A lo largo del siglo XX, en las estaciones de servicio se ensayaron soluciones arquitectónicas que no siempre se podrían afrontar en obras de mayor escala o compromiso. En los años cincuenta y ...sesenta, en las gasolineras se fue diferenciando la zona de repostaje de la de servicios, dando lugar a soluciones singulares de cubierta, apoyadas sobre soportes centrales independientes, a medio camino entre la escultura geométrica y el alarde estructural. Las obras de conocidos arquitectos internacionales fueron entonces las referencias buscadas por los arquitectos españoles. En el artículo se estudian casos representativos de las nuevas tipologías y su relación con estaciones similares foráneas. Los análisis gráficos comparativos permiten identificar semejanzas y diferencias, concluyendo que sus autores no se limitaron a transcribir literalmente tales referencias sino que reinterpretaron o adaptaron soluciones ajenas a las limitaciones de un país autárquico que todavía sufría las consecuencias de su Guerra Civil.
Abstract
We analyse housing costs and patterns of residential development over the long term in a dynamic general equilibrium. We show that in a growing economy the speed of travel improvements is ...crucial to the evolution of land and house prices. We derive a condition for the rate of change in transport efficiency that generates flat land and house prices on a balanced growth path. We present evidence that this condition was satisfied in many countries between the mid-nineteenth century and the mid-twentieth century, but since then passenger transport improvements have slowed down with major implications for how house prices evolve.

In The Moderns, we meet the men and women who invented and shaped Midcentury Modern graphic design in America. The book is made up of generously illustrated profiles, many based on interviews, of ...more than 60 designers whose magazine, book, and record covers; advertisements and package designs; posters; and other projects created the visual aesthetics of postwar modernity. Some were émigrés from Europe; others were homegrown-all were intoxicated by elemental typography, primary colors, photography, and geometric or biomorphic forms. Some are well-known, others are honored in this volume for the first time, and together they comprised a movement that changed our design world.
"Han Hyung-mo was a major figure within South Korea’s Golden Age cinema. The director of Madame Freedom (1956), the most famous film of the 1950s, Han made popular films that explored women’s ...relationship to modernity. He was also a master stylist who introduced technological innovations and fresh ideas about film form and genre into Korean cinema. This book offers a transnational cultural history of Han’s films, one that foregrounds questions of gender and style. Han’s films embody a period style that Klein calls “Cold War cosmopolitanism.” The waging of the Cold War enmeshed South Korea within a network of ties to the Free World. Fostered by political leaders like Syngman Rhee, American institutions such as the US military and the Asia Foundation, and ordinary Koreans, these networks created channels through which material resources, liberal ideas, and cultural texts flowed into and out of Korea. Han and other cultural producers tapped into these networks to create new forms of commercial culture that meshed local concerns with foreign trends. Combining extensive archival research and in-depth analyses of individual films, Cold War Cosmopolitanism offers a fresh, interdisciplinary perspective on the waging of the cultural Cold War in Asia."
