Architecture Thinking across Boundaries
Knowledge transfers since the 1960s Edited by Rajesh Heynickx, KU Leuven, Belgium, Ricardo Costa Agarez, Évora University, Portugal & Elke Couchez, University of Hasselt, Belgium
Reconstruction explores the immediate and longer term aftermath of the First World War on the architecture of Britain and the British Empire during the interwar years. Written by leading and emerging scholars, this collection of essays considers the complex effects of reconstruction on design, discourse, practice, and professionalism, and deals with the full spectrum of architectural styles and approaches, privileging neither Modernism nor traditional styles like the neo-Georgian. It brings to the fore social and political histories of the built environment, and makes important postcolonial interventions into the architectural history of British Imperialism at home and in its far reaches.
Architecture Thinking Across Boundaries looks at architectural theory through the lens of intellectual history. 12 original essays explore a variety of themes, each examining how architectural knowledge has been transferred across social, spatial, and paradigmatic boundaries – whether through international circulation of ideas; exchanges with other disciplines; or transfers from design practice to theory and back again – and in each case examining the resulting transformations and resistances. Taken together, the essays in this book offer a new perspective on the processes by which architectural theory is produced, disseminated and tested, and suggests many ideas for future exploration.

Bloomsbury Studies in Modern Architecture Kay Fisker
Works and Ideas in Danish Modern Architecture Martin Søberg, The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, Denmark Kay Fisker (1893-1965) is considered one of the most influential Danish architects of the twentieth century, and yet there has existed until now no in-depth English-language study of his works and writing. Published as part of the Bloomsbury Studies in Modern Architecture series, this book examines Fisker’s key projects – from his early railways stations and innovative housing projects to the Danish Academy in Rome – and analyses his work as a historian and writer.

Boredom, Architecture, and Spatial Experience
Christian Parreno, Universidad San Francisco de Quito, Ecuador Boredom, Architecture, and Spatial Experience demonstrates how an understanding of boredom affords us a new way of looking at and understanding the modern architectural experience. It reconstructs a series of episodes in architectural history from the 19th century to the present, combining archival material, literary sources and illuminating excerpts from conversations with practitioners and thinkers to explore how boredom became a normalised component of modernity, how it infiltrated into the production and reception of modern architecture, and how it serves to expose moments of crisis in the architecture of the 20th century.

Reconstruction
Despite being internationally-known for his work on Lafayette Park in Detroit, Ludwig Hilberseimer’s legacy has been obscured in the history of modern architecture. Whether this is due to the intense shadow cast by his long-standing collaborator Ludwig Mies van der Roh, or by his oeuvre being split between the differing languages and contexts of interwar Germany and postwar North America, it is now clear that he was an important Bauhaus teacher and central to avantgarde art and architecture in the Weimar Republic. This book argues that the time is now right for a critical reassessment of Hilberseimer’s work and writings.
