Author: Adam McCullough, Architectural Designer Arch&Type (https://buff.ly/3XOozlV) **Note on the following: When I refer to “Preservation” in this piece, I mean a broad cultural phenomena in Buffalo as opposed to the strict “identifying culturally significant buildings and working to maintain them, etc.” Analogous terms may be “historicism” or “traditionalism.” But “preservation” seems the most appropriate as it connotes a culturally conservative principle seeking to explicitly orient design/building culture toward the past.**  Hegel remarks somewhere that all great world-historic facts and personages appear, so to speak, twice. He forgot to add: the first time as tragedy, the second time as farceMarx For better or worse, I’ve only made it a portion of the way through Capital and haven’t begun to read the source text for the oft-cited above quote.

#SwissBuildingOfTheWeek - How do you create community and cohesion in a settlement with 110 apartments? Yves Schihin explains how two row-like volumes in the Waldacker residential complex in St.Gallen create a green common area. WA: What is special about this construction task? YS: The settlement is characterized above all by a warm, comfortable and neighborly atmosphere, which is created by the building material wood in connection with the spacious verandas and the communal interior space. WA: What is the inspiration behind this project? YS: Despite the high number of apartments - there are 110 in total - we wanted to create a neighborhood. That's why we created a green, identity-creating interior space between two row-like buildings. This forms the communal heart of the settlement; every apartment has a spatial connection to it.

Chicago is world famous as the 'birthplace' of the skyscraper, one of the first forms of modern architecture. Did you know it is also the city where the American economist Thorstein Veblen wrote his classic text, The Theory of the Leisure Class? Published in 1899, this book takes aim at what would later be known as 'consumer culture.' In my new book, fresh off the press and available April 2nd, I examine Veblen's book (and his famous concept of 'conspicuous consumption), in the context of Chicago. How did this then-unique urban landscape inform his canonical text? https://lnkd.in/gX7wYvSA

The modern movement in architecture was a sweeping and multivalent phenomenon which changed the lives of millions of people across political, cultural and geographical boundaries worldwide. Bloomsbury Studies in Modern Architecture aims to create a more comprehensive history of the movement, by bringing to light the work of a wide range of architects whose significance is being reappraised in contemporary scholarship. The series, co-edited by Tom Avermaete and Janina Gosseye, uncovers the work of 'forgotten' architects of the modern era and demonstrates their critical importance in architectural history, offers a collection of in-depth monographic studies of modern architects, bringing valuable new research to scholarly attention, and broadens the geographical and cultural scope of the history of modernism. The aim is to nuance and enrich our understanding of the history of modern architecture, and explore the breadth and complexity of the global networks that underwrote the modern movement. The latest book of the series by Scott Colman will bring to light the work and influence of the German-American architect, art critic, and urban planner Ludwig Hilberseimer – a central figure of the Weimar Republic avant-garde, an important Bauhaus teacher, and long-standing collaborator of leading modernist architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. Will be published next November 2024, pre-ordering is already available here: https://lnkd.in/ewGXvpsV

Out almost 4 years ago, Architectural Guide (Architektur Führer): Alexandria, by Verlag DOM, was fruit to work between an interdisciplinary team of Egyptian and German backgrounds that beautifully brings narrative and intangiblity of heritage to the forefront. I am proud to have co-authored the texts of more than 150 buildings in this book edited by dear professors Zeyad el Sayad and Dina Taha. https://lnkd.in/d2b3Crz6

In the realms of art and design, a poignant observation unfolds: the emerging voices of young architects often go unheard. They channel their aspirations, beliefs, and innovations through the eloquence of their designs, yet the resonance they seek remains elusive. It appears that the younger architects and their creative endeavors stand as the most underrepresented branches within the distinguished corridors of art and design. In contemplation of this intriguing discourse, I offer my reflections. It beckons an exploration into the depths of creative expression, where the vibrant energy of youth finds itself amidst the shadows. A narrative that unfolds silently, waiting to be acknowledged. I extend an invitation to engage with my perspective on this matter. Your insights are valued; let us collectively unravel the nuances of this artistic conundrum and open a dialogue that transcends the boundaries of conventional expression. Together, let us shine a light on the obscured brilliance of the younger architects and their contributions to the ever-evolving tapestry of art and design. #curate #architect #artanddesign #voices
