Une réévaluation de la carrière de l'architecte Paul Rudolph, de ses maisons modernistes de Sarasota à ses bâtiments brutaux controversés et à ses projets internationaux ultérieurs, avec des dessins, des maquettes et des meubles inédits. L'architecte Paul Rudolph (1918-1997) était connu pour ses maisons modernes emblématiques et ses bâtiments brutalistes exemplaires en béton apparent, notamment le Yale Art and Architecture Building et le Boston Government Service Center. La popularité de Rudolph a atteint son apogée dans les années 1950 et 1960, lorsqu'il était président du département d'architecture de l'université de Yale, mais son travail est tombé en disgrâce avec l'avènement du postmodernisme dans les années 1970. Ce volume compact propose une introduction et une réévaluation attendue depuis longtemps de la carrière pionnière de l'architecte. Abordant l'ensemble de l'œuvre de Rudolph - de ses débuts à Sarasota, en Floride, à ses bâtiments publics et institutionnels, en passant par ses projets de développement à usage mixte en Asie et ses plans pour des mégastructures non réalisées, dont la controversée Lower Manhattan Expressway - Abraham Thomas examine la manière dont Rudolph a exploré des concepts tels que le fonctionnalisme, l'urbanisme et la construction modulaire à travers les décennies et les continents. Richement illustré de photographies des structures et des dessins de Rudolph (dont beaucoup n'ont jamais été publiés), ainsi que de maquettes, de meubles et de coupures de presse d'époque, ce livre met en lumière le processus de l'architecte et aborde des thèmes tels que la conception civique, le développement du logement et les matériaux et méthodes expérimentaux - des thèmes aussi importants à son époque qu'à la nôtre.

Paperback. Etat : New. A reassessment of the career of architect Paul Rudolph, from his modernist Sarasota houses to his controversial Brutalist buildings and later international projects, featuring unpublished drawings, models, and furniture Architect Paul Rudolph (1918-1997) was known for his iconic modern houses and exemplary Brutalist buildings in exposed concrete. Rudolph's popularity peaked during the 1950s and 1960s, when he served as the chair of Yale University's Department of Architecture, but his work fell from favor with the advent of postmodernism in the 1970s. This compact volume provides an introduction to and long-overdue reassessment of the architect's trailblazing career, from his modernist Florida houses to his public and institutional buildings, unrealized mega-structures, experimental interiors, and later mixed-use developments in Asia. Abraham Thomas examines how Rudolph explored concepts such as functionalism, urbanism, and modular construction across decades and continents. Richly illustrated with photographs of the structures and Rudolph's own drawings as well as models, furniture, and period press clippings, this book sheds light on the architect's process and takes up themes as important in his time as in our own, such as civic design, housing development, and experimental materials and methods.
