“…"Transformations" proposed a particular interpretation of the heritage of architectural modernism, the global proliferation and corporatization of the International Style in the postwar period, and did not necessarily align with the architectural attitude held at the Institute-by historians and theorists as well as practitioners. 725 Here, Drexler exclusively presented realized projects in the form of photographs; this, above all, disqualified some representatives of what was known as paper architecture, as propagated by the New York Five around Eisenman. 726 While Frampton's first text, "Blow Up," was still a fairly objective review, his second piece, "Skylights: The Ins and Outs" was a revealing commentary in which he harshly criticized the exhibition's emphasis on images and hence the criteria for exclusion embedded in the curatorial concept; moreover, he attacked Drexler personally, accusing him of being motivated solely by sensationalism and of having betrayed his ideals.…”

»Building Institution« chronicles the expansion of architecture as a profession and discipline in the postmodern era. Kim Förster traces the compelling history of the Institute for Architecture and Urban Studies, which was active in New York from 1967 to 1985. Drawing on extensive archival research and oral histories, he constructs a collective biography that details the Institute's diverse roles and the dynamic interplay between research and design, education, culture, and publishing. By exploring the transformation of cultural production into a practice as well as the culturalization and global postmodernization of architecture, the volume contributes significantly to the institutional history of architecture.

“…Although, in the work of Frank Lloyd Wright, the functional decorative, design, and craft elements are still present to realise a "whole as an integral unit", taking inspiration from traditional residential Japanese architecture making use of integrated furniture [43], the architectural design pursues a dynamic spatial concept that introduces a different idea of integration [44].…”

Housing Design: Furniture or Fixtures? Accommodating Change through Technological and Typological Innovation

2023

The recent global pandemic has sped up architectural research in residential design aimed at rethinking housing layouts, services, and construction methods to accommodate the changing needs of the rapidly evolving contemporary society. New typological and technological design approaches are required to address, on the one hand, the adaptability of the plan as a result of higher flexibility and temporariness in familiar and working patterns, together with a downsizing of the layouts to ensure affordability and quality of life. On the other hand, the issues of sustainability and circular economy require specific attention to interpret the resilience of the building and the reuse/recycle of the fit-out systems. The paper aims at interpreting the notion of integration between fixtures and furnishing in housing design, based on a comprehensive literature review enriched with a case study analysis that shows design concepts and approaches rooted in theories and experiences of 20th-century architecture. Principles, potentials, and barriers to the development of integrated systems are highlighted and the possible implementation of industrialised production components, the potential for modularity, flexibility, and assembly are discussed.
