Of less immediate concern, but more significantly, the compe- tition also engaged a remarkably open, lightly program- med conceptualization of the urban space around the Reichstag. Observing the conditions of the invitation, the additions to the Reichstag were designed in some detail with plans, elevations and perspective views. The competing architects, however, took full advantage of the freedom allowed for their urban projects. They would obviously address the existing large place in front of the Reichstag, the Platz der Republik, but also reached out extensively to the Brandenburg Gate and Tiergarten on the south, the Park Bellevue on the west, and/or the area of the Lehrter railroad station to the north.1 The programmatic needs were real. The membership of the German Parliament had grown as had its need for an expanded staff with adequate archival, library and meeting resources.2 Uniting the widely distributed mi- nistries of the government in a single place was a com- pelling argument as well as the prospect of providing sites for the embassies of other nations. These practical reasons were strongly reinforced by ambitions for a governmental center of a representational character that would stand on a European scale and contribute to the vision of Berlin as a Weltstadt. For many, this representational drive was particularly strong, for the German nation and its democracy were new, deserving to be adequately marked in their own right and in differentiation from the near-by great east- west axis through the Brandenburg Gate to the Imperial Palace and great institutions at the river Spree — the most evident urban structure of Berlin and, despite whatever architectural excellence, all symbolizing a royal and imperial past.3 Burdening the prospects for the 1929 competition was the fact that just two years earlier an official competition for such an addition to the Reichstag and an ill-formed ambition for the Platz der Republik had results that were understood to have yielded only a negative conclusion: 52 53 63 54 that the competition had been too narrowly conceived.4 tion) and Peter Behrens (1868–1940) were among the was formed to extend equally north and south of the new invitees.8 Though extensively published, the results great east-west Berlin axis.

  • 1968, Tendenza and Education in Aldo Rossi
    1 Histories of PostWar Architecture 2 | 2018 | 1 Monument in Revolution: 1968, Tendenza and Education in Aldo Rossi Kenta Matsui PhD Candidate, The University of Tokyo (Japan), Department of Architecture, Graduate School of Engineering [email protected] MA Degree in History of Architecture at the Graduate school of the University of Tokyo. Research Fellowship for Young Scientists supported by Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (2016-2018). His research focuses on the architectural theories of Aldo Rossi and other contemporary Italian architects in relation to the contexts of postwar Italy. ABSTRACT In the 1960’s, as Italian architectural schools faced student protests and forceful occupation attempts, Aldo Rossi tried to reform the schools through the idea of ‘tendency school’ shared with Carlo Aymonino, and to reconstruct architecture as discipline and theory. His theory has two aspects: urban analysis and architectural project. The former presents a dynamic conception of the temporal evolution of the city, as if echoing the restless social situation of the time; the latter centers on the logicality of architecture represented by monuments. This study explores the meaning of this dualism between urban analysis and architectural project as an intent for revolution, and in light of this, investigates the idea of ‘monument in revolution’. This study was supported by a research fund from the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS KAKENHI, Grant Number JP16J05298). I would like to thank Bébio Amaro (Assistant Professor at Tianjin University, School of Architecture) for his aid in checking and revising the English text. Additionally, I would like to kindly acknowledge the many helpful suggestions and remarks provided by the anonymous reviewers, which have greatly contributed towards improving the overall quality and readability of this paper.

    Museums for a New Millennium Concepts Projects Buildings October 3, 2003 – January 18, 2004 MUSEUMS FOR A NEW MILLENNIUM DOCUMENTS THE REMARKABLE SURGE IN MUSEUM BUILDING AND DEVELOPMENT AT THE TURN OF THE NEW MILLENNIUM. THROUGH MODELS, DRAWINGS, AND PHOTOGRAPHS, IT PRESENTS TWENTY-FIVE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT MUSEUM BUILDING PROJECTS FROM THE PAST TEN YEARS. THE FEATURED PROJECTS — ALL KEY WORKS BY RENOWNED ARCHITECTS — OFFER A PANORAMA OF INTERNATIONAL MUSEUM ARCHITECTURE AT THE OPENING OF THE 21ST CENTURY. Thanks to broad-based public support, MAM is currently in the initial planning phase of its own expansion with Museum Park, the City of Miami’s official urban redesign vision for Bicentennial Park. MAM’s expansion will provide Miami with a 21st-century art museum that will serve as a gathering place for cultural exchange, as well as an educational resource for the community, and a symbol of Miami’s role as a 21st-century city. In the last decade, Miami has quickly become known as the Gateway of the Americas. Despite this unique cultural and economic status, Miami remains the only major city in the United States without a world-class art museum. The Museum Park project realizes a key goal set by the community when MAM was established in 1996.

The Fagus factory, with a radical break from the conventional design practice, represents for the first time a new expression of architecture, which develops space and form from function, takes into account the light, air and lucidity require- ments of its users and makes use of the new technical possibilities of construction with glass and steel in industrially pre-produced processing. Glass, which is actually an unsubstantial material,becomes a formative building material and mode of expression of architecture.The design concepts underlying this construction had a decisive influence on the development of twentieth century architecture not only in Germany and Europe, but around the globe.

  • The Tectonic Construction of a Façade. Milanese Buildings by Giovanni Muzio (1920-1940)
    The tectonic construction of a façade. Milanese buildings by Giovanni Muzio (1920-1940) Michele Caja, Politecnico di Milano ABSTRACT Analyze a project means to re-build the constructive principles and rules that compose it, without imposing new forms – which implies the risk of falling into empty formalism – but re-finding the implicit structure existing below it. An operational analysis of the object of study is not only a model to understand the construction of a project, but becomes directly instrumental to the project itself, assuming a perspective of historic continuity. In this particular case, the analysis focuses on some architectures built by Giovanni Muzio in Milan between the ‘20s and ‘40s of last century. The analysis focuses on the theme of the architectural facade, intended as tectonic construction or bas-relief architecture (Relief-Architektur), which reflects the transposition of the sculptural depth of the columns’ order on an architectonic façade. The theme of the facade is analyzed in regard to different aspects, as the relationship between the building structure and the proportional system of openings; the order of tectonic elements; the decoration. The investigation techniques used to highlight these issues are: the ratio of full / empty or horizontal / vertical elements; the structure of axes; the role of geometric figures; the layers building the depth of a façade; the components of decoration. MUZIO MILANO; FAÇADE ANALYSIS; CONSTRUCTION/ DE CORA TION 1. INTRODUCTION The rediscovery of the architecture of the past, from the '60s until the postmodern season, was born as a reaction to the modernist veto againsthistory. The ideological content of this reaction has been shown in the manner of use of classic elements, mostly used in demonstrative and provocative terms, in the form of ironic or iconic quotations.
