How the 1931 Colonial Exposition in Paris blended the Western and Oriental cultures whose segregation it ostensibly demonstratedThe 1931 International Colonial Exposition in Paris was a demonstration of French colonial policy colonial architecture and urban planning and the scientific and philosophical theories that justified colonialism The Exposition displayed the people material culture raw materials manufactured goods and arts of the global colonial empires Yet the event gave a contradictory message of the colonies as the Orient the site of rampant sensuality decadence and irrationality and as the laboratory of Western rationality In Hybrid Modernities Patricia Morton shows how the Exposition failed to keep colonialisms two spheres separate instead creating hybrids of French and native culture At the Exposition French pavilions demonstrated Europes sophistication in art deco style while the colonial pavilions were authentic native environments for displaying indigenous peoples and artifacts from the colonies The authenticity of these pavilions exteriors was contradicted by vaguely exotic interiors filled with didactic exhibition stands and dioramas Intended to maintain a segregation of colonized and colonizer the colonial pavilions instead were mixtures of European and native architecture Anticolonial resistance erupted around the Exposition in the form of protests anticolonial tracts and a countercolonial exposition produced by the Surrealists Thus the Exposition occupied a middle region of experience where the norms rules and systems of French colonialism both emerged and broke down unsustainable because of their internal contradictions As Morton shows the effort to segregate France and her colonies failed both at the Colonial Exposition and in greater France because it was constantly undermined by the hybrids that modern colonialism itself produced

A study of the building surface architectures primary instrument of identity and engagement with its surroundingsVisually many contemporary buildings either reflect their systems of production or recollect earlier styles and motifs This division between production and representation is in some ways an extension of that between modernity and tradition In this book David Leatherbarrow and Mohsen Mostafavi explore ways that design can take advantage of production methods such that architecture is neither independent of nor dominated by technology Leatherbarrow and Mostafavi begin with the theoretical and practical isolation of the building surface as the subject of architectural design The autonomy of the surface the free facade presumes a distinction between the structural and nonstructural elements of the building between the frame and the cladding Once the skin of the building became independent of its structure it could just as well hang like a curtain or like clothing The focus of the relationship between structure and skin is the architectural surface In tracing the handling of this surface the authors examine both contemporary buildings and those of the recent past Architects discussed include Albert Kahn Ludwig Mies van der Rohe Alison and Peter Smithson Alejandro de la Sota Robert Venturi Jacques Herzog and Pierre de Meuron The properties of a buildings surfacewhether it is made of concrete metal glass or other materialsare not merely superficial they construct the spatial effects by which architecture communicates Through its surfaces a building declares both its autonomy and its participation in its surroundings

In this short intentionally polemical book Neil Leach draws on theideas of philosophers and cultural theorists such as Walter Benjaminand Jean Baudrillard to develop a novel and highly incisive critiqueof the consequences of the growing preoccupation with images andimagemaking in contemporary architectural cultureIn this short intentionally polemical book Neil Leach draws on the ideas of philosophers and cultural theorists such as Walter Benjamin and Jean Baudrillard to develop a novel and highly incisive critique of the consequences of the growing preoccupation with images and imagemaking in contemporary architectural culture The problem with this preoccupation Leach argues is that it can induce a sort of numbness as the saturation of images floods the senses and obscures deeper concerns This problem is particularly acute for a discipline such as architecture which relies heavily on visual representation As a result architects can become anaesthetized from the social and political realities of everyday life In the intoxicating world of the image the aesthetics of architecture threaten to become the anaesthetics of architecture In this culture of aesthetic consumption this culture of the cocktail meaningful discourse gives way to strategies of seduction and architectural design is reduced to the superficial play of empty seductive forms

Explore tips, opinions, and features on Modernism in Serbia The Elusive sold at 25 $ ; this product is listed in the Books & Magazines category, produced by , and sold by Abebooks.com.
The first comprehensive study of the modern movement in Serbian architecture Modernism in Serbia is the first comprehensive account of an almost forgotten body of work that once defined regional modernism at its best The book reconstructs the story of Serbian modernism as a local history within a major movement and views the buildings designed in Belgrade in the 1920s and 1930s as part of a larger cultural phenomenon Because so many of the buildings discussed are disintegrating or have been destroyed or altered beyond recognition the book serves not only as a documentary and critical study but also as a preservation resource Most of the photographs and plans have never been published outside of Serbia if at allIn restoring this work to its rightful place in the history of modern architecture the book also sheds new light on a number of other stories These include the influence of Le Corbusier and of the Yugoslav avantgarde movement Zenitism and the impact of international modern movements on the theoretical underpinnings of Serbian modernism One of the subplots follows the story of the Group of Architects of the Modern Movement in Belgrade and its four founding members Milan Zlokovic Branislav Kojic Jan Dubovy and Dusan Babic Through an examination of their work and that of other modern architects most notably Dragisa Brasovan and Nikola Dobrovic the book discusses the identity of Serbian modernism as it was established in the period from 1925 to 1940 The book also identifies those buildings that represent the purest examples of Serbian modernism and analyzes the qualities that make them quintessentially local forms while part of the larger modernist movement Modernism in Serbia is a copublication of the Harvard Design School and MIT Press
