Museum of Modern Art

Résumé

Le Museum of Modern Art, connu sous l'acronyme MoMA, est un musée d'art moderne et contemporain inauguré en 1929 et situé depuis 1939 dans le quartier de Midtown à Manhattan, New York sur la rue, entre les cinquième et sixième avenues. Le MoMA fait partie des musées d'art moderne les plus importants et les plus influents dans le monde. La collection du MoMA offre un aperçu de l'art moderne et contemporain, principalement européen et américain ; elle comprend des dessins, peintures, estampes, sculptures, photographies, des œuvres d'architecture et de design, des livres illustrés et livres d’artistes, des films et des médias électroniques. La bibliothèque du MoMA comprend environ et catalogues d'expositions, plus de de périodiques et plus de éphémères sur des artistes ou des mouvements. Les archives contiennent des sources primaires liées à l'histoire de l'art moderne et contemporain. Historique Au milieu des années 1920, trois femmes, Abby Aldrich Rockefeller (épouse

German Concrete. The Science of Cement from Trass to Portland, 1819-1877.

Salvatore Aprea

This book describes for the first time ever, the rise of the modern art of building with concrete in the different German territories stretching from Friesland to Pomerania and southwards from Bavaria to Baden during the first three quarters of the 19th century. Based on careful analyses of historic documents and literature, the book traces an engaging history of master builders, engineers, architects, theoreticians, chemists and inventors tracking the evolution of different building techniques, materials, studies and experiments concerning concrete. It analyses German master builders' consideration for classical building culture and for contemporaneous constructions observed in neighbouring countries. This narration starts at the turn of the 19th century with early scientific studies on cement, examples of rudimentary concrete used as filling material in small hydraulic foundations and attempts at producing mortar-based artificial stones and moulded objects. The account then follows the progression of cement and the abilities of master builders who worked with concrete until crucial evolutionary stages were reached in the 1870s. Early scientific theories about the chemical reactions in the production and hardening of cement were developed; concrete was finally used to build huge underwater foundations as well as entire houses; the production of mortar-based artificial stones and moulded objects became an important manufacturing branch; the first standards for the production and sale of Portland cement were defined and officially implemented.

Gilles Deleuze was used to say that philosophers are creators of concepts, extracted by a continuous flux of thinking (Deleuze 1980). These concepts, during a period of intense exchange between disciplines in the 20th century, have not been limited to philosophy as they were employed in Computer Science and Design differently. On one hand, Computer Science uses concepts to stabilize technology language and design architectures (Ciborra 2004); on the other hand, Design makes use of concepts as a creative method in the design process (MoMA 1972). This presentation aims to bring together a common ground in order to establish a shared view that might be useful for the creation of design objects (visualizations, books, and web sites) within the project.
