THE NEW YORK FIVE

THE NEW YORK FIVE The New York Five refers to a group of five New York City architects

Peter Eisenman

Michael Graves

Charles Gwathmey

John Quentin Hejduk

Richard Meier

whose work appeared in a Museum of Modern Art exhibition organized by Arthur Drexler in 1967, and the subsequent book Five Architects in 1972.

These five had a common allegiance to a pure form of architectural modernism, harkening back to the work of Le Corbusier in the 1920s and 1930s, although on closer examination their work was far more individual. The grouping may have had more to do with social and academic allegiances, particularly the mentoring role of Philip Johnson.

PETER EISENMAN Is an American architect. Eisenman's professional work is often referred to as formalist, deconstructive, late avant-garde, late or high modernist, etc. A certain fragmenting of forms visible in some of Eisenman's projects has been identified as characteristic of an eclectic group of architects that were (self-)labeled as deconstructivists, and who were featured in an exhibition by the same name at the Museum of Modern Art.

EGERSTORM RESIDENCE AND STABLES

LUIS BARRAGAN (1902-1988) was one of Mexico’s most influential 20th century architects. Famed for his mastery of space and light, he reinvented the International Style as a colourful, sensuous genre of Mexican modernism

Although not quite down-and-out, Luis Barragán (1902-1988) had certainly hit a rough patch when a letter arrived at his Mexico City studio in 1975 asking if the Museum of Modern Art in New York could stage a retrospective of his career

Then 73, Barragán had built nothing outside his native Mexico, and was virtually forgotten there. He was so hard-up that he occasionally sold letters, sketches and books from his archive to make ends meet. But the beauty and orginality of Barragán's buildings - like the Tlálpan Convent and Torri Satélite in Mexico City - had made him a legend among his fellow architects, and they lobbied hard for his MoMA exhibition. A few years later, Luis Barragán was awarded the Pritzker Prize, architecture's answer to the Nobel

CHICAGO TNIBUNE TOWER COMETITION ENTRY

CHICAGO TNIBUNE TOWER One of the most significant events in the history of modern architecture was the Tribune Tower international competition in 1922 when the Chicago Tribune, the city's oldest and most important newspaper, offered a $50,000 prize for the winning design of "the most beautiful and distinctive office building of the world".More than 263 architects from three continents responded with a broad constellation of designs ranging from Byzantine to Bauhaus. The List of contemporary european architects contains Walter Gropius and Adolf Meyer, Ludwig Karl Hilbersheimer, Bruno Taut, Hans and Wassili Luckhardt and many more.

The design of the History Faculty building was the subject of a limited competition (1963). The winning design was conceived by James Stirling and the resultant structure is almost identical to the original plans although, after the competition, it was discovered that a part of the original site was unavailable to the University and the building was turned 90 degrees to fit the land available. The building was completed in 1968 and awarded a R.I.B.A. (Royal Institute of British Architects) Gold Medal in 1970. It is notoriously less popular with students.
