Sinossi

Eine der fruchtbarsten Methoden in der Architektenausbildung besteht in der Förderung von Kontakten zwischen Studenten und praktizierenden Architekten. An der Bartlett School of Architecture in London geschieht dies einmal im Jahr über eine Reihe von Vorlesungen, die von Werbezar Frank Lowe finanziert wird. Von diesen Vorlesungen profitieren Bartlett-Studenten durch die Interaktion mit vielen großen und einflussreichen Architekten. "The Paradox of Contemporary Architecture" ist der 2. Band der 1999 gegründeten Wiley-Reihe 'Contemporary Architecture'. Dieser Band bietet eine Zusammenfassung von Vorlesungen einer beeindruckenden Auswahl berühmter und aufstrebender Architekten und macht so das besondere Privileg der Bartlett-Studenten einem breiteren Fachpublikum zugänglich. Mit Beiträgen zu Bauwerken und den jeweils zugrundeliegenden Architekturtheorien von Bernard Tschumi, Enric Miralles, Frank Gehry, LOT/EK, Claude Parent, Ken Yeang, Craig Dykers, Zaha Hadid, Zamp Kelp, Softroom und anderen. Illustriert mit zahlreichen Fotos und Diagrammen, viele davon in Farbe. Ein einzigartiges Nachschlagewerk.

Informazioni sull?autore

Peter Cook and Neil Spiller, both of Bartlett School of Architecture, London, UK.

Dalla quarta di copertina

Strangely, it is expected of any original or exceptionally creative architect that he or she must - somehow - be able to communicate ideas through a lecture. As a result, a whole culture of presentation, discussio, criticism and theory has arisen. The effort of communication becomes part of the creative cycle. In the manner of a 'live performances' versus a 'studio performance' in music you get the intensity of the moment and the personality of the artist and, perhaps, a different 'take' on things arising from the same lecture but different audiences.
This book is a digest of some lectures that have formed the Lowe Lecture Series at the Bartlett School of Architecture in London during the season 1999 - 2001. The established names are being challenged by more eager, more edgy and more exotic voices. The paradox of dissent can be read against the continuity in architectural values that spans today's wide range of positions.
