Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - From the magnificent and moving coast of Chile to the inner sanctum of colonial Chile, two projects give an in-depth insight into the intensity and quality of contemporary architecture there. In Smiljan Radic's House in Punta Pite, archaic architecture and art are merged with precise details and modern design to create a home for a young family that is in constant and intimate contact with the elements. In Rodrigo Perez de Arce's realized competition entry for the post-facto insertion of a crypt in the cathedral of Santiago de Chile, two cultures are synthesized in an architectural tour-de-force, this as the matter-of-fact modern language of the new crypt fits unquestionably into the layers of colonial architectural history. On the face of it, Smiljan Radic's House at Punta Pita and Rodrigo Perez de Arce's crypt are two commissions that could not be further apart from each other: the one affirming the realm of the living, the other dedicated to the dead. As opposite as they might seem, the conceptual framework and design constraints that each building confronts define the temporal and spatial limits of architecture themselves. Each project is a fundamental instance of architecture's need to constantly re-establish its temporal presence with every act of building. The first and the last house as it were: the one on the coastal paradise built for the financially independent 'Adam' and the other right at the colonial heart of the city that bears the name of the biblical St. James, name giver to numerous cities in the Spanish speaking world (notably Santiago de Compostela in Spanish Galicia). Both architects practice in the capital of Chile, both lead small offices, both have known each other for years and have been teachers at the School of Architecture at the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile. Despite the decades of political turmoil and economic instability, the School of Architecture under the long serving Dean Fernando Oyarzun has been a leader in the South American and international architectural discourse. Whereas the northern hemisphere has neglected the southern hemisphere not only in cultural matters, the curious and open minded, the critical and sensitive observers in Santiago de Chile have documented their breadth of awareness of contemporary architecture in their numerous and impressive publications, notably the journal ARQ and its related monographs. Richly illustrated and insightfully notated, this first volume in the O'Neil Ford Duograph Series, like those that will follow, gives examples, two at a time, of what is best in architecture today yet overlooked around the world. To this aim the Center for American Architecture and Design (CAAD) and the O'Neil Ford Chair in Architecture at the University of Texas at Austin, School of Architecture have joined forces. Each issue will document in some detail one building each by two different architects from a single country. These buildings will be complemented by descriptions from the respective architects and external critics. Parallel to the O'Neil Ford Duographs the Center for American Architecture and Design and the O'Neil Ford Chair are launching a sister series entitled the O'Neil Ford Monographs. This latter series will document the complex gestation of single buildings of central importance to architecture. As Vol. 1 in this series was published Álvaro Siza.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Brazil gained its position in architectural history already at the beginning of the twentieth century by genuine modern buildings evoking international adoration - manifested in the well attended exhibition Brazil Builds at the Museum of Modern Art New York in 1943. The metonymy of the new architecture quickly turned into an integrative cultural force beyond the merely aesthetic context. The comprehensive spirit of optimism can still be traced today in the Federal government buildings of the young capital Brasilia , inaugurated in1960.Overshadowed by the omnipresent personality of Oscar Niemeyer, who has long been regarded as the sole international representative of the Brazil architectural scene since 1930, little is known about the virtuoso buildings continually built since those formative years of early modernism in Brazil, effortlessly keeping up with the fast-paced developments of the cities. As a result of the publicity of the second Brazilian Pritzker Prize winner Paulo Mendes da Rocha in 2006, a younger generation of architects mainly working in Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro draws growing international attention. They follow in the footsteps of a long list of forefathers, whose early protagonists such as Vilanova Artigas, Lucio Costa, Sergio Bernardes remained widely unknown in the US and Europe.The second O Neil Ford duograph is devoted to two residential buildings by Angelo Bucci and Carla Juaçaba. Both buildings are located in Riode Janeiro being considered as to convey like no other city the complex parallel Brazilian life styles and realities to an international audience.The house by Angelo Bucci, who studied in Sao Paulo, where he is teaching today, at the legendary school of architecture by Vilanova Artigas, FAUUSP, is located in the vital central quarter of Santa Teresa high above the lower parts of town. Not visible from the street, the building reveals itself to the visitor in meticulously staged sequences until one reaches the highest point where the 360 degree panoramic views so typical for Rio de Janeiro literally imbue the entire building, almost dissolving itself into the cosmic energy of the city.Carla Juaçaba, who studied in Rio de Janeiro living and working there ever since, is contributing to this publication a vacation house located outside of Rio de Janeiro in a remote and virgin forest area in the immediate vicinity of the river Rio Bonito; a small solitaire, a spirited rejoinder to Laugier s cabanne rustique, unfolding epical dimensions despite its actual miniature size.Each volume in the O Neil Ford Duograph series will present one building by each of two different architects from a single country. By having two buildings featured within a single book, the series editors wish to let the architects and their work speak as directly as possible through the printed page. Drawings and photographs present each building in context and detail and provide a comprehensive account. As Vol. 1 in this series was published Chile.
