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.

Parroquia del Corral. Memoria documental

Libro Parroquia del Corral. Memoria documental

Este libro no es una revisión crítica de arquitectura ni un estudio especializado en materias de patrimonio o de historia. Es un libro de archiveros que permite observar y conocer, especialmente a las actuales generaciones, un modo hacer obras fundado en la relación de la poesía con los oficios; practicable no sólo en los ámbitos académicos, sino que puede construir materialmente el mundo. La Parroquia de Corral, reconstruida después del gran terremoto de 1960 en el sur de Chile es fiel testimonio de este obrar.

Iglesias de Ubeda y Baeza

Libro Iglesias de Ubeda y Baeza

En ocasiones, la riqueza de la arquitectura palaciega y civil del Renacimiento en Úbeda y Baeza ha diluido el extraordinario aporte histórico y estético de sus iglesias a la percepción patrimonial de ambas ciudades. Articuladoras de su trama urbana y social a lo largo del tiempo y ejes centrales de las perspectivas de sus calles y plazas, las iglesias ubetenses y baezanas son elementos imprescindibles de su patrimonio histórico y el escenario tanto de la piedad, el mecenazgo y los deseos de notoriedad de sus oligarquías, como de las devociones más arraigadas en sus gentes desde hace...
