Frank Lloyd Wright

Resumen del Libro

Libro Frank Lloyd Wright

Ask Americans to think of a famous architect and the person they are most likely to name is Frank Lloyd Wright. Wright's work, his reputation, and his long and colorful career have made him an icon of modern American architecture. But despite his status as America's most celebrated architect, his influence throughout an active practice spanning the years 1896 to 1959 is so wide and complex that it has been difficult to grasp fully. The essays in this book look not at the United States, the context usually associated with Wright, but at countries around the globe. Anthony Alofsin has assembled a superb collection of scholars to examine Wright's importance from Japan to Great Britain, France to Chile, Mexico to Russia, and the Middle East. Interwoven in the essays are stories of champions and critics, rivals and acolytes, books and exhibitions, attitudes toward America and individualism, and the many ways Wright's ideas were brought to the world. Together the essays represent a first look at Wright's impact abroad, some from the perspective of natives of the countries discussed and others from that of informed outsiders. Of special note is Bruno Zevi's firsthand account of traveling with Wright in Italy. Zevi was instrumental in bringing Wright's ideas to Italy and in helping launch the movement for organic architecture. Of unusual interest in light of today's events in Iraq is Mina Marefat's essay on Wright's elaborate designs for a cultural center for the city of Baghdad. The Baghdad projects, which were never realized after the assassination of King Faisal II, were Wright's principal focus in his last decade. In searching out the little known rather than reexamining the well-established aspects of Frank Lloyd Wright's work, this collection is a rewarding exploration of his vision and influence.

Del abismo al infinito

Libro Del abismo al infinito

La arquitectura ha nacido, crecido y desarrollado en la línea limítrofe de la materia y el aire, ahí han estado sus aciertos y desengaños, plagando la tierra de un código hermético que ha ocultado el conocimiento, como si se hubiera perdido la estela del conquistador, olvidado en la distancia. Se han creado abismos e infinitos. Abismos donde sin duda llega el aire e infinitos donde para que lo sean tiene que llegar la materia. Desde unos llegaremos a los otros. Ese es el cometido.

Musica, color y arquitectura

Libro Musica, color y arquitectura

En estas líneas se pretende simplemente, dar un detenido paseo por nuestro contexto cultural, que nos ayude en la aprensión y la consignación de las experiencias no cuantificables de la arquitectura (como los métodos de representación de las calidades sonoras y lumínicas) y que arroje algo de luz sobre un fenómeno tan antiguo como vasto y todavía resbaladizo.

Libro Santander, mirar y ver... matemáticas, arquitectura e historia

Mirar, ver y estudiar la ciudad de Santander desde un punto de vista matemático. Este ha sido el objetivo básico de este trabajo y, para ello, observamos la geometría de la arquitectura de sus edificios y monumentos, sus formas, sus detalles y ornamentos, por un lado, y la historia o anécdotas de esos lugares, por otro. En su segunda edición, revisada y aumentada,se ha vuelto a utilizar la fotografía como herramienta fundamental, ayudada por el software GeoGebra, los applets Descartes y la tecnología Flash.

In the nineties, the modern orthodoxy has stopped imposing its criteria. At a time when there are as many architectural philosophies as architects, this volume offers us some answers to the common question of where present-day architecture is going. This view of the current world of architecture is presented through analysis of the projects of the most recognized and respected architects, but also the most innovative ones and those of the new generations.
