Pritzker Prize to Doshi, Designer for Humanity in Search of a Win-Win
03.19.18 GIVING VOICE TO THOSE WHO CREATE WORKPLACE DESIGN & FURNISHINGS Pritzker Prize to Doshi, Designer for Humanity The 2018 Pritzker Prize, universally considered the highest honor for an architect, will be conferred this year on the 90-year- old Balkrishna Doshi, the first Indian so honored. The citation from the Pritzker jury recognizes his particular strengths by stating that he “has always created architecture that is serious, never flashy or a follower of trends.” The never-flashy-or-trendy message is another indication from these arbiters of design that our infatuation with exotic three-dimensional configurations initiated by Frank Gehry and Zaha Hadid – and emulated by numerous others – may have run its course. FULL STORY ON PAGE 3… In Search of a Win-Win: The Value Engineering Process When most design professionals hear the term value engineering, a dreaded sinking feeling deep in the pit of their stomach ensues.

Oral History of Edward Charles Bassett

Retired now, "Chuck" has been the head of design of Skidmore, Owings and Merrill's San Francisco office from 1955-1981. Those twenty-six years were a time of unprecedented growth and change to which Chuck not only bore witness but helped shape. Chuck Bassett was one of the SOM triumvirate of the postwar years: he was the West Coast counterpart of Gordon Bunshaft in New York and William Hartmann in Chicago. In 1988 the California Council of the American Institute of Architects awarded SOM, San Francisco, a 42-year award for "...the genuine commitment that the firm has had to its city, to the profession and to both art and the business of architecture." Although Chuck prefers to be known as a team player, his personal contribution to this achievement is unmistakable in the context of urban San Francisco since 1955. -
The Louis I. Kahn Collection
Solomon’s Success: Trenton Bath House to be Saved On Friday, August 11th at 2:54 PM EST, news flashed across the internet and around the world that the Bath House and Day Camp pavilions designed by Louis Kahn in the mid 1950s for the Jewish Community Center (JCC) in Ewing, New Jersey, would be preserved. The message was sent from architectural historian, DOCOMOMO US member, and Kahn scholar Susan Solomon. She is the leader of a ten-year struggle to preserve Kahn’s work in Ewing and literally wrote the book on Kahn and the Bath House (Louis I. Kahn’s Trenton Jewish Community Center, Princeton Architectural Press, 2000). Design of the JCC was the first major project of Kahn’s private practice. He acknowledged this work as inspiring a fundamental and profound shift in his architectural thinking. Kahn “discovered himself” after designing this project, considering the Trenton Bath House as his first opportunity to work out the concept of served and serving spaces. The archi- tectural fundamentals he discovered is Exterior, Trenton Bath House, recognizable in every building he designed subsequently. Trenton, NJ Kahn’s Bath House and pool (1955) and four Day Camp pavilions (photo: Susan Solomon) (1957) have been listed on the National Register of Historic Places and protected by a Ewing preservation ordinance since 1984. Due to extensive deterioration of the Day Camp pavilions, the JCC sought approval for the demolition of two of the four pavilions in 1966 but withdrew the request when the preservation community strongly objected. Although the Day Camp pavilions were not demolished, wooden barricades and wire fencing were erected to prevent access; deterioration accelerated. -

Hambright Drawing Canonical Ideas in Architecture UofA Lecture 6: Robert Venturi, Vanna Venturi House, 1959-64 1968 “…it is clear that the period around 1968 represents a generational if not a paradigm shift. These books begin to question the internal conditions of the discipline of architecture, particularly in America, which had, until 1968, been a relatively nontheoretical and professional one, focused primarily on the pragmatics of the architectural practice.“ S.

