Historia de la arquitectura contemporánea
Book SynopsisEl presente volumenrefleja una teoría de la arquitectura y una metodología historiográfica dirigida a los estudiantes y a todos aquellos que se acercan por vez primera a la historia de la arquitectura de nuestro tiempo, es decir, desde la segunda mitad del siglo XIX hasta hoy; así pues, su objetivo es casi exclusivamente didáctico.El principio historiográfico no es ni más ni menos que el de la contemporaneidad de la historia, por lo que nos ocupamos de la historia desde una postura crítica actual, y porque apreciamos en ella valores e intereses que responden a las exigencias prácticas de hoy. La intención operativa está íntimamente ligada a dicho principio: estudiamos la historia de la arquitectura contemporánea (y la del pasado reciente y remoto) a través del entendimiento crítico de la situación actual, para enriquecer el conocimiento analítico de las obras que se van produciendo continuamente y para identificar un código, un lenguaje arquitectónico adaptable, también, a los edificio

Las mujeres de la Bauhaus
Book SynopsisEn el año 1910 se inauguraba el primer conjunto de viviendas de interés social realizado con fondos públicos en la Argentina: el barrio Butteler. Desde entonces han transcurrido 100 años y sin embargo la tecnología hoy empleada en la construcción de las VIS ha variado muy poco,distanciándose así de los avances de las ciencias que ha caracterizado al siglo pasado y que se han multiplicado en el nuevo siglo. En ese rezago tecnológico han incidido factores que pocas veces fueron puestos de manifiesto en su verdadera magnitud ni tenidos en cuenta en los análisis de esa problemática. Efectivamente, la necesidad de implementar nuevas tecnologías en la construcción de las VIS, para mejorar la calidad, los plazos y costos de las obras, resultó desalentada por causas cuyos orígenes y resolución no dependieron de los proyectistas ni de los constructores, pero cuyas consecuencias las sufre la sociedad toda. Este trabajo identifica y cuantifica esas incidencias negativas en la construcción de VIS, como lo son la baja productividad, las abultadas cargas fiscales, los costos financieros y las escasas inversiones, que impiden, sino resolver, atenuar el déficit habitacional de nuestro país, el que lejos de disminuir se incrementa anualmente, al igual que las villas y asentamientos urbanos, originando que el diez por ciento de los habitantes del Gran Buenos Aires vivan hoy en esa clase de alojamientos precarios. La Cámara de la Vivienda y Equipamiento Urbano CAVERA es una institución fundada en 1973 con el propósito de nuclear a todos aquellos que, de distintas maneras, trabajan en la solución del déficit habitacional. Está integrada por constructores, productores de insumos y profesionales vinculados a la actividad de la construcción de viviendas de interés social.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Museums and Design for Creative Lives
Book SynopsisMuseums and Design for Creative Lives questions what we sacrifice when we allow economic imperatives to shape public museums, whilst also considering the implications of these new museum realities. It also asks: how might we instead design for creative lives?Drawing together 28 case studies of museum design spanning 70 years, the book explores the spatial and social forms that comprise these successful examples, as well as the design methodologies through which they were produced. Re-activating a well-trodden history of progressive museum design and raising awareness of the involvement of the built forms in how we feel, think and act, MacLeod provides strategies and methods to actively counter the economisation of museums and a call to museum makers to work beyond the economic and advance this deeply human history of museum making. Museums and Design for Creative Lives will be of great interest to academics and students in museum stTrade Review"For anyone who believes that museums have the potential to act as powerful agents for social change, Museums and Design for Creative Lives is a must-read. MacLeod applies a theoretical framework of social space to current museum practice that not only identifies unchallenged assumptions about goals, standards, and processes in museums, but also articulates essential qualities and values inherent in what she calls "progressive museum design." The theory comes to life in the second part of the book, which explores the many visions, intentions, and design practices in 28 museum case studies of progressive museum design from around the world. Most importantly, MacLeod summarizes with six frames of mind or calls to action that provide us with concrete, provocative, and energizing ways forward." — Kathleen McLean, USATable of ContentsPart 1; Chapter 1 The economization of museums and the ‘truth’ of space; Chapter 2 Landscapes of potential: the social and spatial underpinnings of museums; Chapter 3 Design for creative lives: new museum design cultures; Bibliography; Part 2; 4.

