HTS – YEAR 3 2010/1116 CANONICAL BUILDINGS/TEXTS + 16 ALTERNATIVES, 1901-1968

READINGYou need to use an ftp programme to access the course ftp site - like ‘cuteftp’ or ‘wsftp’ or 'Fetch'. All of the required readings are also in the library; please use this resource to your advantage. If you absolutely cannot find them or the ftp site is not working for any number of reasons, just ask!

All the texts and presentations can be accessed through Chris’s Inter 9 ftp site:

Hostname: aainter9.netUsername: student@aainter9.netPassword: chrischris

You cannot access the site directly via the web.

WRITINGThe submission this term, which will be discussed in group and individual tutorials, is to develop and present an in-depth understanding of a single project/building (built or un-built) or text which has not been directly addressed in the lectures and that was conceived or written between 1900 and 1940. Your submission must adhere to these criteria. You will be expected to present your initial ideas to your seminar group in the form of a short PowerPoint presentation. The form of the final submission will normally be a written submission. However, we are willing to accept submissions in other forms, e.g. drawing, etc., although we will expect that the alternative submission format is substantial enough to replace a 3,000-word essay.

To every age its art, to art its freedom

Gustav Klimt (1862-1918)

Tree of Life, Palais Stoclet The Beethoven Frieze, Secession Building

The reason why Loos’s ideas prevailed over a morecautious attitude lies in three factors:

1. His absolute anathema on ornament solved KarlGross’s problem (and everyone else’s – justifiable v.superfluous ornament) by a swift and surgical means.

2. He was timely and specific. At a time when ArtNouveau was falling into discredit, his attack on ornament was launched against named Art Nouveaudesigners, as well as more generally.

3. His mode of expression gave his argumentunwonted force.

Hendrikus Peter Berlage (1856-1934)

The truths on which he insisted were three:

1. The primacy of space

2. The importance of walls (what he called ‘fabric’) as creators of form

3. The need for systematic proportion
