Perioden 1909–1931 blev avgörande för arkitekten Gunnar Asplund. Det var då han lade grunden till sitt livsverk. I den guldålder i svensk arkitektur och formgivning som brukar kallas Swedish Grace gick han i spetsen. Med Stockholms stadsbibliotek, Skogskapellet på Skogskyrkogården, Villa Snellman, Tingshuset i Sölvesborg och Stockholmsutställningen 1930 blev han en föregångare både i Sverige och övriga Norden.
Asplund lämnade ett rikt kulturarv till eftervärlden. Det speglar också en turbulent tid med världskrig, bostadskris, hungerkravaller och spanska sjukan som spreds snabbt i kaserner och trånga lägenheter. Byggnaderna formades i takt med demokratisering och modernitet och spänner över ett brett fält – från nödbostäder och begravningskapell till feststämd biograf i det glada 20-talets tecken.
Detta pionjärarbete är rikt illustrerat med fotografier, ritningar och skisser. Läsaren får följa Gunnar Asplunds arbete med olika projekt utifrån tidens villkor. Fram växer bilden av en mästerlig arkitektur som åskådliggör vår moderna historia.

A devastating, meticulous account of the history of Israel’s destruction of Gaza from an acclaimed architect and investigator'Urgent and essential' DAVID WENGROW'Extraordinary' ILAN PAPPÉEyal Weizman is one of the world’s leading experts on the relationship between violence, conflict and the environment, both built and natural. As director of the organisation Forensic Architecture, he and his team of interdisciplinary researchers document acts of state crimes and human rights violations around the world. Since 2023, the group has worked to produce evidence for the International Court of Justice’s genocide case against Israel.In Ungrounding, Weizman draws on that research to bring us on an eye-opening journey across time and into the 'deep cartography' of the area extending from Gaza’s subterranean tunnels through to its militarised topography, its unique soil, settlements and barriers. He catalogues, in unflinching and forensic detail, the Israeli campaigns of violence and displacement that have reshaped the region in an effort to make Gaza and its surrounding areas unliveable.Taking us through the broader geographic and historical context, from the Nakba in 1948 to the present day, Ungrounding establishes that architectural and territorial analysis is key to understanding the relationship between coloniser and colonised – and how Israel’s actions after 7 October escalated into violence so extreme and so far-reaching as to, Weizman argues, meet the definition of genocide.Deeply informative and profoundly affecting in its scope and precision, and illustrated with dozens of original images, maps and diagrams, Ungrounding is an essential document of atrocity in our time.

Pionjäranda accelererar under 1800-talet, från ångkraften och maskinella uppfinningar fram till modernitetens triumf med elektricitet och en helt ny byggnadskonst i natursten, stål och betong, influerad av USA, med de första kontorshusen, varuhusen och de elegantaste privatbostäderna.
1800-talets Norrmalm är den plats i landet där det moderna tydligast samlas och prövas med impulser från utlandet och direktkontakt med vad som sker i Paris och London, Berlin och Wien. De gäller industriella verksamheter och de senaste uppfinningarna, affärslivet och en för Europa gemensam stadskultur. Vi möter här många av landets främsta arkitekturverk, i form, teknik och uttryck, inte sällan förmedlade av invandrade affärsmän med brett ekonomiskt och kulturellt nätverk ute i Europa.
Vi följer medvetna framtidsidsmänniskor, söker deras argument och bevekelsegrunder, så som de kan avläsas i byggnaderna. Modernitetens avigsida träder fram med de många människorna i periferin, de som gör utvecklingen möjlig men själva lever i fattigdom och trångboddhet. Vi ser hur samhället liksom det maskinella arbetet delas och hur man skiljer ut människor från varandra. Nya, från varandra separerade grupper uppstår, bland dem de hemlösa och prostituerade.

I år är det 100 år sedan Swedish Grace gjorde succé ute i världen. Med debuten på den första världsutställningen för dekorativ och konstindustriell design i Paris 1925 lovordades svenskt konsthantverk och industriell formgivning. En ikonisk arkitektur spreds med verk av Asplund, Lewerentz, Bergsten och Tengbom med byggnadsverk som Konserthuset, Stadsbiblioteket. Skandiabiografen, Liljevalchs. I Stockholms Swedish Grace och den lite tuffare internationella varianten Art Déco, på hyreshusfasader och i portgångar. Allt lyfts fram med Rikard Larssons briljanta fotografier i en vacker volym njutbar för alla men är ägnad inte minst som aptitretare för den som inte redan vet allt. Rikard Larsson bjuder in till en härlig promenad i huvudstaden.

