Vladimir Belogolovsky Livres

Der New Yorker Autor Vladimir Belogolovsky erweist mit dieser Ausgabe seine Reverenz an den gleichnamigen Titel von John W. Cook und Heinrich Klotz (1973). Wie im ursprünglichen Band geben berühmte Architekten Einblicke in ihre Gedankenwelt, die sich über ihre Entwürfe und Bauten vermittelt. Belogolovsky folgt den großen Vorbildern und bietet ein detailliertes Bild der zeitgenössischen Architekten durch dokumentierte Gespräche. Auf fast 600 Seiten präsentiert er Interviews mit 30 Architekten, die er im Rahmen seiner internationalen Kuratoren- und Autorentätigkeit geführt hat. Die Gesprächspartner sind ein Who-is-Who der modernen Baukunst, deren Ruhm längst über Fachkreise hinausgewachsen ist und die breite Öffentlichkeit erreicht hat. Ihre ikonischen Werke haben in den letzten Jahren so viel Aufmerksamkeit in den Massenmedien erregt, dass sie oft als Starchitects bezeichnet werden. Zu den Interviewten gehören namhafte Architekten wie David Adjaye, Zaha Hadid, Norman Foster und viele andere, deren Arbeiten die zeitgenössische Architektur prägen und inspirieren.

A Critic's Guide to 100 Post-Modern Buildings in Chicago from 1978 to 2025 Some architects regard a visit to Chicago as equal in importance to a pilgrimage to Rome or Athens: The soaring American metropolis at the shores of Lake Michigan has amassed an unmatched collection of first-rate buildings in every possible style since late nineteenth-century industrialization. This book looks at Chicago through the prism of Post-Modernism -- under the premise that this style did not cease to exist sometime in the 1990s, but is, in fact, still with us today. Starting with the 1978 Illinois Regional Library for the Blind and Physically Handicapped, curator and critic Vladimir Belogolovsky presents 100 structures, most of which were created after the turn of the millennium. These lavishly illustrated building descriptions are supplemented by introductory essays and interviews with Chicago architects, including Stanley Tigerman, Helmut Jahn and Jeanne Gang.

This architectural guide brings together 100 of the most original structures built in New York City since 1999. Vladimir Belogolovsky pairs them with such nicknames as Guillotine, Peacock, Shark's Fin, Turtle Shell, and Woodpecker. The New York-based author's selection covers buildings realized by the world's most renowned architects in a period when their creations were celebrated as art, and personal styles were encouraged by the media, critics, and clients. The featured time span begins with the rise of the starchitect in the late 1990s, and ends in the present day. But the mission of the book is not only to document; it is also to celebrate New York's transformative energy. Many of the buildings were designed either by foreign architects or those who settled in the city and now call it home. Through witty, incisive commentary, catchy nick­names, and quotes from the author's interviews with the architects, this singular guide allows readers to see many of New York's contemporary icons in a new way.

China Dialogues is a rigorously selected collection of insightful interviews that the book's author Vladimir Belogolovsky has conducted with 21 leading Chinese architects during his extensive travels in China.

An invaluable, thought-provoking collection of conversations with leading creatives from around the globe, including architects, photographers, designers, critics, artists, and others. Belogolovsky exposes the complexity of their thought process, while comparing and contrasting them to one another to distill more than 101 ideas.

A comprehensive survey of the work of a master of mid- to late-twentieth-century modernist design. Over the course of a career spanning more than five decades, Australian architect Harry Seidler embarked upon a long series of dramatically innovative and sculptural houses with a rare sensitivity to site, space, and structure. And while these soaring, inspiring houses have been the source of Seidler's fame within architectural circles, this book gives a complete view of this modern master's body of work for the first time. Seidler is now widely acknowledged as a leading member of the postwar generation of modernists and one of the most influential architects of the twentieth century in the southern hemisphere. With commissions not only in Australia but also in Austria, France, Israel, Italy, Mexico, and Hong Kong since establishing his own practice in Sydney in 1948, his work has influenced the course of modernist design into the twenty-first century.

Der Architekt und Publizist Felix Novikov (Jg. 1927) hat sowohl mit seinem baulichen als auch mit seinem theoretischen Schaffen die sowjetische Architektur nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg in entscheidender Weise geprägt. Neben seinen architektonischen Hauptwerken, wie etwa dem Moskauer Palast der Pioniere (1962) und dem Wissenschaftszentrum für Mikroelektronik in Selenograd bei Moskau (1969), war er der Erste, der in seinen architekturtheoretischen Schriften den Begriff der Sowjetmoderne als Bezeichnung für die sowjetische Architektur des Zeitraums 1955 –1985 wissenschaftlich definiert hat. Die vorliegende Monografie ist ein Schlüssel zum Oeuvre von Felix Novikov und erschließt somit auch eine immer noch unterschätzte Epoche der internationalen Architekturgeschichte.
