The Architecture of Ulrich Franzen: Selected Works

Peter Blake; Ulrich Franzen

Ulrich Franzen was born in 1921 in Düsseldorf. He studied architecture with Marcel Breuer and Walter Gropius at the Harvard University Graduate School of Design. From 1950-55 he worked for I.M. Pei before opening his own architectural office in New York in 1955. His encounter with Modernism had a determining influence on his work, and Franzen soon developed his own individual architectural language. Reference to context and collage, the bringing together of different elements in free composition are typical themes in his work. The spectrum of his architecture spans elegant, generous residences and severe, rigorous buildings for industry and research. He has also worked on projects in urban development.
This monograph presents the oeuvre of Franzen for the first time. It was written by the renowned architectural critic, Peter Blake and attractively designed by the well-known graphic designer, Massimo Vignelli.

Philip Johnson

Peter Blake

Philip Johnson, born in 1906, has done much to shape the architecture of this century, both through his buildings and his architectural criticism. Legendary is his influential 1932 "The International Style" exhibition for the New York Museum of Modern Art. Among the most renowned buildings from Johnson's extensive oeuvre - over 200 built works are to his credit - are the Glass House and the New York City AT&T skyscraper. In 1979, he received the Pritzker Prize. This monograph offers a comprehensive survey of Johnson's work.

The Master Builders: Le Corbusier, Mies Van Der Rohe, Frank Lloyd Wright

Peter Blake

The story of modern architecture is told here through the lives and works of three men who changed the face of the cities we live in. Le Corbusier gave to modern design a sure and brilliant sense of form; Mies brought an almost Gothic discipline of structure; and Wright heralded a new and dramatic concept of space and freedom. Through this triple focus, Peter Blake provides a perspective on the entire range of twentieth-century architecture.

No Place Like Utopia: Modern Architecture and the Company We Kept

Peter Blake

A writer, editor, critic, and practicing architect who has lived in the mainstream of contemporary architecture and art for over half a century, Peter Blake numbers among his friends and acquaintances (and occasionally enemies) virtually all the major figures of modern architecture. In this crisp and lively memoir, he traces the course of modern architecture from its birth between wars, with a strong sense of social and political idealism, to the elitism of the 1960s, and the beginnings of a return to its original principles.
