Open Space: Transparency, Freedom, Dematerialisation
Les informations fournies dans la section « Synopsis » peuvent faire référence à une autre édition de ce titre.
Günther Feuerstein, who was a professor at the Hochschule für Gestaltung in Linz and also a lecturer at the Akademie der bildenden Künste and at the Technische Universität in Vienna, must be considered the catalyst in the Viennese post-war architectural scene, as almost all architectural avant-garde groups of the town have come from his circle. As an author, Feuerstein addresses areas where art history and sociology intersect with architecture. Feuerstein is one of the earliest critics of functionalism and pleads for an "expanded architecture".

Hardcover. Etat : Fine. Leichte Risse; Leichter Riss. This study analyzes a significant architectural trend from the 19th and 20th centuries: the transition from the closed, hermetic spaces of early cultures and the Middle Ages to the open, transparent designs of modern architecture. It examines historical examples such as the diaphanous spaces of Gothic cathedrals, the late-Baroque dome's openness, and the glass structures of the 19th and early 20th centuries. The advancements in steel-and-glass technology have enabled unprecedented levels of transparency and dematerialization. Notably, modern glass buildings are often likened to 'crystals,' symbolizing purity, transparency, and order, reflecting humanity's psychological, aesthetic, and artistic desires. This evolution in architecture not only serves functional purposes but also embodies deeper aspirations to transcend gravity and blur the lines between indoor and outdoor spaces. The study aims to spark discussions on architecture's boundaries and advocates for maintaining openness, freedom, lightness, and transparency in future designs. Günther Feuerstein, a key figure in the post-war Viennese architectural scene, merges art history and sociology with architecture, critiquing functionalism and advocating for an 'expanded architecture.'.

Gebundene Ausgabe, 4°. Etat : Sehr gut. 1. 256 S. Das Buch ist in sehr gutem, sauberen Zustand. Einband minimal berieben. Sonst sauberes und wohlerhaltenes Exemplar. -----Inhalt:. The aim of the study is to analyse and describe in detail one of the most important trends in architecture in the 19th and 20th centuries: the evolution leading from the closed, hermetic spaces of the early cultures and the Middle Ages to the 'open space' and transparency of the 19th and 20th/21st centuries. Historically, the focus is on the 'diaphanous' space of the Gothic cathedral, the opening of the late-Baroque dome towards the sky, the transparency of exhibition halls and hothouses in the 19th century, and the glass dreams of the early 20th century. The steel-and-glass technology of the past one hundred years has permitted even more transparency, open-ness, and dematerialisation on a scale never seen before. It is notable to quote just one aspect of the study that many modern glass buildings have been compared to a 'crystal'. This is the material with which we associate concepts such as purity, transparency, and order. We have thus also found a symbol for clarity and translucency in architecture. One key objective of the study is to demonstrate that this trend has been driven by no means only by a functionalist, pragmatic, or physical motivation but that, as in past epochs, the 'opening up' of architecture reflects elementary desires of humankind: these are, first of all, psychological, aesthetic and artistic desires, the wish to overcome gravity as far as possible and, last but not least, the liberation of architecture and the attempt to resolve the heteronomy of 'indoors' and 'outdoors'. Many statements have suggested that this touches even on the borders of the irrational and the metaphysical. The study should therefore also contribute to a fresh debate on the boundaries of architecture and, most importantly, should serve as a plea to allow architecture to remain open, free, light, and transparent even in the future. Günther Feuerstein, who was a professor at the Hochschule für Gestaltung in Linz and also a lecturer at the Akademie der bildenden Künste and at the Technische Universität in Vienna, must be considered the catalyst in the Viennese post-war architectural scene, as almost all architectu-ral avant-garde groups of the town have come from his circle. As an author, Feuerstein addresses areas where art history and sociology inter-sect with architecture.