The Case Study House program (1945–1966) was a unique event in the history of American architecture. Sponsored by Arts & Architecture magazine, the program sought to respond to the postwar building boom with prototype modern homes that could be both easily replicated and readily affordable to the average American.Concentrated on the Los Angeles area, the Case Study Houses included 36 model homes commissioned from such major architects of the day as Richard Neutra, Raphael Soriano, Craig Ellwood, Charles and Ray Eames, Pierre Koenig, Eero Saarinen, A. Quincy Jones, and Ralph Rapson. Their criteria included “using, as far as is practicable, many war-born techniques and materials best suited to the expression of man’s life in the modern world.”The results of the program would redefine the modern home and extend influence not only across the United States but around the world. This compact guide includes all of the Case Study Houses with over 150 photos and plans, as well as a map showing locations of all sites, including those that no longer exist.

These photographs of once top-secret institutes reveal both fantastical and futuristic technology, alongside crumbling and decrepit facilities, forming a unique document of the condition and situation of scientific research in the post-Soviet landscape. In Soviet Scientific Institutes photographer Eric Lusito takes us on a journey through time, space and science. Gigantic control panels, monumental telescopes, inexplicable machinery – the facilities he documents might be found in comic book and graphic novel fantasies or the science fiction of Jules Verne and H.G. Wells. But why were these institutes built and what purposes do they serve today? The Soviets promoted science as a utopian ideal to replace religion and rapidly modernise the country. 'Big science' projects, primarily for Cold War military purposes, involved thousands of researchers working in complete secrecy. In the 1990s, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, many institutes were left destitute, their sophisticated technology condemned to extinction. But some scientists persevered, adapting to the new landscape. Today, defying the odds, they persist – even in wartime – to continue their work. Lusito gained unique access to sites across former republics and satellites of the USSR – from a cosmic ray research centre in the remote Armenian mountains, to one of the world's largest radars located in Ukraine, which locals believed to be a climate-altering weapon. The first visual account of this once closed world, this awe-inspiring publication bears witness to our never-ending quest for knowledge.

In the architecture of Richard Neutra (1892–1970), inside and outside find their perfect modernist harmony. As the Californian sun glints off sleek building surfaces, vast glass panel walls allow panoramic views over mountains, gardens, palm trees, and pools.Neutra moved to the United States from his native Vienna in 1923 and settled in Los Angeles. He displayed his affinity with architectural settings early on with the Lovell House, set on a landscaped hill with views of the Pacific Ocean and Santa Monica Mountains. Later projects such as the Kaufmann House and Nesbitt House would continue this blend of art, landscape, and living comfort, with Neutra’s clients often receiving detailed questionnaires to define their precise needs.This richly illustrated architect introduction presents the defining projects of Neutra’s career. As crisp structures nestle amid natural wonders, we celebrate a particularly holistic brand of modernism which incorporated the ragged lines and changing colors of nature as much as the pared down geometries of the International Style.

The untold story of Michelangelo’s final decades—and his transformation into the master architect of St. Peter’s BasilicaAs he entered his seventies, Michelangelo despaired that his productive years were over. Anguished by the death of friends and discouraged by the loss of commissions to younger artists, this supreme Renaissance painter and sculptor began carving his own tomb. It was at this unlikely moment that Michelangelo was given charge of the most ambitious and daunting project of his long creative life—the design and construction of St. Peter’s Basilica. In this richly illustrated book, William Wallace tells for the first time the full story of Michelangelo's final two decades—and of how the artist transformed himself into one of the greatest architects of the Renaissance.

In many ways the history of civilization is a history of our relationship with nature and landscape. Christophe Girot sets out to chronicle this intimate connection, drawing on all aspects of mankind’s creativity and ingenuity, and bringing together the key stories that have shaped our manmade landscapes. Starting from the dual inclination to clear land for cultivation and to enclose space for protection there emerges a vital and multifaceted narrative that describes our cultural relationship to, and dependence on, the landscape, right up to the present day. Organized chronologically, the chapters consist of a thematic essay that ties together the central developments, as well as a case study illustrated with specially commissioned photographs and meticulously detailed 3D re-creations showing the featured site in its original context. The result of over two decades of teaching experience and academic research at the world’s leading landscape institutes and universities, this masterful and hugely ambitious new interpretation of human intervention in the landscape will be essential reading for students and professionals worldwide.

