This book collects 13 articles Tschumi penned between 1975 and 1991, a period of time that started with him teaching at the Architectural Association in London and the Institute for Architecture and Urban Studies (IAUS) in New York and moved to him winning the competition for the Parc de la Villette in Paris and becoming dean of Columbia GSAPP. The park commission, coming in 1982, can be seen as the hinge between Tschumi's theoretical projects of the 1970s, which established the main ideas of his architecture, and a focus on practice that would find expression in the "Event-Cities" monographs (four of them to date) and other books. The essays collected here are the clearest distillation of the former, of the theoretical basis for, among other things, the function-less "folies" that litter Parc de la Villette. The title of the book indicates that disjunction is on equal footing with architecture, such that Tschumi states, "the disjunction between space and event ... was characteristic of our contemporary condition." Architecture, then, "could also export its findings [via writings and other projects, not just buildings] into the production of culture." Tschumi's belief in the strength of architecture is clear and infectious at times. ( ) ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
Avant-garde theorist and architect Bernard Tschumi is equally well known for his writing and his practice. Architecture and Disjunction, which brings together Tschumi's essays from 1975 to 1990, is a lucid and provocative analysis of many of the key issues that have engaged architectural discourse over the past two decades--from deconstructive theory to recent concerns with the notions of event and program. The essays develop different themes in contemporary theory as they relate to the actual making of architecture, attempting to realign the discipline with a new world culture characterized by both discontinuity and heterogeneity. Included are a number of seminal essays that incited broad attention when they first appeared in magazines and journals, as well as more recent and topical texts.Tschumi's discourse has always been considered radical and disturbing. He opposes modernist ideology and postmodern nostalgia since both impose restrictive criteria on what may be deemed "legitimate" cultural conditions. He argues for focusing on our immediate cultural situation, which is distinguished by a new postindustrial "unhomeliness" reflected in the ad hoc erection of buildings with multipurpose programs. The condition of New York and the chaos of Tokyo are thus perceived as legitimate urban forms. No library descriptions found. |
