EX NIHILO: A Tale of Two Cities / Cees Nooteboom -- Monuments to Modernity, a Historical Epilogue / Martino Stierli -- "In 1960, Brasilia was celebrated as the realization of an urban-planning vision based on designs by Lúcio Costa and Oscar Niemeyer. At the same time, the city of Chandigarh, rationally laid out in sectors, was taking shape according to plans by Le Corbusier. The 'test-tube city' arose as an export of modernity from a Western planning euphoria that reveals utopian traits. Living with Modernity examines how modernism has been appropriated in the two cities. Commonalities and differences are identified while images of everyday urban life are showcased in photographs by the acclaimed photographer Iwan Baan. In his engaging essay EX NIHILO: A Tale of Two Cities the Dutch writer Cees Nooteboom reflects on the city as a man-made environment and describes how these drawn-up concentrations of human beings are changed and claimed by their inhabitants as their own over time"--Back cover. "First published by Lars Müller in 2010 and now highly collectible, Brasilia-Chandigarh receives a new printing in a compact format. Dutch photographer Ivan Baan (born 1975) was originally commissioned by the publisher to document two urban planning experiments undertaken in the 1960s: Lúcio Costa and Oscar Niemeyer's Brasilia and Le Corbusier's Chandigarh. In both cities, foreign architecture commingled with indigenous culture. This publication addresses how these two cities were transformed into works of modernism, and how the people who live in them acclimated accordingly. Baan's photographs reflect the questions and perspectives of the people who contextualize the spaces that surround us. This compact format includes essays by Cees Nooteboom on Baan's photographs and by Martino Stierli on the architectural and planning history"-- Architecture 54081 Pictorial works History 20th century Brazil Architecture 54081 Pictorial works 20th century India City planning 73701 Pictorial works History 20th century Brazil City planning 73701 Pictorial works History 20th century India Buildings 66571 Brasília (Distrito Federal, Brazil) 302551 Pictorial works Buildings, structures, etc. Chandīgarh (India) 302552 Pictorial works Buildings, structures, etc. Stierli, Martino 302553 lcc 27 NA855.6 General B336 2023 304932 304932 0 0 lcc 0 0 4 4 33 2024-06-11 Amazon 36.77 0 General NA855.6 B336 2023 91000000751487 2026-09-01 13:35:13 1 46.77 0000-00-00 27
