Summary:
In this comprehensive survey, Richard Weston traces the course of Modernism from its beginnings to its contemporary manifestations. He explores the Modernist movements of the early twentieth century – Cubism, Surrealism, Futurism and Purism – and concludes with the ‘post-modernist’ experiments of the 1980s and 1990s. He shows how the ‘tradition of the new’ became the creative credo of a small group of progressive artists and how, with the emigration of leading German modernists to Britain and the USA in the 1930s, the theory and practice of Modernism became widespread. What had begun as a cluster of loosely related artistic movements scattered across Europe emerged as the dominant style of the twentieth century.

Summary:
Since its foundation in 1987, Bennetts Associates has won numerous awards for its work and has established itself in the UK as one of the leading architecture practices of its generation. This is the first book to examine the firm's ethos and the themes behind its buildings. Four aspects of Bennetts Associates’ work are considered in depth-perception, form, construction and process-drawing on over 30 built projects in detail, as well as many others in various stages of design and construction. These projects, include Hampstead Theatre, the Wessex Water Headquarters, Brighton Central Library and the New Street Square development in the City of London. Each of the underlying themes is examined in turn by four well-known writers or commentators - academics Richard Weston and Peter Carolin, design process theorist Frank Duffy and art consultant Vivien Lovell.

Summary:
A detailed history of the international modern house, illustrated with 400 photographs and architectural drawings. As the basic building block of the human environment, the house has served as an inexhaustible playground where architects experiment with theories, styles, forms, and materials. Arguably, the best and most innovative residential architecture has been conceived and realized over the past 100 yearsÑfrom the cantileveral serenity of Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater to the spectacular Chemosphere, which resembles a UFO that has planted its landing gear in the Hollywood Hills. This book examines major shifts in international domestic design over the past century as it highlights a superb selection of extraordinary homes. Author Richard Weston engagingly tells the story of the twentieth-century house through eight semi-chronological design themes. From the Arts and Crafts period to the present, he covers a wide range of homes exemplifying each period and presents more than 100 benchmark dwellings with detailed architectural drawings. Weston also addresses the fascinating ways in which domestic design has both reflected and influenced the changing social climates and lifestyles of the past century, making this a book that will appeal to anthropologists, as well as architects, designers, and homeowners.

Summary:
Pour les architectes modernes, la maison individuelle a toujours été un lieu d'expérimentation et d'innovation, un moyen de mettre en application leurs idées, de tester des matériaux nouveaux. «Maisons du XXe siècle» rend compte en détail de ces évolutions, passant en revue les exemples les plus fameux de notre siècle ainsi que d'autres moins connus mais tout aussi représentatifs. Cet ouvrage s'organise de façon semi-chronologique autour de plusieurs grands thèmes : la maison comme œuvre d'art; maison moderne; les «machines à habiter»; lieux, climats, cultures; le rêve américain; modernisme scandinave; l'habitat post-moderne; continuité et mutations. À travers ces thèmes, l'auteur retrace l'histoire de l'architecture domestique contemporaine, du mouvement Arts & Crafts né dans les pays anglo-saxons à la fin du XXe siècle, jusqu'à nos jours. Chaque chapitre passe en revue un grand nombre de constructions, les plus importantes sont analysées en détail et illustrées par de nombreux dessins d'architectes, de plans, à travers plus de 400 photographies. Au-delà d'une analyse formelle, l'auteur propose ici une réflexion sur la façon dont l'architecture domestique reflète et influence l'évolution des modes de vie.