Att bygga, det är målet, det enda målet, med varje kolonialt krig”, utbrast den franske marskalken Hubert Lyautey i slutet av 1800-talet. De europeiska kolonialmakterna lämnade efter sig ett stort urbant arv: de anlade nya städer och gjorde om gamla på flera kontinenter. Spåren av denna urbanisering syns fortfarande idag, på gott och på ont. Vilket tankegods låg till grund för de koloniala städerna? Och hur ser de nu självständiga länderna på detta arv? Med utgångspunkt i fem forna koloniala städer – Kolkata, Tunis, Harare, Swakopmund och Mogadishu – berättar Pernilla Ståhl om det kolonialt byggda. Pernilla Ståhl är skribent och radioproducent, med en akademisk bakgrund som statsvetare. Hon har rest till, och arbetat och bott i, många städer som planerats av kolonialmakter, t ex Mogadishu, Kolkata, Asmara, Tunis, Singapore och Yangon. För svenska läsare har hon i dagspressen introducerat flera böcker om kolonialismens urbana historia.

Kan du räkna upp antikens sju underverk? Listan upprättades redan 140 f.Kr. av Antipatros från Sidon, men inte ens han hade sett dem med egna ögon. Ett av underverken kanske aldrig existerat, ett annat hade raserats långt innan han föddes. Några eldhärjades eller rämnade under senantiken, andra demonterades i senare tider. I dag återstår enbart det äldsta av de sju - Cheopspyramiden. Men antikenkännaren Allan Klynne ger i denna bok nytt liv åt byggnaderna, med text och bild, och med hjälp av de senaste arkeologiska rönen och de äldsta vittnesmålen. Hur byggdes de, och varför, och hur länge bestod de? Varför upprättade man underverkslistor, och varför blev det just dessa sju?

Gumshoe is new series of architectural books, introducing a new approach to the writing of architectural history. It returns the focus of architectural discourse back onto buildings, in a style and form that is original and scholarly but also easy and enjoyable to read. It emulates the detective novel – a form of writing beloved by many, but also one that has enjoyed a parallel academic life in disciplines and by writers as diverse as psychoanalysis (Sigmund Freud), film (Sigfried Kracauer), and art history (Carlo Ginzburg) — but, significantly, not yet by architecture. Each volume will investigate a singular building as if it were a mystery waiting to be solved.Written by distinguished French architectural critic and historian Françoise Fromonot, the first case — The House of Doctor Koolhaas — is about the Villa dall’Ava, a private residence in Saint-Cloud, a suburb of Paris. Fromonot brilliantly unpicks, explains and interprets the very first building completed by Rem Koolhaas, who is universally regarded as the world’s most celebrated architect, and his Rotterdam-based firm Office for Metropolitan Architecture.

This highly acclaimed survey of modern architecture and its origins has become a classic since it first appeared in 1980, and has helped to shape architectural practice and discourse worldwide. For this extensively revised and updated fifth edition, Kenneth Frampton has added a new section that explores in detail the modernist tradition in architecture across the globe in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. He examines the varied ways in which architects are not only responding to the geographical, climatic, material and cultural contexts of their buildings, but also pursuing distinct lines of approach that emphasize topography, morphology, sustainability, materiality habitat and civic form. It remains an essential book for all students of architecture and architectural history.

Rare architectural drawings from the Gothic period uncover a flourishing tradition of design and draftsmanship, making this book essential for understanding the roots of modern architecture The Gothic era produced some of the Western world’s most imposing structures, today icons of the European cityscape. Unlike buildings from the Renaissance onward, these medieval works are rarely discussed as the products of the ingenious, innovative contributions of individual architects. This book challenges that common perception by asserting the significant impact of draftsmanship on the development of the Gothic style from the twelfth to early sixteenth century. The rediscovery of a little-known corpus ofarchitectural drawings and prints reveals the crucial role of drawings in the development of complex and visually appealing structures—from monumental stone cathedrals to small liturgical objects. Gothic by Design includes surprising ties to contemporary concerns, showing how these works on paper functioned on and off the building site, established the basis for modern concepts of artistic identity and intellectual property, and provided evidence of the long afterlife of Gothic design strategies and their potential use today in sustainable architecture.

