  Militant Modernism , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 225min

  Militant Modernism is a defense against modernism's many detractors. It looks at design, film, and architecture - especially, architecture - and pursues the notion of an evolved modernism that simply refuses to stop being necessary. Owen Hatherley gives us new ways to look at what we thought was familiar - Bertolt Brecht, Le Corbusier, even Vladimir Mayakovsky. Through Hatherley's eyes, we see all of the quotidian modernists of the 20th century - lesser lights, too - perhaps, understanding them for the first time. Whether we are looking at Britain's brutalist aesthetics, Russian constructivism, or the Sexpol of Wilhelm Reich, the message is clear. There is no alternative to modernism. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Toby Longworth. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/173230/bk_acx0_173230_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

  Modern Buildings in Britain (eBook, ePUB)

  The definitive illustrated guide to modern British architecture, from one of the most acclaimed critics at work todayModernism is now a century old, and its consequences are all around us, built into our everyday lived environments. Its place in Britain's history is fiercely contested, and its role in our future is the subject of ongoing controversy - but modernist buildings have undoubtedly changed our cities, politics and identity forever. In Modern Buildings in Britain, Owen Hatherley applauds the ambition and explores the significance of this most divisive of architectures, travelling from Aberystwyth to Aberdeen, from St Ives to Shetland, in search of our most important and distinctive modern buildings. Drawing on hundreds of examples, we learn how the concrete of Brutalism embodies post-war civic principles, how corporate values were expressed in the glass façades of the International Style, and why Ecomodernist experimentation is often consigned to the geographic fringes. As Hatherley considers the social, political and cultural value of these structures - a number of which are threatened by demolition - two linked questions emerge: what happens to a building after it has been lived in, and what becomes of an idea when its time has passed? With more than six hundred pages of trenchantly opinionated, often witty analysis, and with three hundred photographs in duotone and colour, Modern Buildings in Britain is a landmark contribution to the history of British architecture.

  Paisajes del comunismo (eBook, ePUB)

  A lo largo del siglo XX, el comunismo tomó el poder en Europa del Este y rehizo la ciudad a su imagen y semejanza. Destruyendo la planificación urbana del pasado imperial, se propuso transformar la vida cotidiana; sus amplios bulevares, sus épicos rascacielos y sus vastas urbanizaciones fueron una declaración enfática de una idea no capitalista. Ahora, los regímenes que los construyeron están muertos y desaparecidos, pero de Varsovia a Berlín, de Moscú a la Kiev post-revolucionaria, los edificios, su legado más evidente, permanecen, poblados por personas cuyas vidas se dispersaron y pusieron en peligro con el colapso del comunismo y la introducción del capitalismo. 'Paisajes del Comunismo' es un viaje de descubrimiento histórico que nos sumerge en el mundo perdido de la arquitectura socialista. Owen Hatherley, un joven crítico urbano brillante e ingenioso, muestra cómo se ejercía el poder en estas sociedades rastreando los bruscos y repentinos zigzags del estilo arquitectónico oficial comunista: el rococó supersticioso y despótico del alto estalinismo, con sus monumentos conmemorativos patrioteros, sus palacios y sus castillos secretos para policías; la obsesión de Alemania Oriental por los paneles prefabricados de hormigón; y los sistemas de metro de Moscú y Praga, una espectacular reivindicación del espacio público que fue más allá de lo que cualquier vanguardia se atrevió a hacer. Es una historia íntima de la Europa comunista del siglo XX contada a través de sus edificios; es también un libro sobre el poder y lo que el poder hace en las ciudades. Sobre todo, 'Paisajes del Comunismo' es un revelador viaje de descubrimiento que nos sumerge en la vorágine de la arquitectura socialista. A lo largo de sus viajes por el antiguo imperio soviético, Hatherley se pregunta qué es lo que puede recuperarse de las ruinas del comunismo, si es que hay algo que pueda servir de base a nuestras ideas contemporáneas sobre la vida urbana.
