordinaire à l’extra-ordinaire. -

Villa Savoye, Poissy 1929-1931 the Ideal Villa
LE CORBUSIER Villa Savoye, Poissy 1929-1931 the ideal villa History of Contemporary Architecture Prof. Michela Rosso 1976 The villa is added to the French register of historical monuments. After restoration it has been opened to the public Since 2016 is part of the UNESCO World Heritage After the completion of the restoration project, the villa is now visitable See http://www.villa-savoye.fr/en/ Villa Savoye: 1929-1931 the villa in the pages of Le Corbusier & Pierre Jeanneret’s Oeuvre complète Savoye villa in the Oeuvre complète (1929) by Le Corbusier APPROACHING THE VILLA “When entering the property we can see the villa” A progressive discovery, a ceremonial experience culminating into a surprising, unexpected view. A MOCKERY of the ceremonial, quality of the approach to the villa given by the winding path leading to it, is contained in scenes of Jacques Tati’s film Mon Oncle (1958). The whole film is a humorous critique of architectural modernism made three decades after the completion of Le Corbusier’s iconic modernist work. The Villa Savoye in Poissy is situated on a smoothly sloping hilltop, in the midst of a field. The 5 points (pilotis, free plan, free façade, elongated window, roof terrace) are all accomodated within a perfect square. Pilotis (STILTS) raise the main living floor one storey above the ground so that guests can arrive and depart while protected by the building itself. The turning radius of an automobile determines the semi-circular outline of the ground floor that contains the reception hall, garages, and the servant’s quarters. -

10 Franc Banknote: Le Corbusier (Charles Edouard Jeanneret),1887-1965 Architect, Town Planner and Theoretician, Painter, Sculptor and Writer
10 franc banknote: Le Corbusier (Charles Edouard Jeanneret),1887-1965 Architect, town planner and theoretician, painter, sculptor and writer Le Corbusier is regarded as one of the outstanding creative personalities of the twentieth century. He was a universal designer who was active in many fields: as an architect, town planner, painter, sculptor and the author of numerous books on architecture, urban planning and design. Le Corbusier's remarkable ability to communicate his ideas helped to gain recognition for his theories throughout the world. His work is a modern Gesamtkunstwerk that combines individual disciplines into a complex whole. This is particularly apparent in his visionary urban planning projects. Le Corbusier pioneered a quintessentially modern approach to architecture. Urban planning Le Corbusier's concepts of residential building design are based on extensive studies of the social, architectural and urban planning problems of the industrial era. Le Corbusier always placed the human being at the centre of his creative principles. In his book Urbanisme (The City of Tomorrow), published in 1924, and in numerous other studies on this topic, he formulated some of the most important principles of modern urban planning: the city, he wrote, must be planned as an organic whole and designed in spatial terms to support the functions of living, work, recreation, education and transport. One important goal was to separate work and relaxation into spaces that would be experienced separately. Chandigarh (1950 - 1962) Although Le Corbusier was involved in numerous urban planning projects, only two were implemented: Pessac- Bordeaux (1925) and Chandigarh. In this latter project, Le Corbusier received a contract from the government of India in 1950 to build the new capital of the Indian state of Punjab, which was established after the Second World War. -
Los Alzados Inmateriales Como Planos Abstractos Y Su Control Geométrico
CAPÍTULO 5: LOS ALZADOS INMATERIALES COMO PLANOS ABSTRACTOS Y SU CONTROL GEOMÉTRICO. Como sostenía Scully, los alzados de Garches están sólo dibujados y no construidos. Son de papel. Se redibujaron posteriormente a la obra, para su publicación en “L´Architecture Vivante” y posteriormente en L´Oeuvre Complète. Son esquemas, y como tal han de ser considerados, Contienen errores, como el único tensor de la marquesina; pero demuestran el control de la Geometría en las composiciones de Le Corbusier mediante los trazados reguladores. El texto que los acompaña recalca el carácter de la geometría como mecanismo de obtención de la emoción en arquitectura. Tras una página doble homogénea en la que la que sólo aparecía un tipo de representación (la planta), Le Corbusier vuelve a una página doble con una composición multifacética. El montaje de esta página doble está compuesto por un texto, dos planos (el alzado delantero y el trasero), y una secuencia de 8 fotografías. Es la única página doble sobre Garches donde se mezclan estos tres métodos de descripción: el escrito del texto, el plano y la fotografía. No es por lo tanto un modo ortodoxo de representación. Al darse esta conjugación de los 3 elementos; es necesario que sean vistos de modos distintos: la lectura atenta del texto, la detención de la mirada ante la objetividad del plano, para pasar después a la continuidad fragmentaria y la superposición visual de la secuencia de imágenes. Lo visual y lo mental están continuamente relacionándose. Es manifiesto que estas dos páginas no pueden sino concebirse como una sola, dado que dos imágenes del recorrido “saltan” de la página 145 a la página 144. -

The paper argues that urban proposals of Le Corbusier arise from the study of the history of architecture. Through a com- parison of his journey impressions with his urban projects, this paper demonstrates that the ideas and perceptions that determined Le Corbusier proposals were extracted and interpreted from the study that the young architect carried out of the settlements and cities of Eastern Europe and the Mediterranean in his well-known Voyage d’Orient. Keywords: Le Corbusier, Jeanneret, Voyage, Orient, Pompeii, Buenos Aires, Domino, Rome, New York, Chandigarh. Introduction city is determined by two intersecting axes that give If you study some of the urban proposals of Le rise to a monumental centre.1 The entrances to the Corbusier, such as La Ville Contemporaine (1922), city are highlighted by enormous arches on the ends the Buenos Aires Business City (1929), the studies of the north-south axis. It is possible that the idea to urbanize Rio de Janeiro (1929) and New York of marking the entrances out with arches could have (1935), or the city of Chandigarh (1950), it could be come from Le Corbusier’s review of the city of Pompeii. -

Proceedings of the Society of Architectural Historians, Australia and New Zealand 30, Open Papers presented to the 30th Annual Conference of the Society of Architectural Historians, Australia and New Zealand held on the Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia, July 2-5, 2013. http://www.griffith.edu.au/conference/sahanz-2013/ Christoph Schnoor and Claudia Kromrei, “Immeuble- villas between Le Corbusier and Albert Gessner” in Proceedings of the Society of Architectural Historians, Australia and New Zealand: 30, Open, edited by Alexandra Brown and Andrew Leach (Gold Coast, Qld: SAHANZ, 2013), vol. 2, p 807-819. ISBN-10: 0-9876055-0-X ISBN-13: 978-0-9876055-0-4 Immeuble-villas between Le Corbusier and Albert Gessner Christoph Schnoor, Unitec Claudia Kromrei, TU Berlin One of the open questions for contemporary urban living in the city is the issue of density. What level of urban density is sustainable and appropriate for a healthy, enjoyable lifestyle as well as for the unfolding of public life? If in Brisbane or in Auckland, the predominant models are either the high-rise apartment building or the detached suburban house. Solutions may lie in the vast zone between these two extremes. One such alternative model is Le Corbusier’s notion of Immeuble villas of 1925. Despite its age of nearly a hundred years it is not outdated; nonetheless it has rarely been given sufficient attention by practitioners and historians. Le Corbusier’s term of the Immeuble villas should not simply be reduced to its one built manifestation as Pavillon de l’Esprit Nouveau, exhibited at the Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs in Paris in 1925.
