Summary:
November 2009 marks the 100th anniversary of the Grand Boulevard and Concourse, the Bronx’s crown jewel of urban planning, which stretches over four miles from 138th Street to the Mosholu Parkway. This famous roadway represents Art Deco and Art Moderne architecture at its grandest, including a cornucopia of apartment complexes, the Concourse Plaza Hotel, the Loews Paradise Theater, the Bronx County Courthouse, and, of course, Yankee Stadium. Modeled on the Champs Élysées in Paris and described in the 1939 WPA Guide to New York as “the Park Avenue of the middle-class,” it offered residents amenities not seen before in the city, such as private bathrooms and central heating. This publication examines the rich history of the Bronx’s most famous thoroughfare through a collection of pieces — written by historians and contemporary museum curators, and accompanied by two original texts by Alsatian-born engineer Louis Risse, who designed and oversaw the construction of the Grand Concourse — on the context that informed its planning and construction, along with a vast collection of photographs that bring this period back to life. The book also features six art projects especially commissioned for the occasion : a series of large-scale color photographs by Jeff Liao; a time line by Skowmon Hastanan; The Tree Museum, a project by Katie Holten on the green spaces along the Concourse; a documentary film by Pablo Helguera on three buildings along the Concourse, namely, Poe’s cottage, the Paradise Theater, and the Freedman Home; a project by Kabir Carter about capturing sounds from different areas along the Concourse; and a special lobby installation by Acconci Studio. Traveling the Concourse today offers a lesson in architecture, history, and sociology as you see the faces and places that call it home. It is truly New York, but more important, authentically the Bronx. You can’t experience the Bronx until you travel the Grand Boulevard and Concourse. Foreword by Daniel Libeskind.

Summary:
Beyond the Super-Square: Art and Architecture in Latin America After Modernism, which developed from a symposium presented by The Bronx Museum of the Arts in 2011, showcases original essays by distinguished Latin American architects, historians, and curators, whose research examines architecture and urban design practices in the region during a significant period of the twentieth century. Drawing from the exuberant architectural projects of the 1940s to the 1960s, as well as from socially engaged artistic practices of the present day, the essays in this collection reveal how the heroic visions and utopian ideals popular in architectural discourse during the modernist era bore complicated legacies for Latin America - the consequences of which are evident in such vastly uneven economic conditions and socially disparate societies found throughout the region today.

Summary:
*** Malheureusement, ce livre est épuisé et il n'est plus disponible. *** Au terme de ses études d’architecture à l’université Cornell, Matta-Clark se réinstalle à New York, sa ville natale, où ses premières œuvres prennent la forme d’une série d’interventions in situ dans les quartiers déshérités du sud du Bronx. Le déclin économique et l’exode de la classe moyenne ont entraîné l’abandon de nombreux bâtiments dans le secteur : ils constitueront la matière première de Matta-Clark. Dans la série Bronx Floors, l'artiste démantèle ces structures, procédant à une anatomie de la dévastation du paysage urbain. Passant de New York à Paris, il réalise ensuite Conical Intersect – œuvre qui deviendra emblématique de la contestation artistique – en appliquant ses découpes à deux immeubles du XVIIe siècle que la construction du Centre Georges-Pompidou a voués à la démolition.
