内容简介

Book Description

Amazon.com

A collection of prose by Charles Moore, the architect whose work, some say, symbolized postmodernism. Accompanying his writings, which combine theory and personal reminiscences about his passion for designing and the importance of place, is a history of his artistic evolution, as well as his teaching career, and the recollections and testimony of colleagues and friends. The work is carefully edited Kevin P. Keim.

FromPublishers Weekly

Postmodernist maverick Charles W. Moore (1925-1993) was an indefatigable, globe-hopping "architectural nomadic monk" from Battle Creek, Michigan, who seldom stayed in one place for longer than two weeks, observes Keim, the architect's longtime friend and collaborator. Rejecting the uncompromising doctrines of modernism as a Princeton grad student, and later as chair of Yale's architecture department in the mid-1960s, Moore willfully plunged into eras, cultures and styles, absorbing what he could from Piranesi, Spain's Alhambra palace, Balinese villages, chaos theory, Palladian villas, Fellini, Japanese Zen architecture. This generously illustrated dossier, combining Moore's reminiscences, travel diary excerpts, letters and essays plus recollections by friends and collaborators, all woven together by Keim's biographical narrative, provides a surprisingly intimate portrait of a driven, irreverent innovator who cloaked his strong ego in self-deprecation and shyness.

FromLibrary Journal

This charming, endearing book documents the life of Charles Moore as opposed to his works, which have been covered in previous monographs. Combining the memoirs Moore was writing at the time of his death with writings of his assistant, Keim, the book contains reminiscences, letters, tributes, and a straightforward narration of Moore's peripatetic life. The word peripatetic was invented for Moore, an eccentric architect who traveled incessantly. Most architects would be happy to establish a single, thriving architectural practice in one city. Moore established four in three states in the course of his lifetime and was also an influential educator as dean of the Yale School of Architecture in the 1960s and as professor at the University of Texas until his death in 1993. Through dazzling, iconoclastic, Mannerist works Moore seeded and nourished the development of postmodernism in America among generations of colleagues and students. A selfless bon vivant, he is still mourned by many and well memorialized in this book.?Peter Kaufman, Boston Architectural Ctr.
