Karl Langer
Editat de Tom Avermaete, Janina Gosseyeen Limba Engleză Paperback – 9 feb 2023
Confronted by tropical heat and glare, the economics of affordable housing, fiercely proud regional architectural practices, and a suspicion of the foreign, Langer moulded the European language of international modernism to the unique climatic and social conditions of tropical Australia.
Published as part of the Bloomsbury Studies in Modern Architecture series, which brings to light the work of significant yet overlooked modernist architects, this book is both an examination of Langer's work and international legacy, and also a case study in tropical modernism and the trans-global dissemination of design ideas - revealing how Langer sought to reconcile his training in international modernism with a fascination for the formal and visual languages of a regional culture, context, and climate.

Recenzii
This lavishly-illustrated volume is a fine piece of transnational architectural history writing, documenting the fascinating trajectory of a migrant architect who imported innovative ideas from cosmopolitan Vienna to the provincial Australian tropics and produced work of remarkable local sensitivity.
A compelling, innovative and timely story of migration, politics and creative collaboration from occupied Vienna to the tropics of Australia. This impressive constellation of authors each bring a fascinating, and carefully researched dimension to the Karl Langer story, not forgetting the crucial contribution made by Gertrude Langer.

Caracteristici
A large number of Langer's projects were unrealised and are therefore little-studied. The book will give access to this important body of work for the first time
