Remembering Robert Venturi, a Modern Mannerist
The Plan Journal 4 (1): 253-259, 2019 doi: 10.15274/tpj.2019.04.01.1 Remembering Robert Venturi, a Modern Mannerist In Memoriam / THEORY Maurizio Sabini After the generation of the “founders” of the Modern Movement, very few architects had the same impact that Robert Venturi had on architecture and the way we understand it in our post-modern era. Aptly so and with a virtually universal consensus, Vincent Scully called Complexity and Contradiction in Architecture (1966) “probably the most important writing on the making of architecture since Le Corbusier’s Vers une architecture, of 1923.” 1 And I would submit that no other book has had an equally consequential impact ever since, even though Learning from Las Vegas (published by Venturi with Denise Scott Brown and Steven Izenour in 1972) has come quite close. As Aaron Betsky has observed: Like the Modernism that Venturi sought to nuance and enrich, many of the elements for which he argued were present in even the most reduced forms of high Modernism. Venturi was trying to save Modernism from its own pronouncements more than from its practices. To a large extent, he won, to the point now that we cannot think of architecture since 1966 without reference to Robert Venturi.2 253 The Plan Journal 4 (1): 253-259, 2019 - doi: 10.15274/tpj.2019.04.01.1 www.theplanjournal.com Figure 1.

Protecting Postmodern Historicism: Identification, vE aluation, and Prescriptions for Preeminent Sites Abstract Just as architectural history traditionally takes the form of a march of styles, so too do preservationists repeatedly campaign to save seminal works of an architectural manner several decades after its period of prominence. This is currently happening with New Brutalism and given its age and current unpopularity will likely soon befall postmodern historicism. In hopes of preventing the loss of any of the manner’s preeminent works, this study provides professionals with a framework for evaluating the significance of postmodern historicist designs in relation to one another. Through this, the limited resources required for large-scale preservation campaigns can be correctly dedicated to the most emblematic sites. Three case studies demonstrate the application of these criteria and an extended look at recent preservation campaigns provides lessons in how to best proactively preserve unpopular sites. -

react/review | volume 1 13 Outside of Architecture: Between Mediating and Navigating the Air Katarzyna Balug Air is the physical connection between us and our environment, transmitting our sense experience of light, heat, sound, taste, smell and pressure. But its very transparency prevents us from observing its continuous transformations. Atmosfields and pneumatic environments aim to reveal the aesthetic of air, both in the natural states which make up the atmosphere and by using thin membranes to manifest their motions and forces, in order to extend and change our direct experience of air and our relation to our atmospheric environment. – Graham Stevens1 Reveal, make manifest, extend, and relate: English artist Graham Stevens was uniquely articulate in capturing, in words and structures, the capacity of the inflatable form to condition the human’s relationship with her environment. Throughout 1960s Western Europe and the United States, young architects and artists like Stevens adopted the materials and aesthetics of the lunar Space Race to create immersive air-filled environments especially attuned to Earth. However, there was a significant difference in the operating logics of space structures and the Earth-bound forms they informed. While the pursuit of spaceflight had, since the mid-nineteenth century, emphasized the keeping out of the environment and the production of an artificial, fully controlled and enclosed atmosphere, inflatable architectures invited the outside in. These forms continually registered and mediated the relationship 1 Graham Stevens, “Pneumatics and Atmospheres,” Architectural Digest, no. 3 (1972): 166. react/review | volume 1 51 between circulating air and the plastic membrane, which together formed a structure without rigidity, and the body that occupied the resulting space. -

A Model for Reading Architectural Narrative in Different
AURUM MÜHENDİSLİK SİSTEMLERİ VE MİMARLIK DERGİSİ AURUM JOURNAL OF ENGINEERING SYSTEMS AND ARCHITECTURE Cilt 1, Sayı 2 | Kış 2017 Volume 1, No. 2 | Winter 2017, 49-58 A MODEL FOR READING ARCHITECTURAL NARRATIVE IN DIFFERENT Türkan Nihan HACIÖMEROĞLU1 1 Eskisehir Osmangazi University, Faculty of Engineering and Architecture, Department of Architecture. [email protected] , [email protected] Abstract When Daniel Libeskind proposed the possibility of different dimensions of architecture other than length, height and width, he offered reading, writing and memory. Reading architecture as he explains is not about reading text but about trying to understand a not “clearly explicit language” of architecture. (Libeskind, 2004) The aim of this paper is to propose a model for reading architectural narrative in different media by using architectural criticism as a base. Initially, the study is based on discussions on architectural criticism, narrative and representation, in architecture, literature and cinema, in order to understand the similarities and differences between the concepts of time, movement and space. Using these concepts, a comparative analysis table is created and the outcomes of these comparisons are inserted as data for different, yet inter-linked, comparisons and analysis tables. A num- ber of keywords are utilized to set a model for reading architectural narrative. Such alternative readings estab- lish a ground to understand the narrative and cultural based conceptualization of space. The main discussion is executed through a case study. L’ecumé des Jours by Boris Vian (Foam of the Daze, 1947), and consequently, its 49 2013 adaptation Mood Indigo by Michel Gondry, are selected as the case. -

It assesses the impact of Russian technological Modernism, especially Constructivism, in the United States, chiefly in New York where it was disseminated, mimicked, and redefined. It is based on the paradox that Americans travelling to Europe and Russia on cultural pilgrimages to escape America were greeted with ‘Amerikanismus’ and ‘Amerikanizm’, where America represented the vanguard of technological modernity. -
