Rotterdam, NAi, Enlarged ed. 160 S. Mit zahlr. auch farb. Abb. Originalbroschur. Einband leicht berieben. - I discern, even more clearly than five years ago, two strands in supermodernism. On the one hand there is a supermodern architectural aesthetic that is expressed in the work of Rem Koolhaas, Herzog & de Meuron, Jean Nouvel, Toyo Ito and countless other contemporary designers. On the other hand, supermodernism refers to what might loosely be called contemporary transformations of the built environment, many of which serve to erode the sense of place. The supermodern aesthetic has opened my eyes to these all-pervasive phenomena. The first category comprises buildings of high architectural quality which, however neutral, generic and non-symbolic their design, are bound to stand out precisely because of their excellence and in so doing impart meaning to a place, even if that was not the intention The second category comprises structures which are so generic and commonplace that, despite the occasional attempt to suggest specificity by way of historical or geographical allusions, they could stand anywhere. They include the themed casinos of Las Vegas, shopping malls that simulate historical authenticity and holiday resorts that strive to present the illusion of unspoilt village life. The new final chapter focuses on one aspect of this second category of supermodernism: tourism, which not only distorts our sense of place but also affects the way we look at things - including the high-style architecture of today`s super stars. ISBN 9789056622671Architektur 2002.

Almost four years since its initial appearance, Hans Ibelings' essay on the new tendency towards abstract, neutral architecture has lost none of its relevance. His identification and examination of the last word in modern architecture of the post-war International Style stands strong in projects by OMA, Jean Nouvel, Dominique Perrault, Herzog & de Meuron, and Toyo Ito, and is well understood in relation to one of the dominant forces of the present time: globalization. This enlarged edition of Supermodernism includes a new final chapter in which Ibelings charts the latest examples of supermodernism, as well as a revised introduction and conclusion in which he responds to the numerous reactions his provocative stance has triggered. Paperback, Ausgabe: Enlarged, Label: NAi Publishers, NAi Publishers, Produktgruppe: Book, Publiziert: 2002-12-15, Freigegeben: 2003-04-02, Studio: NAi Publishers, Verkaufsrang: 3605171.
