Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through the work of the Italian architect, theorist and historian Paolo Portoghesi (1931-2023), this book offers a new perspective on postmodern architecture, showing the agency of other spheres of knowledge – history, politics and media – in the making of postmodern architectural discourse. It explores how Portoghesi's personal “postmodern project” was based on the triangulation of a renewed interest in historical architectural language, unprecedented use of media and intertwined links between architecture and politics. Organized in a sequence of critical chapters supported by the analysis of Portoghesi's most significant architectural projects – including Casa Baldi (1959), The Mosque in Rome (1975–95) and his Strada Novissima exhibition (1980) – and publications, the book unfolds around the three main themes of history, politics and media. Published as part of the Bloomsbury Studies in Modern Architecture series, which brings to light the work of significant yet overlooked modernist architects, the study features previously-unpublished archival material, interviews by the authors and articles from professional and mainstream press to present Portoghesi in his multifaceted role of mediator, politician, historian and designer.

Book excerpt: Addressing some of the major issues plaguing education, particularly the scandal of illiteracy and the growing mediocrity in academic performance, David Solway argues that the current state of affairs in education is the result not simply of poor training in elementary school or the disappearance of grammatical study from the overall curriculum but of a larger cultural problem.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his landmark volume Space, Time and Architecture, Sigfried Giedion paired images of two iconic spirals: Tatlin’s Monument to the Third International and Borromini’s dome for Sant’Ivo alla Sapienza. The values shared between the baroque age and the modern were thus encapsulated on a single page spread. As Giedion put it, writing of Sant’Ivo, Borromini accomplished 'the movement of the whole pattern [...] from the ground to the lantern, without entirely ending even there.' And yet he merely 'groped' towards that which could 'be completely effected' in modern architecture-achieving 'the transition between inner and outer space.' The intellectual debt of modern architecture to modernist historians who were ostensibly preoccupied with the art and architecture of earlier epochs is now widely acknowledged. This volume extends this work by contributing to the dual projects of the intellectual history of modern architecture and the history of architectural historiography. It considers the varied ways that historians of art and architecture have historicized modern architecture through its interaction with the baroque: a term of contested historical and conceptual significance that has often seemed to shadow a greater contest over the historicity of modernism. Presenting research by an international community of scholars, this book explores through a series of cross sections the traffic of ideas between practice and history that has shaped modern architecture and the academic discipline of architectural history across the long twentieth century. The editors use the historiography of the baroque as a lens through which to follow the path of modern ideas that draw authority from history. In doing so, the volume defines a role for the baroque in the history of architectural historiography and in the history of modern architectural culture.

Book excerpt: Argan wrote: “Portoghesi's historical method does not consist in the relatively easy task of discovering Palladio in Aalto, or Borromini in Wright, but in the inverse and more difficult operation of discovering Aalto in Palladio and Wright in Borromini, in demonstrating that, given Palladio and Borromini, there cannot not be Aalto and Wright and what comes thereafter is up to the moral, personal commitment of the historian. One thus enters an order of necessity, the same by which the historian cannot avoid being a politician...poetics is not the premise, but the ethical necessity for commitment on the operational level of Art”. Faced with the unravelling of this historical perspective of continuity/circularity, Portoghesi assumes a critical stance towards the dramatic situation of architecture, suspended between individualistic exasperation and false consciousness; instead he seeks it beyond the present, backwards towards the past and forward towards the future. Portoghesi strives for an architecture of listening which rejects liquid modernity that exalts the arbitrary and self-referential nature of architecture, and where violent imagery seems the only means of expression. Portoghesi's works stands out as a phenomenon of tender growth/resistance against voluntary and obstinate amnesia unable to understand the secret forces of the earth. Ultimately, Portoghesi strives to achieve a Geoarchitecture inspired by a different mentality, one which narrates changes to one's Being in the world, where dwelling and building are indissolubly linked to Being. He follows on from Heidegger, Hölderlin and, even before them, Goethe and Palladio. Listening and ecology meet through ethical discourse on the place of dwelling and illuminate the hidden face of architecture that lives in the minds and hearts of all humans, revealing one of the oldest and most universal forms of religion: collective memory. More than a hundred built works and designs in Italy, Germany, France, Palestine, Nigeria and China narrate the differences in Paolo Portoghesi's creative designs. The book uses two methods to critically examine these works: history and listening. In 2005, reacting polemically to the irrational trends of the turn of the century, Portoghesi proposed the need for a Geoarchitecture based on geophilosophy, an architecture that still doesn't exist. An architecture of responsibility that inverts the direction taken by current developments, commits itself to giving human settlements back their choral nature, and builds a New Alliance between mankind and the environment.
