    The Archive of Renowned Architectural Photographer

    DATE: August 18, 2005 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE THE GETTY ACQUIRES ARCHIVE OF JULIUS SHULMAN, WHOSE ICONIC PHOTOGRAPHS HELPED TO DEFINE MODERN ARCHITECTURE Acquisition makes the Getty one of the foremost centers for the study of 20th-century architecture through photography LOS ANGELES—The Getty has acquired the archive of internationally renowned architectural photographer Julius Shulman, whose iconic images have helped to define the modern architecture movement in Southern California. The vast archive, which was held by Shulman, has been transferred to the special collections of the Research Library at the Getty Research Institute making the Getty one of the most important centers for the study of 20th-century architecture through the medium of photography. The Julius Shulman archive contains over 260,000 color and black-and-white negatives, prints, and transparencies that date back to the mid-1930s when Shulman began his distinguished career that spanned more than six decades. It includes photographs of celebrated monuments by modern architecture’s top practitioners, such as Richard Neutra, Frank Lloyd Wright, Raphael Soriano, Rudolph Schindler, Charles and Ray Eames, Gregory Ain, John Lautner, A. Quincy Jones, Mies van der Rohe, and Oscar Niemeyer, as well as images of gas stations, shopping malls, storefronts, and apartment buildings. Shulman’s body of work provides a seminal document of the architectural and urban history of Southern California, as well as modernism throughout the United States and internationally. The Getty is planning an exhibition of Shulman’s work to coincide with the photographer’s 95th birthday, which he will celebrate on October 10, 2005. The Shulman photography archive will greatly enhance the Getty Research Institute’s holdings of architecture-related works in its Research Library, which -more- Page 2 contains one of the world’s largest collections devoted to art and architecture.

    CONSERVATION PERSPECTIVES the Gci Newsletter

    CONSERVATION PERSPECTIVES THE GCI NEWSLETTER SPRING 2020 CONSERVATION SCIENCE A Note from As this issue of Conservation Perspectives was being prepared, the world confronted the spread of coronavirus COVID-19, threatening the health and well-being of people across the globe. In mid-March, offices at the Getty the Director closed, as did businesses and institutions throughout California a few days later. Getty Conservation Institute staff began working from home, continuing—to the degree possible—to connect and engage with our conservation colleagues, without whose efforts we could not accomplish our own work. As we endeavor to carry on, all of us at the GCI hope that you, your family, and your friends, are healthy and well. What is abundantly clear as humanity navigates its way through this extraordinary and universal challenge is our critical reliance on science to guide us. Science seeks to provide the evidence upon which we can, collectively, make decisions on how best to protect ourselves. Science is essential. This, of course, is true in efforts to conserve and protect cultural heritage. For us at the GCI, the integration of art and science is embedded in our institutional DNA. From our earliest days, scientific research in the service of conservation has been a substantial component of our work, which has included improving under- standing of how heritage was created and how it has altered over time, as well as developing effective conservation strategies to preserve it for the future. For over three decades, GCI scientists have sought to harness advances in science and technology Photo: Anna Flavin, GCI Anna Flavin, Photo: to further our ability to preserve cultural heritage.

    Designing Under the Impact of the Land Issue – from Sitte to Bernoulli

    Architectural Aesthetics. An Old Matter Revisited 49 Designing Under the Impact of the Land Issue – from Sitte to Bernoulli Franziska Kramer PhD candidate and lecturer, Faculty of Architecture, RWTH Aachen University, Germany [email protected] KEYWORDS: speculation; urban plot; Camillo Sitte; Theodor Fischer; Hans Bernoulli; Siedlungsbau Introduction Since the latest price increase for housing, the land issue is once again in the public attention. The demand for affordable housing is a recurring topic in the daily news and the need for new strategies in social housing has hence come into focus yet again. Under the pressure of these occurences, architects resume the exploration of new ideas for cooperative housing models and developers start their own respective initiatives in order to shape a new idea of community life. At first glance, the land issue seems to currently address the political aspect of this multifaceted topic. Put simply, one might think that the question starts and ends with the matter of property, but a second look at the historiography of the land issue reveals another, rather underestimated topic — the relationship between the land issue and design processes. This relationship has already been acknowledged in 1907 by the economist and urban planner Rudolf Eberstadt,1 who wrote: “The land parcellation is a matter of speculation. The construction method, the form of the house and the production of housing are determined by speculation.”2 The outcome of these speculation processes, especially around the fin-de-siècle – in the form of the questionable housing typology of the Mietskaserne3 – determined a whole discourse in urban planning and architecture, which lasted until the 1930s.

    Home Stories 100 Jahre, 20 visionäre Interieurs 8. Februar 2020 bis 28. Februar 2021 Vitra Design Museum Charles-Eames-Str. 2 79576 Weil am Rhein Deutschland #VDMHomeStories Unser Zuhause ist Ausdruck unseres Lebensstils, es prägt unseren Alltag und bestimmt unser Wohlbefinden. Mit der Ausstellung »Home Stories. 100 Jahre, 20 visionäre Interieurs« initiiert das Vitra Design Museum eine neue Debatte über das private Interieur, seine Geschichte und seine Zukunftsperspektiven. Die Ausstellung führt den Besucher auf eine Reise in die Vergangenheit und zeigt, wie sich gesellschaftliche, politische und technische Veränderungen der letzten 100 Jahren in unserem Wohnumfeld widerspiegeln. Im Zentrum stehen die großen Zäsuren, die das Design und die Nutzung des westlichen Interieurs geprägt haben – von aktuellen Themen wie knapper werdendem Wohnraum und dem Verschwinden der Grenzen zwischen Arbeits- und Privatleben über die Entdeckung der Loftwohnung in den 1970er Jahren, aber auch dem Siegeszug einer ungezwungeneren Wohnkultur in den 1960ern und dem Einzug moderner Haushaltsgeräte in den 1950ern bis hin zu den ersten offenen Grundrissen der 1920er Jahre. Diese Umbrüche werden anhand von 20 stilbildenden Interieurs veranschaulicht, darunter Entwürfe von Architekten wie Adolf Loos, Finn Juhl, Lina Bo Bardi oder Assemble, Künstlern wie Andy Warhol oder Cecil Beaton sowie der legendären Innenarchitektin Elsie de Wolfe. Die Gestaltung und Produktion von Möbeln, Textilien, Dekorationselementen und Lifestyle- Accessoires für das Zuhause beschäftigt heute eine gigantische, globale Industrie. Die neuesten Interieur-Trends unterhalten eine ganze Medienlandschaft aus Zeitschriften, Fernsehsendungen, Blogs und Social-Media-Kanälen. Doch während soziale und architektonische Themen wie die Frage nach bezahlbarem Wohnraum heute lebhaft debattiert werden, findet eine ernsthafte gesellschaftliche Auseinandersetzung über das Wohninterieur nicht statt.
