Portraits in Architecture Portraits in Architecture Episode Guide #101: Tom Beeby Chicago-based architect Tom Beeby is one of the great participants in the American post- modernist architectural saga, contributing a bold edifice with the Harold Washington Public Library in Chicago. Beeby’s work includes public structures like libraries, museums, and theaters. #102: Pier Carlo Bontempi Pier Carlo Bontempi is a Parma-based architect who is subtly exploring the vernacular forms of northern Italy. For fine art Italian publisher France Maria Ricci Bontempi built a pyramid and a labyrinth to house his library. #103: David M. Schwarz David M. Schwarz has a busy office in Washington, D.C. that designs sports facilities, concert halls and shopping centers around the country. But his most significant work was revitalizing the downtown of Ft. Worth, Texas. With the largesse of Ft. Worth native and philanthropist Ed Bass, Schwarz designed and built dozens of new buildings over decades, including a stunning European style concert hall and a public square, bringing walkable urbanism to car-crazy Texas. #104: Scott Merrill Scott Merrill was an early participant in the New Urbanist town of Seaside, Florida, a small resort town in the Panhandle that marked the beginning of a radical new way of building towns and neighborhoods. Merrill's work blends the ideals of New Urbanism with a sensitivity to American vernacular structures and thoughtful land use that is uniquely of his state.

But it his commitment to ensuring traditional architects receive a respected role in establishment circles and publications that marks a lifetime of exploring avenues of design seemingly lost to history and the overwhelming commitment to modernism. #106: Marc and Nada Breitman Marc and Nada Breitman live and work in a charming part of Paris very close to the Louvre. But their work focusing on housing for people on fixed incomes or low-wage work. They create public housing that retains the charm of a city with an eye insuring that residents don't feel socially stigmatized by the appearance of their housing.

Local, regional and national traditions provide the opportunity for communities to retain their individuality with the advance of globalisation. Through tradition we can preserve our sense of identity and counteract social alienation. People must have the freedom to maintain their traditions. Traditional buildings and places maintain a balance with nature and society that has been developed over many generations.

    Robert Adam 2017 Laureate Contents Press Release ……………………………………………………………… 2 Images …………………………………………………………………….. 4 Driehaus Prize ……………………………………………………………. 13 Ceremony Choregic Monument Past Laureates Henry Hope Reed Award …………………………………………………. 14 Medal Past Recipients Jury ……………………………………………………………………….. 15 Press Release Robert Adam named 15th Richard H. Driehaus Prize Laureate James S. Ackerman posthumously presented the Henry Hope Reed Award Robert Adam, an architect known for his scholarship as well as his practice, has been named the recipient of the 2017 Richard H. Driehaus Prize at the University of Notre Dame. Adam, the 15th Driehaus Prize laureate, will be awarded the $200,000 prize and a bronze miniature of the Choregic Monument of Lysikrates during a ceremony on March 25 (Saturday) in Chicago. In conjunction with the Driehaus Prize, the $50,000 Henry Hope Reed Award, given annually to an individual working outside the practice of architecture who has supported the cultivation of the traditional city, its architecture and art, will be presented posthumously to architectural historian James S. Ackerman. Additionally, on the occasion of the 15th anniversary of the Driehaus Prize, the jury has elected to honor the Congress for the New Urbanism (CNU) with a special award for contributions to the public realm. “Throughout his career, Robert Adam has engaged the critical issues of our time, challenging contemporary attitudes toward architecture and urban design. He has written extensively on the tensions between globalism and regionalism as we shape our built environment,” said Michael Lykoudis, Driehaus Prize jury chair and Francis and Kathleen Rooney Dean of Notre Dame’s School of Architecture. “Sustainability is at the foundation of his work, achieved through urbanism and architecture that is respectful of local climate, culture and building customs.” Adam received his architectural education at Westminster University and was a Rome Scholar in 1972–73.

  • Nuovo Classicismo: L'architettura Come Senso Di Appartenenza
    Nuovo classicismo: l’architettura come senso di appartenenza Nuovo classicismo: l’architettura come senso di appartenenzadi Giuseppe Baiocchi e Liliane Jessica Tami del 28/02/2019 L’architettura post-moderna detiene oramai, dagli anni sessanta del Novecento, un primato incontrastato sia all’interno delle Accademie Universitarie, sia nel primato delle costruzioni. Nonostante tale indirizzo dottrinale sia molto marcato, timidamente, con quieta grandezza e sobria eleganza, diversi architetti hanno riscoperto le forme e le armonie dell’architettura classica e revivalista.I più importanti teorici del nuovo stile architettonico, denominato Neourbanesimo e Nuovo Classicismo, sono Pier Carlo Bontempi (1954), Quinlan Terry (1937) e Léon Krier (1946), quest’ultimo architetto di fiducia del principe di Galles Charles Philip Arthur George Mountbatten-Windsor (1948). Nella foto da sinistra a destra: Pier Carlo Bontempi (Fornovo di Taro, 1954) è un architetto italiano, esponente del Neourbanesimo e del Nuovo classicismo. Egli pone una particolare enfasi in merito al contesto urbano e alla continuità con le tradizioni architettoniche; John Quinlan Terry CBE (24 luglio 1937 a Hampstead) è un architetto britannico. È stato educato alla Bryanston School e alla Architectural Association . Era un allievo dell’architetto Raymond Erith , con il quale ha formato la partnership Erith & Terry; Léon Krier (7 aprile 1946) è un architetto lussemburghese , teorico dell’architettura e urbanista , il primo e più importante critico del Modernismo architettonico e fautore di New Traditional Architecture e New Urbanism . In un’epoca svuotata dall’elemento del sacro, dal modesto studio dei luoghi e da una approssimativa progettazione in moduli, il gusto irrazionale è arrivato ad erigere il brutalismo e il parametrismo.
