The first major retrospective to emerge from the archive of Paulo
Mendes da Rocha, shining important new light on his work Â
One of the most acclaimed architects working in Brazil since the
mid-twentieth century, Paulo Mendes da Rocha (1928–2021) began
building in the 1950s, championing an approach often associated
with “Brutalism†but expanding well beyond it. He is widely
recognized for having transformed the urban imprint of São Paulo.
His best-known buildings include the Brazilian Museum of Sculpture,
remarkable for its engagement with the site and its daring
structure; the renovation of the Pinacoteca do Estado, with
audacious metallic inserts; and outstanding private houses,
starting with his own. In 2006, he became the second Brazilian
architect, after Oscar Niemeyer, to win the Pritzker Prize. Â
This retrospective catalogue is the first major publication on
Mendes da Rocha since the establishment of his archive at the Casa
da Arquitectura in 2021. A team of international scholars provides
a comprehensive view of the architect’s trajectory and the
collective dimension of his work, along with thematic essays.
Mendes da Rocha’s identity as a South American architect
interested in the geographic relation between nature and culture is
underlined. The book’s contributors explore his concern with the
social and anthropogenic impact of the continent’s development,
as well as its colonial past and postcolonial future. The volume
centers around twelve of his most important buildings and reprints
two important essays on Mendes da Rocha’s work. This will be an
essential book on this significant figure of global modernism and
will point the way for future scholarship on Mendes da Rocha and
the architecture of contemporary Brazil. Â Distributed for

Born Charles-Edouard Jeanneret, Le Corbusier (1887-1965) is widely
acclaimed as the most influential architect of the 20th century.
From private villas to mass social housing projects, his radical
ideas, designs, and writings presented a whole-scale reinvention
not only of individual structures, but of entire concepts of modern
living. Le Corbusier's work made distinct developments over the
years, from early vernacular houses in Switzerland through dazzling
white, purist villas to dynamic syntheses of art and architecture
such as the chapel at Ronchamp and the civic buildings in
Chandigarh, India. A hallmark throughout was his ability to combine
functionalist aspirations with a strong sense of expressionism, as
well as a broader and empathetic understanding of urban planning.
He was a founding member of the Congres international
d'architecture moderne (CIAM), which championed "architecture as a
social art." This book presents some of Le Corbusier's landmark
projects to introduce an architect, thinker, and modern pioneer
who, even in his unrealized projects, offered discussion and
inspiration for generations to come. About the series Born back in
1985, the Basic Art Series has evolved into the best-selling art
book collection ever published. Each book in TASCHEN's Basic
Architecture series features: an introduction to the life and work
of the architect the major works in chronological order information
about the clients, architectural preconditions as well as
construction problems and resolutions a list of all the selected
works and a map indicating the locations of the best and most
famous buildings approximately 120 illustrations (photographs,
sketches, drafts, and plans)

The most thoroughgoing survey of nearly all of Le Corbusier's
extant projects, beautifully photographed and authoritatively
detailed. Le Corbusier is widely acknowledged as the most
influential architect of the twentieth century. As extensively
researched and documented as his works are, however, they have
never been exhaustively surveyed in photographs until now.
Photographer Richard Pare has crossed the globe for years to
document the extant works of Le Corbusier - from his first villas
in Switzerland to his mid-career works in his role as the first
global architect in locations as far-flung as Argentina and Russia,
and his late works, including his sole North American project, at
Harvard University, and an extensive civic plan for Chandigarh,
India. Le Corbusier: The Built Work provides numerous views of each
project to bring a fuller understanding of the architect's command
of space, sometimes surprising use of materials and color, and the
almost ineffable qualities that only result from a commanding
synthesis of all aspects of design. With an authoritative text by
scholar and curator Jean-Louis Cohen, Le Corbusier: The Built Work
is a groundbreaking opportunity to appreciate the master's work
anew.
Here, Jacob Brillhart excavates the "visual thinking" of the
twentieth century's pioneer architect, reproducing a selection of
175 drawings from the early sketchbooks of Charles-Edouard
Jeanneret, whom we now know as Le Corbusier. Between 1907 and 1911,
Jeanneret studied in Switzerland and travelled through Europe and
the East, filling sketchbooks with exquisitely detailed drawings.
Brillhart provides a physical and intellectual map for students,
travellers and lovers of art and architecture. The first book to
provide a succinct collection of Jeanneret's drawings, some of
which are previously unpublished, Voyage Le Corbusier encourages a
new generation to learn to see.
An essential exploration of how Russian ideas about the United
States shaped architecture and urban design from the czarist era to
the fall of the U.S.S.R. Idealized representations of America, as
both an aspiration and a menace, played an important role in
shaping Russian architecture and urban design from the American
Revolution until the fall of the Soviet Union. Jean-Louis Cohen
traces the powerful concept of "Amerikanizm" and its impact on
Russia's built environment from early czarist interest in
Revolutionary America, through the spectacular World's Fairs of the
19th century, to department stores, skyscrapers, and factories
built in Russia using American methods during the 20th century.
Visions of America also captivated the Russian avant-garde, from El
Lissitzky to Moisei Ginzburg, and Cohen explores the ongoing
artistic dialogue maintained between the two countries at the
mid-century and in the late Soviet era, following a period of
strategic competition. This first major study of Amerikanizm in the
architecture of Russia makes a timely contribution to our
understanding of modern architecture and its broader geopolitics.

