  • Vernacular Revival and Ideology – What’S Left? by Peter Guillery
    Vernacular Revival and Ideology – What’s Left? by Peter Guillery This essay derives from a lecture first given at a Vernacular Architecture Group conference on vernacular revivals in 2015, reprised to generally younger audiences at the Bartlett School of Architecture and the University of Westminster. Its retrospection about vernacular architecture, anonymity, revival and left-wing ideologies was prompted primarily by a bemused awareness of recent advances in self-building. It seemed timely to try to get at how and why certain ideas retain traction. Then, coincidentally, young and old were recombining behind Jeremy Corbyn to reinvigorate Labour, and the self-styled design ‘collective’ Assemble won the Turner Prize. John Ruskin, William Morris, the Arts and Crafts Movement and Romanticism will arise (how could they not?), but only in passing, for a revisionist view of what has come since. It is taken as read that a strong commitment to architectural design as being rooted in labour and everyday or subaltern agency tallied with the emergence of socialism and was an important part of architectural thinking and history in late-19th-century England. This is an attempt to relate that history to the present in a new overview for a new framework. It adopts an unconventional or purist definition of what vernacular means that will clash with many preconceptions. Peter Guillery is an architectural historian and editor for the Survey of London, in the Bartlett School of Architecture, University College London. He is the author of The Small House in Eighteenth-Century London (2004), and the editor of Built from Below: British Architecture and the Vernacular (2011), and (with David Kroll) Mobilising Housing Histories: Learning from London’s Past (2016).

  • ARCHITECTURE of AFFECT Conceptions of Concrete in Brutalist Buildings
    ARCHITECTURE OF AFFECT conceptions of concrete in brutalist buildings Marijke de Wal MA Thesis 2017 Supervisor: László Munteán Department of Literary and Cultural Studies Radboud University Nijmegen László, köszönöm hogy hittél bennem 2 CONTENTS PREFACE 04 INTRODUCTION 06 I WORLD OF CONCRETE 10 ubiquitous utopias 12 critical regionalism 15 brutalist sensibility 17 II ARCHITECTURE OF AFFECT 21 concrete aesthetics 26 architectural polemic 27 as found 29 human habitat 33 refrain 36 urban poetry 38 kate wood 39 affective voices 41 nostalgic remembrance 42 refrain 47 radiant city 49 solid darkness 50 the alchemist 53 déjà vu 57 refrain 60 CONCLUSION 62 SAMENVATTING 67 REFERENCES 70 3 PREFACE ‘Het is lente maar beton bloeit niet’. As long as I can remember, this slogan adorns one of the many nearby railway bridges. Tasting the typographical delights of this particular urban art, I believe I was seven years old, must have marked the beginning of my feelings for concrete. Somehow it was able to comfort me—just being there. Only much later I realised that in concrete I recognised the mother I had missed. We both grew older, the railway bridge and me, and my love for concrete gradually developed into an interest in architecture with a preference towards the tactility of genuine building materials. I’ve always preferred touching and laying bare instead of concealing and covering up, which, I guess, is rooted in my perpetual quest for authenticity. And so is this thesis. Marijke de Wal Voorburg, spring 2017 4 It wants to be in touch. It wants to be touched.

  • Brutalist Architecture ‐ Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia Brutalist Architecture from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
    2/16/2016 Brutalist architecture ‐ Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Brutalist architecture From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Brutalist architecture is a movement in architecture that flourished from the 1950s to the mid­1970s, descending from the modernist architectural movement of the early 20th century. The term originates from the French word for "raw" in the term used by Le Corbusier to describe his choice of material béton brut (raw concrete).[1][2] British architectural critic Reyner Banham adapted the term into "brutalism" (originally "New Brutalism") to identify the emerging style. Hubert H. Humphrey Building, designed by Marcel Brutalism became popular with governmental and Breuer, headquarters of the U.S. Department of institutional clients, with numerous examples in Health and Human Services, Washington, D. C. Britain, France, Germany, Japan, the United States, Canada, Brazil, the Philippines, Israel and Australia. Examples are typically massive in character (even when not large), fortress­like, with a predominance of exposed concrete construction, or in the case of the "brick brutalists," ruggedly combine detailed brickwork and concrete. There is often an emphasis on graphically expressing in the external elevations and in the whole­site architectural plan the main functions and people­flows of the buildings. Brutalism became popular for educational buildings (especially university buildings), but was relatively rare for corporate projects. Brutalism became favoured for many government projects, high­rise housing, and shopping centres. In its ruggedness and lack of concern to look comfortable or easy, Brutalism can be seen as a reaction by a younger generation to the lightness, optimism, and frivolity of some 1930s and 1940s architecture.

    The voice of art history: Nikolaus Pevsner’s work for the BBC Review of: Pevsner: The Complete Broadcast Talks. Architecture and Art on Radio and Television, 1945– 1977, by Nikolaus Pevsner, edited by Stephen Games, London: Ashgate Press, 2014, 578 pp., 1 b & w ill., £90 hdbk, ISBN: 9781409461975. Pevsner: The BBC Years. Listening to the Visual Arts, by Stephen Games, London: Ashgate Press, 2015, 412pp., 6 b & w ill., £85, ISBN: 9781472407672. Émilie Oléron Evans In a career spanning two countries, two cultures and five decades, and as a pioneer of numerous fields, from mannerism, to the Modern Movement, to English art, Leipzig-born art and architectural historian Nikolaus Pevsner (1902-1983) earned himself a reputation both as an expert and as a polymath, and (to quote broadcaster and essayist Jonathan Meades) assumed the place in British culture of a ‘secular saint’.1 However, there is an inherent fragility in this position of outsider: in spite of being acclaimed as a national institution, Pevsner met with only partial acceptance from the establishment. As the solidity of his expertise was over-stretched by the scope of the subjects he tackled, the patron saint of art history in and of Britain often became a likely target of iconoclasm. Pevsner himself acknowledged the fact that after his dismissal from the University of Göttingen in 1933 on the grounds of his Jewish origins, the career that he attempted to rebuild in England had necessarily been ad hoc. In one of the radio talks featured in the collection under review, he stated: ‘My own work, you can take it from me, is entirely eclectic and yet seems to meet a demand.’2 This talk was given in 1952, after enough time had passed to allow the émigré scholar to take stock and realise that the professional trajectory that he had hoped to follow in Germany had not only been geographically diverted, but was also taking him further and further from his goal of specialising in a particular topic.
