How a visionary, never-realized architectural project, devised by one of the twentieth century's greatest artists, shaped architectural culture in Europe between the world wars. After achieving international acclaim as a painter and designer, El Lissitzky set out in 1924 to convince the world--and himself--that he was also an architect. He did this with a project for a "horizontal skyscraper," which he gave an obscure and untranslatable name: Wolkenbügel. Eight of these buildings, perched atop slender pillars, were intended to stand at major intersections along Moscow's Boulevard Ring, integrating the flow of tramlines, subways, and elevators. In Wolkenbügel, Richard Anderson explores Lissitzky's translation of visual and textual media into spatial ideas and offers an in-depth study of the surviving drawings and archival artifacts related to Lissitzky's most complex architectural proposal. This book offers a new and definitive account of how Lissitzky expanded the conceptual and representational tools available to the modern architect by drawing on many sources--including photography, typography, exhibition design, and even the elementary forms of the alphabet--to create the Wolkenbügel. Anderson shows how the production and reception of a paper project served to link key ideas and relationships that animated the worlds of art and architecture, offering a new view on received histories of the interwar avant-gardes. By attending to Lissitzky's singular architectural project, Anderson reveals the dynamics of internationality in the constitution of modern architectural culture in Europe.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
一位二十世紀偉大藝術家所構思的未實現的建築計畫，如何在兩次世界大戰之間塑造了歐洲的建築文化。
在作為畫家和設計師獲得國際讚譽後，El Lissitzky於1924年開始努力說服世界——以及他自己——他也是一位建築師。他以一個名為「水平摩天大樓」的計畫來實現這一目標，這個計畫有一個模糊且無法翻譯的名稱：Wolkenbügel。這八棟建築將矗立在纖細的柱子上，預計位於莫斯科環城大道的主要交叉口，整合電車線、地鐵和電梯的流動。在Wolkenbügel中，Richard Anderson探討了Lissitzky如何將視覺和文本媒介轉化為空間概念，並對與Lissitzky最複雜的建築提案相關的現存圖紙和檔案文物進行深入研究。本書提供了一個新的、權威的敘述，說明Lissitzky如何通過借鑒多種來源——包括攝影、排版、展覽設計，甚至字母的基本形式——來擴展現代建築師可用的概念和表現工具，以創造Wolkenbügel。Anderson展示了紙上計畫的製作和接收如何連結起藝術和建築世界中激發的關鍵思想和關係，為兩次世界大戰之間的前衛運動的歷史提供了新的視角。通過關注Lissitzky獨特的建築計畫，Anderson揭示了國際性在現代歐洲建築文化構成中的動態。作者簡介
