A Critical History of Contemporary Architecture

1960-2010

By: Elie G. Haddad,David Rifkind

1960, following as it did the last CIAM meeting, signalled a turning point for the Modern Movement. From then on, architecture was influenced by seminal texts by Aldo Rossi and Robert Venturi, and gave rise to the first revisionary movement following Modernism. Bringing together leading experts in the field, this book provides a comprehensive, critical overview of the developments in architecture from 1960 to 2010. It consists of two parts: the first section providing a presentation of major movements in architecture after 1960, and the second, a geographic survey that covers a wide range of territories around the world. This book not only reflects the different perspectives of its various authors, but also charts a middle course between the 'aesthetic' histories that examine architecture solely in terms of its formal aspects, and the more 'ideological' histories that subject it to a critique that often skirts the discussion of its formal aspects.

Cities of Spain

By: David Gilmour

Unlike France and England, Spain has not been dominated by its capital, and the focus of its history shifts from city to city over the centuries, illuminating different features of the country's past. Toledo, Cordoba, Seville and Madrid have at various times managed to establish a political and cultural supremacy, Cadiz and Barcelona dominated the economy in the 18th and 19th centuries. Salanca housed one of the great universities of medieval Europe while Santiago became the second religious centre of Christendom. In CITIES OF SPAIN David Gilmour takes us on a journey from Visigothic kingdom and the Cordoban caliphate to the Madrid of today. The portrait of these cities both now and in the heyday reveal both their spirit and their significance, and allowed the reader an intimate view of one of Europe's most fascinating and intriguing countries.

Vint-i-cinc anys més tard, tornen els Germans Miranda amb set de venjança. Deu sicaris literaris amb una llarga experiència en l'ofici i que són, curiosament, germans, van rebre, fa alguns mesos, un encàrrec al qual no es van poder negar: cada un d'ells havia de perpetrar un assassinat literari, basat en experiències pròpies o imaginades. No els vam dir a qui, ni quants, ni de quina manera, ni on, ni quan s'havien de cometre els assassinats, ni si havien de ser reals, inventats o somiats. L'única condició era que, armats amb la seva imaginació i les seves mortals eines narratives, ens presentessin assassinats originals, intrigants, emotius, impactants i, sobretot, que deixessin molt de rastre. Vosaltres, estimats lectors, ens haureu de dir si finalment se n'han sortit i han complert l'encàrrec. Si no ho han fet, ho sentim molt però no tindran ni una segona oportunitat ni una segona edició (o potser sí). Això, a més del prestigi professional, és el que es juguen els deu Germans Miranda a Assassins, aquest llibre que teniu a les mans i us moriu de ganes de llegir. Lluís Arcarazo Miranda ( L'Exterminador de Sants). Guionista, realitzador ocasional de documentals i exllibreter al mercat de Sant Antoni. Membre del club de petanca de la Selva de Mar. Sergi Belbel Miranda ( El Sàdic Ganyotaire). Autor i director teatral, professor ocasional de guió i exguia turístic de París. Soc un mag frustrat. Pep Bras Miranda ( El Joker Calb). Guionista, professor d'escriptura creativa i ex-Niño Polla de la literatura catalana. M'encanta sumar els números de la matrícula del cotxe que va davant. David Cirici Miranda ( Psychokiller). Escriptor, guionista i exassessor polític. Fan de Puccini. Piti Español Miranda ( El Clenxes). Guionista, professor universitari i extrapezista. El meu estat natural és l'entusiasme. Jordi Galceran Miranda ( El Butxaques). Autor teatral, cultivador de tomàquets i exfilòleg. M'agrada anar a mirar eines al Servei Estació. Enric Gomà Miranda ( L'Urtain dels Diccionaris). Escriptor, divulgador lingüístic i excol·leccionista d'esqueles. Busco una cuinera quinzenal. Jordi Lara Miranda ( El Bubulinu). Escriptor, cineasta i exprimer bandoneó de l'Orquestra de Tango de Barcelona. Darrerament m'estimo més badar que llegir. Joaquim Oristrell Miranda ( El Travis). Guionista, director i extutor del grup Parchís. Workaholic de mena. Matthew Tree Miranda ( El Cap de Pa de Quilo). Escriptor i lector. Exanarquista fracassat. El meu somni és vendre més llibres que Ian McEwan.
