Global Citizen: The Architecture of Moshe Safdie accompanies a major traveling exhibition that explores this renowned architect's buildings and the philosophy that shapes them. Safdie's career has traced a remarkable trajectory in the canon of modern architecture, from the 1960s when the twenty-nine-year-old architect designed Habitat, one of the century's most significant experiments in prefabricated housing, until today, when he practices within an ever-expanding global architectureal culture. Safdie's canonical works combine the Social activism and advanced technologies of modernism with profound respect for historic and regional context. For his diverse clients, Safdie has created buildings where communities are forged of strangers, memory is enshrined, and identity is created in built form. This book features new photography and essays by Donald Albrecht and Sarah Williams Goldhagen that examine Safdie's role in contemporary architecture, as well as his use of architecture for advancing political, religious, and cultural agendas. Also included is a unique illustrated essay by Safdie examining the architect's thoughts on the global city in the 21st century.
Rivera, Kahlo, Tamayo, Covarrubias, Weston, Modotti, Álvarez Bravo, Spratling – Namen, die eng verbunden sind mit der international gefeierten amerikanisch-mexikanischen Kunst-, Fotografie- und Designszene der 1920er und 30er Jahre. Opulent bebildert spürt die Publikation dem dynamischen kulturellen Austausch nach, der für beide Seiten prägend war. Am Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts etablierte sich ein reger, profitabler Austausch zwischen amerikanischen und mexikanischen Künstlern. Die Amerikaner begeisterten sich für die mexikanische Synthese aus historischer und moderner Kunst sowie deren soziales Engagement, das im Kontrast zur US-Konsumkultur stand. Mexikanische Künstler hingegen fanden in den Vereinigten Staaten wichtige Finanziers. Mit Gemälden, Zeichnungen, Fotografien und grafischen Arbeiten aus dem Harry Ransom Center at The University of Texas in Austin und anderen bedeutenden Museen veranschaulicht der Band, wie dieses interkulturelle Netzwerk eine Vielzahl weltberühmter Künstler hervorbrachte.
