O períodoestudado neste trabalho abrange os trinta anos iniciais do século XX, até a chegadados Nazistas ao poder na Alemanha, em 1933. A Alemanha passou, em um espaçode tempo de 60 anos, por guerras e mudanças políticas profundas que unificaram opaís em 1870, transformaram-na em uma república democrática em 1918 e, com achegada dos Nazistas ao poder em 1933, em uma ditadura. A Primeira GuerraMundial afetou toda a Europa e, principalmente, a Alemanha derrotada, estabelecendo um marco divisor da produção arquitetônica. Além das questõespolíticas, trata-se de uma época marcada por profundas transformações da ciência eda tecnologia afetando as relações econômicas, as condições de trabalho, aindústria, a família, a vida humana individual e coletivamente, a cidade, os objetosda vida diária, desde os utensílios até a moradia. Os profissionais deste períodotiveram de dar conta desse novo conjunto de condições que passou a determinar omundo em que viveriam a partir de então. Esses anos foram definitivos para aarquitetura alemã e para a arquitetura moderna, não apenas pela incorporação denovas idéias, mas pelas atitudes práticas tomadas em relação aos problemascontemporâneos.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn the spring of 1933, the Nazi government began its campaign to eliminate "modern" tendencies in German art--with particular emphasis on architecture--and to eradicate what it chose to call "art bolshevism." The Bauhaus, by then an internationally famous center of avant garde design, was shut down. In a close analysis of intellectual, political, social, and economic developments, Lane shows that Nazi views on architecture were generated by a complex of historical factors. Far from being cohesive, Nazi cultural policy was largely the product of the conflicting ideas about art held by the Nazi leaders and their efforts to advance these ideas during internal power struggles.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis dissertation examines the tension between the modern movement's theories and self-conceptions and its artistic output by studying the discourses of intellectuals and architects who framed the period debates and the architectural and domestic objects the movement produced. The lens through which it examines them is the period notion of luxury, rarely thought central to modernism given its interest in mass housing and mass production. The dissertation argues instead that modernism was conceived and sold through a combination of conformity to bourgeois expectations of luxury and redefinition of them--responding to and seeking to satisfy, but also reshape, the norms and desires of elites. It considers the foremost artists and architects of the period, who discussed the object's role in society while designing products, looking specifically at the design and marketing of electrical appliances by Peter Behrens at the AEG and in its Berlin stores, the relationship between consumption of Bauhaus objects and efforts at their mass production, and notions of interiority in the domestic commissions of Ludwig Mies van der Rohe.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKModernity and religion are not mutually exclusive. Setting German and Irish church, synagogue and mosque architecture side by side over the last century highlights the place for the celebration of the new within faiths whose appeal lies in part in the stability of belief they offer across time. Inspired by radically modern German churches of the 1920s and 1930s, this volume offers new insights into designers of all three types of sacred buildings, working at home and abroad. It offers new scholarship on the unknown phenomenon of mid-century ecclesiastical architecture in sub-Saharan Africa by Irish designers; a critical appraisal of the overlooked Frank Lloyd Wright-trained Andrew Devane and an analysis of accommodating difficult pasts and challenging futures with contemporary synagogue and mosque architecture in Germany. With a focus on influence and processes, alongside conservationists and historians, it features critical insights by the designers of some of the most celebrated contemporary sacred buildings, including Niall McLaughlin who writes on his multiple award-winning Bishop Edward King Chapel and Amandus Sattler, architect of the innovative Herz-Jesu-Kirche, Munich.
Modern Architecture

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn 1896, Otto Wagner's "Modern Architecture" shocked the European architectural community with its impassioned plea for an end to eclecticism and for a "modern" style suited to contemporary needs and ideals, utilizing the nascent constructional technologies and materials. Through the combined forces of his polemical, pedagogical, and professional efforts, this determined, newly appointed professor at the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts emerged in the late 1890s - along with such contemporaries as Charles Rennie Mackintosh in Glasgow and Louis Sullivan in Chicago - as one of the leaders of the revolution soon to be identified as the "Modern Movement." Wagner's historic manifesto is now presented in a new English translation - the first in almost ninety years - based on the expanded 1902 text and noting emendations made to the 1896, 1898, and 1914 editions. In his introduction, Dr. Harry Mallgrave examines Wagner's tract against the backdrop of nineteenth-century theory, critically exploring the affinities of Wagner's revolutionary élan with the German eclectic debate of the 1840s, the materialistic tendencies of the 1870s and 1880s, and the emerging cultural ideology of modernity. Modern Architecture is one of those rare works in the literature of architecture that not only proclaimed the dawning of a new era, but also perspicaciously and cogently shaped the issues and the course of its development; it defined less the personal aspirations of one individual and more the collective hopes and dreams of a generation facing the sanguine promise of a new century