A beautifully illustrated guide to the world of Victorian stained glass and its manufacturers and designers.Victorian stained glass – magnificent, colourful and artistic – adorns countless British churches, municipal buildings and homes. Across the decades, several artistic movements influenced these designs, from the Gothic Revival, through the Arts and Crafts Movement and into Art Nouveau as a new century dawned. Historian Trevor Yorke shows how craftsmen re-learned the lost medieval art of colouring, painting and assembling stained glass windows – but also, in this age of industry, how windows were templated and mass produced. Showcasing the exquisite glass generated by famous designers such as A.W.N. Pugin, Pre-Raphaelites William Morris and Edward Burne-Jones, and by leading manufacturers such as Clayton and Bell, this beautifully illustrated book introduces the reader to many wonderful examples of Victorian stained glass and where it can be found.

'A magnificent work of scholarship' - Edmund de Waal'I learned something new on every beautifully illustrated page' - Neil MacGregor'A fascinating book about a long-forgotten world' - Hadley FreemanA Country Life Architectural Book of the YearThrough a series of striking case studies this revelatory book explores the world of Jewish country houses, their architecture and collections - and the lives of the extraordinary men and women who created, transformed and shaped them.Country houses are powerful symbols of national identity, evoking the glamorous world of the landowning aristocracy. Jewish country houses - properties that were owned, built, or renewed by Jews - tell a more complex story of prejudice and integration, difference and connection. Many had spectacular art collections and gardens. Some were stages for lavish entertaining, while others inspired the European avant-garde. A few are now museums of international importance, many more are hidden treasures, and all were beloved homes that bear witness to the remarkable achievements of newly emancipated Jews across Europe - and to a dream of belonging that mostly came to a brutal end with the Holocaust.Beautifully illustrated with historical images and a new body of work by the celebrated photographer Hélène Binet, this book is the first to tell that story: from the playful historicism of the National Trust's Waddesdon Manor in Buckinghamshire to the modernist masterpiece that is the Villa Tugendhat in the Czech city of Brno - and across the Atlantic to the United States, where American Jews infused the European country house tradition with their own distinctive concerns and experiences. The book is part of the Jewish Country Houses research project at the University of Oxford.https://jch.history.ox.ac.uk/home

Fresh from their success with "Modernism London Style", hailed by The Financial Times on 29.6.13 as 'this gorgeous photographic survey', photographer Niels Lehmann and editor Christoph Rauhut present their latest exciting project. Fragments of Metropolis documents all the remaining Expressionist buildings in Berlin, arguably the movement’s most important architectural centre. The architecture of Expressionism heralded the onset of the roaring twenties. Berlin's remaining Expressionist buildings demonstrate a great creativity of form and a skilful use of light, colour and material. In contrast to the Bauhaus architecture of the same era, they sought complexity, vertical enhancement and drama to create the modern metropolis. Fragments of Metropolis documents 120 buildings in Berlin and its environs with Niels Lehmann's new photographs, drawings, an illustrated index of every building, and maps that divide the locations into areas. In celebrating the birth of the metropolis Berlin, the book is the rediscovery an important part of the city's heritage.

A celebration of Ukraine’s rich cultural heritage, drawing on over 100 of the country’s most important works of art and architectural monuments from prehistory to the present. Showcasing more than one hundred objects and buildings — from Byzantine icons and wooden churches to gold-domed cathedrals, folk art, and avant-garde masterpieces — Treasures of Ukraine chronicles the rich arts and heritage of a country currently facing destruction and devastation. The significance of the pieces is explained by renowned artists, curators, and critics, revealing the nation’s complex history and its impact on the present. From the development of ancient cultures like Trypillia and Scythia to early states such as Kyivan Rus and the Cossack Hetmanate, to the dawn of Modernism and the striking contemporary paintings and political artworks being produced today, Treasures of Ukraine reminds us that art and monuments represent powerful sources of collective memory and identity. All proceeds will be donated to PEN Ukraine, to help Ukrainian authors in need and support museums in Ukraine.
