Krátky popis
Both a reference work and a personal exploration of modernist
architecture, this fascinating collection of Nicolas Grospierre's
photography covers structures built between 1920 and 1989 in
Europe, North and South America, the Middle East, and Asia. These
images range from iconic buildings, such as the Gateway Arch in
Saint Louis and the Ukrainian Institute of Scientific Research and
Development in Kiev, to little-known structures such as the
Balneological Hospital in Druskininkai, Lithuania or Oscar
Niemeyer's unfinished International Fair Grounds in Tripoli,
Lebanon. Derived from his popular blog, A Subjective Atlas of
Modern Architecture, and organized by architectural form, this book
reveals how modernist architecture is the embodiment of political
and social ideologies, especially in public institutions such as
banks, churches, libraries and government buildings.Following the
series of full-page images, an index details the location, date,
architect, and purpose of each building. While many of the
buildings in this archive often go unrecognized, their forms are
prominent in the landscape of modern civilization. Grospierre's
keen eye and enthusiasm for the mundane as well as the sublime will
motivate readers to look at the buildings around them in new and
exciting ways.