Taylor & Francis Spatial Violence
Book SynopsisThis book poses spatial violence as a constitutive dimension of architecture and its epistemologies, as well as a method for theoretical and historical inquiry intrinsic to architecture; and thereby offers an alternative to predominant readings of spatial violence as a topic, event, fact, or other empirical form that may be illustrated by architecture. Exploring histories of and through architecture at sites across the globe, the chapters in the book blur the purportedly distinctive borders between war and peace, framing violence as a form of social, political, and economic order rather than its exceptional interruption. Regarding space and violence as co-constitutive, the book's collected essays critique modernization and capitalist accumulation as naturalized modes for the extraction of violence from everyday life. Focusing on the mediation of violence through architectural registers of construction, destruction, design, use, representation, theory, and history, the book suggests Table of Contents1.

Taylor & Francis Site Matters Strategies for Uncertainty Through
Book SynopsisIn the era of the Anthropocene, site matters are more pressing than ever. Building on the concepts, theories, and multi-disciplinary approaches raised in the first edition, this publication strives to address the changes that have taken place over the last 15 years with new material to complement and re-position the initial volume. Reaching across design disciplines, this highly illustrated anthology assembles essays from architects, landscape architects, urban designers, planners, historians, and artists to explore ways to physically and conceptually engage site. Thoughtful discourse and empirically grounded pieces combine to provide the language and theory to contextualize the meanings of site in the built environment. The increasingly complex hybridity of constructed environments today demands new tools for thinking about and working with site. Drawing contributions from outside and within the traditional design disciplines, this edition will trace important developments in site thinking with new essays on topics such as climate change, landscape as infrastructure, shifts from global to planetary urbanization debates, and the proliferation of participatory site transformation practices. Edited by two leading practitioners and academics, Site Matters juxtaposes timeless contributions from individuals including Elizabeth Meyer, Robert Beauregard, and Robin Dripps with original new writings from Peter Marcuse, Jane Wolff, Neil Brenner, and Thaisa Way, amongst others, to recontextualize and reignite the debate around site. An ideal text for students, academics, and researchers interested in site and design theory.Trade Review"Site Matters is serious scholarship on an urgent topic. Site is so much more than landscape—it is a concept loaded with social and political meaning, imbued with narrative that needs to be revealed and understood if we are to address climate change—and now global pandemics—in a resourceful way. This reader provides an essential and plausible foundation for tapping that intelligence."Emily Talen, University of Chicago"This innovative and now fully updated set of short essays invites reflection on the meaning of the site as a focal point for the design imagination. The collection provides a uniquely fine-grained and polyphonic vantage point for the enrichment of urban discourse in uncertain times."Matthew Gandy, Professor of Geography, University of Cambridge"Site Matters predicted a relational and contingent trajectory for architecture. Its assertive wake-up call implied that design disciplines, including my own, had insufficiently theorized how site circumstances shape project outcomes. The authors were right. I welcome this new work for its even broader transdisciplinary reach and its frank embrace of earth-bound realities we dare not overlook."Gary Hilderbrand, Peter Louis Hornbeck Professor in Practice of Landscape Architecture, Harvard GSD, Principal, Reed Hilderbrand"The original edition of Site Matters was pioneering in its multidisciplinary approach. This new edition further widens the lens, reflecting the complexity and uncertainty of the times in which we live, and the scale of the challenges we face, particularly the climate crisis. Kahn and Burns, and their diverse roster of contributors, are again ahead of the curve, searching—with deliberation and urgency—for the way forward."Deborah Berke, Dean, Yale School of ArchitectureTable of ContentsPreface to the Second Edition Andrea Kahn Why Site Matters Carol J.