Looking for Leisure. Court Residences and Their Satellites 1400-1700
A Variation on the ‘Villa’ at the Bohemian Periphery: The Case of the Rožmberk (Rosenberg) Looking for Leissure Residence of Kratochvíle Ondřej Jakubec ‘There are meanings hidden behind the veil of stories.’ (Giorgio Vasari, Ragionamenti) In August 1582, Vilém of Rožmberk (1535–1592), the ruler of the Rožmberk family and the highest burgrave, met with his well-travelled brother Petr Vok (1539–1611) in Vilém’s recently-acquired fortified manor house near Netolice in South Bohemia. Vilém, the most important representative of the Bohemian estates, intended to build a new residence there, later to be called Kratochvíle. The purpose of this meeting was to discuss how to ‘erect a glorious building here’.1 The expression ‘glorious’ in the sense of ‘outstanding’ or ‘famous’ shows that from the very beginning, Vilém of Rožmberk meant his residence to be something exceptional that would attract the desired attention. The goal of this text is to introduce the Kratochvíle complex, the occasional and recreational residence begun at the end of the sixteenth century by Vilém of Rožmberk and later completed by his brother Petr, the last two members of the family line. The residence is well preserved, including its rich decoration, and provides a wealth of material for interpretation. What did Kratochvíle mean to its owners? How is it related to other, similar buildings of the period? Kratochvíle is quite unique among these buildings, as it is at once a pleasure house (Lustgebäude), a hunting lodge (casino del caccia), an occasional residence, and a villa. Kratochvíle’s uniqueness lies not only in its appearance and adornment but also in its origins and how it came to take on this particular form. -

Univ.-Prof. Dr. Petr Fidler 1 2 DANKSAGUNG Ich möchte mich an dieser Stelle bei den Menschen bedanken, die mir aufgrund ihrer Unterstützung, ihrem Beistand und ihrem Zuspruch Kraft gegeben haben, eine für mich so wichtige Arbeit zu schreiben. Mein allererster und größter Dank geht an meine Eltern Viktoria und István Molnár. Ihr habt mir nicht nur die Möglichkeit geschenkt, eine gute und fundierte Ausbildung zu erhalten, sondern diese auch in jenem Fachbereich genießen zu können, der mir Freude bereitet und mich ausfüllt. Durch euren Mut und eure Kraft habt ihr mich zu dem Menschen geformt der ich heute bin und dafür kann ich euch nicht genug danken. Ihr seid die liebsten, großzügigsten und verständnisvollsten Menschen die ich kenne. Ich hoffe, ich kann euch eines Tages das was ihr für mich getan habt in einer euch würdigen Art und Weise wieder zurück geben. Köszönöm szépen! Ein großes Dankeschön geht an meine bessere Hälfte, Thomas. Danke, dass du so geduldig mit mir warst, mich angetrieben hast als ich kraftlos war, mir Mut gemacht hast, als ich hoffnungslos war. Ohne deine Liebe und dein Verständnis hätte ich das alles nie so bravourös meistern können. Szeretlek! Außerdem möchte ich mich bei meinem Diplombetreuer, Univ.-Prof. Dr. Petr Fidler bedanken, der mir aufgrund seines kunstgeschichtlichen Fachwissens, das mir grenzenlos scheint, dieses Thema vorgeschlagen hat.

National and International Modernism in Italian Sculpture from 1935-1959
National and International Modernism in Italian Sculpture from 1935-1959 by Antje K. Gamble A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (History of Art) in the University of Michigan 2015 Doctoral Committee: Professor Alexander D. Potts, Chair Associate Professor Giorgio Bertellini Professor Matthew N. Biro Sharon Hecker Associate Professor Claire A. Zimmerman Associate Professor Rebecca Zurier Copyright: Antje K. Gamble, 2015 © Acknowledgements As with any large project, this dissertation could not have been completed without the support and guidance of a large number of individuals and institutions. I am glad that I have the opportunity to acknowledge them here. There were a large number of funding sources that allowed me to study, travel, and conduct primary research that I want to thank: without them, I would not have been able to do the rich archival study that has, I think, made this dissertation an important contribution to the field. For travel funding to Italy, I thank the Horace R. Rackham Graduate School at the University of Michigan for its support with the Rackham International International Research Award and the Rackham Rackham Humanities Research Fellowship. For writing support and U.S.-based research funding, I thank the Department of History of Art at the University of Michigan, the Rackham Graduate School, the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and the University of Michigan Museum of Art. For conference travel support, I thank the Horace R. Rackham Graduate School, the Department of History of Art, and the American Association of Italian Studies. While in Italy, I was fortunate enough to work with a great number of amazing scholars, archivists, librarians and museum staff who aided in my research efforts.
