Afficher les exemplaires de cette édition ISBNEl arquitecto Albert Frey (1903-1998) llevó la utopía del Movimiento Moderno al desierto. Nacido en la ciudad suiza de Zúrich, estudió en Europa con Le Corbusier antes de trasladarse a Estados Unidos en 1930, convencido de que era la tierra de las oportunidades arquitectónicas. En una visita a Palm Springs cayó bajo el hechizo del desierto. Fue aquí, en mitad de un paisaje árido y vacío, donde imaginó un futuro moderno y perfecto.
Al igual que otro arquitecto californiano de referencia, John Lautner, Frey pasaría el resto de su carrera dedicado a armonizar arquitectura y naturaleza, estudiando la caída de la luz del sol y de la lluvia y combinando aluminio, acero y vidrio con las grandes rocas y la arena de los desiertos de la Costa Oeste. Se centró sobre todo en Palm Springs, aprovechando el boom demográfico de la posguerra para crear un bastión del Movimiento Moderno elegante y de líneas puras que definió a la California de mediados del siglo XX.
En esta obra fundamental sobre Frey, recorremos su larga y prestigiosa carrera desde sus inicios en Europa hasta el apogeo de su etapa californiana, en la que aplicó lo que había aprendido de De Stijl, de Le Corbusier y de la Bauhaus. Exploramos el estilo, los materiales y la integración de sus obras en el entorno, las claves de su extraordinaria arquitectura moderna del desierto.

Description du livre Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. Architect Albert Frey (1903-1998) saw a modernist utopia in the desert. Born in Zurich, he studied in Europe with Le Corbusier before moving to the United States in 1930, convinced it was the land of architectural opportunity. On a visit to Palm Springs, he fell under the desert spell. It was here, amid the arid and empty landscape, that he could truly envisage a perfect modern future. Like fellow Californian luminary, John Lautner, Frey would spend the rest of his career nurturing the consonance of architecture and nature: studying the fall of sunlight and rain, and merging aluminum, steel, and glass with the boulders and sands of the West Coast wilds. His vision centered in particular on Palm Springs, capitalizing on the city's postwar population boom to create a bastion of the sleek, leisurely modernism that defines midcentury California. In this dependable architect introduction, we follow Frey's long and prestigious career from his European beginnings through to the apogee of his Californian practice, taking in his notes on De Stijl, Le Corbusier, and Bauhaus, and exploring the stylistic, material, and geographic makings of his unique "desert modernism." Meet desert modernist Albert Frey, the Zurich-born architect who brought notes of Bauhaus, De Stijl, and Le Corbusier to the West Coast. From his European beginnings, Frey developed a unique architectural brand, one that would redefine midcentury California through sleek, leisurely structures nestled among the arid landscapes of Palm Springs and beyond.