Featuring new archival research and previously unpublished
photographs and architectural plans, this volume fundamentally
revises our understanding of the development of modern New York,
focusing on elite domestic architecture within the contexts of
social history, urban planning, architecture, interior design, and
adaptive re-use. Contributions from emerging and established
scholars, art historians, and practitioners offer a multi-faceted
analysis of major figures such as Horace Trumbauer, Julian Francis
Abele, Robert Venturi, and Richard Kelly. Taking the James B. Duke
House, now home to NYU's Institute of Fine Arts, as its point of
departure, this collection provides fresh perspectives on domestic
spaces, urban forms, and social reforms that shaped early-twentieth
century New York into the modern city we know today.
"Cohen's work brings new substance and new clarity to claims for
the proceduralization (or reflexivity) of law. Cohen denies the
independence of political-moral orientations from idealizations of
the legal form and the background models of individual, society,
and state that motivate such idealizations. She shows convincingly
how the legal-formal idealizations native to a debate between
classical and welfare liberalism inevitably mistranslate and
miscarry the distinctive aims of a constructivist, deontological
liberalism that differs crucially from them both."--Frank
Michelman, Harvard University
"I have read "Regulating Intimacy" with much pleasure and
profit. Professor Cohen illuminates the conceptual and policy
issues that arise when we try to encourage intimate associations
that are both free and responsible. This is a welcome contribution
to the integration of moral and social theory. It deals extensively
with contemporary legal doctrine, and helps us make sense of new
thinking about law and society."--Philip Selznick, author of "The
Communitarian Persuasion"
"Cohen has written an enormously impressive contribution to
legal and political scholarship sure to be of interest to a broad
audience of scholars, policy makers, and activists. Creatively
borrowing from recent debates within European legal theory about
the prospects of a 'reflexive paradigm' of regulation, she
demonstrates persuasively why traditional views of the proper legal
treatment of the domain of intimacy need to be reformulated. Those
interested in a host of ongoing legal debates about privacy and
sexuality will find answers to many of their questions here. Cohen
has authored a genuinely pathbreaking work whichshould influence
policy and judicial decisionmaking."--William E. Scheuerman,
University of Minnesota
"This is a bold, exciting, novel defense of privacy law. Cohen's
learned approach to arguing that privacy is neither arbitrary nor
archaic engages a surprisingly wide range of important contemporary
thinkers. Her selection of case studies is timely and of great
interest--giving the book immediate practical value. It will
attract many readers and critics."--Anita Allen, University of
Pennsylvania
Marcel Gautherot (1910-96) is regarded by many as one of the most
significant French photographers, yet his work is relatively little
known and even less published. Marcel Gautherot: The Monograph
features some 200 of his striking pictures from all stages of his
career, superbly reproduced in tritone printing. The images are
complemented by essays on his affinity for modern architecture, his
contribution to the history of photography, and on his attachment
to Brazil. The most famous part of his work is the body of some
3,000 images documenting the construction of Brasilia 1958-1960.
This, and other images he took of this extraordinary place until
the 1970s, is widely appreciated as a high point of 20th-century
architectural photography. Gautherot began an education in
architecture but very soon took up photography as well. He
travelled extensively in France and abroad and visited Brazil and
Peru for the first time in 1939, before being drafted into the
French army on the outbreak of World War II. Upon demobilisation in
summer 1940 he returned to Brazil and made Rio de Janeiro his home
for the rest of his life.
France, arguably more than any other Western nation, played a
central role in the emergence and development of modernism across a
variety of disciplines, with its architects in particular creating
some of the most iconic buildings of the twentieth century. Yet few
histories have attempted to grapple with the continuities and
breaks in France's architecture since 1900, particularly against
the broader international background. France: Modern Architectures
in History is the first book to present a complete narrative of the
unfolding of architectural modernity in France, dealing both with
the buildings themselves and also the political and critical
frameworks surrounding them. This book is based on more than three
decades of research on the architecture and urban design of the
francophone world, dealing not only with developments within France
itself but also the colonial context and the systems of exchange
with other countries including Italy, Germany, Russia and the
United States. Jean-Louis Cohen offers a new perspective on ideas,
projects and buildings too often considered in a narrow,
nationalistic perspective.He also maps France's architectural and
spatial development against its problematic search for national
identity, the background of European rivalries and the country's
colonial project. Authoritatively written and drawing on a wealth
of recent research, France: Modern Architectures in History will be
of interest to students, professionals and historians of
architecture as well as in other fields of study.
