The Marseilles Unité & Le Corbusier’s edicts governing photography
The photographic representation of the Marseilles apartment block is indicative of these postwar changes. A key component of the urban vision put forth in Le Corbusier’s 1935 La Ville radieuse, the Unité d’Habitation, was the fruit of thirty years of speculation regarding collective living. It was offered as solution to the worldwide housing shortage that had been brought on by the destruction of the war and the postwar population boom. Like much of Le Corbusier’s earlier work, it was proposed as a ‘standard type’ and was intended to be reproduced throughout the world. It would be one of Le Corbusier’s most important and necessary buildings, and undoubtedly he understood it as such from its inception.This book chapter is published as Naegele, D.J., The Marseilles Unité & Le Corbusier’s edicts governing photography in Who Shot Le Corbusier?

Naegele\u27s Guide to the Only Good Architecture in Iowa
Review of: Naegele’s Guide to the Only Good Architecture in Iowa, by Daniel Naegele
Review of Tim Benton, LC Foto: Le Corbusier Secret Photographer (Lars Müller Publishers, 2013)
Tim Benton is an extraordinary historian of Le Corbusier. Thirty years ago, he published Villas of Le Corbusier, 1920–1930; in 1987, the prized catalogue to the London centennial exhibition Le Corbusier: Architect of the Century; and, in 2007, Rhetoric of Modernism: Le Corbusier as a Lecturer. In LC Foto: Le Corbusier Secret Photographer, Benton combines his knowledge of the architect with a remarkable understanding of architectural photography to reveal Le Corbusier’s personal activity as a photographer during the only two periods of the architect’s life when he took pictures: 1907–17 and 1936–38.Published as Naegele, Daniel, "Review of Tim Bneton, LC Foto: Le Corbusier Secret Photographer (Zuric: Lars Muller Publisher, 2013)," Journal of the Society of Architectural Historians 73 (2014): 426–427, doi:10.1525/jsah.2014.73.3.426. </p
The Wendingen Edition: What Frank Lloyd Wright wanted Holland to know in 1925
‘I believe that Holland will go far along the line of architecture; it is there that the architects seem to have taken root in my work,’ Frank Lloyd Wright told his wife-to-be Olgivanna on the day in 1925 that the Wendingen Edition arrived at Taliesin.1 And to this he added, ‘the enlightened minority does seem at this time to be strongest in Holland.’This accepted book chapter is published as Daniel Naegele, "The Wendingen Edition: What Frank Lloyd Wright Wanted Holland to Know in 1925", in eds.

Naegele's Guide to the Only Good Architecture in Iowa
Naegele’s Guide to the Only Good Architecture in Iowa is a deceptive title but it is not a misnomer. Guide is accurate. Iowa is fairly accurate. Naegele’s is there because this is a personal account, one that makes no attempt to be unbiased. Naegele’s qualifies Good, “good” being not absolute but contingent and personal and therefore a very questionable qualifier. Only is the title’s difficult word. “Only Good Architecture in Iowa” suggests that architecture is a scarce commodity in Iowa, a suggestion with which Naegele would agree if by “architecture” one means high architecture.
By Architecture, however, Naegele means “good building,” regardless of whether or not that which is built was designed by an architect or whether, in fact, it is a habitable structure or even a building at all. Most entries in this guide are concerned either with vernacular works that are habitable tools—barns, corncribs, ventilator machines, silos—or with built works that are not really buildings at all: billboards, bridges, murals, graveyards, landscapes, wind turbines and water towers. Only brings irony to the title, rendering questionable the assumption it asserts and initiating debate within an otherwise matter-of-fact description. Its inclusion in the title predicts the book’s mildly contentious, but always utterly practical, natureThis book is published as Naegele, Guide to the Only Good Architecture in Iowa. Ames, Iowa.

Joaquim Naegele: a voz dos subalternos ressoando de uma banda de música em Nova Friburgo (RJ)
Resumo: O presente artigo, oriundo de nossa pesquisa de mestrado defendida no PPGM-UNIRIO em 2015, tem por objetivo apresentar a figura do maestro Joaquim Naegele, atuante na Sociedade Musical Beneficente Campesina Friburguense entre 1925 e 1945, e discutir sua atuação enquanto intelectual orgânico das classes subalternas existentes em Nova Friburgo durante o período. Para isto, realizamos um levantamento acerca das sociabilidades locais, desde a fundação das bandas de música, a partir da segunda metade do século XIX, até a chegada de Naegele, dando especial atenção aos entrelaçamentos existentes entre a pesquisa histórica e a escrita etnográfica. A atuação de Naegele extravasara o campo estritamente musical, figurando nos eventos esportivos que congregavam as classes subalternas assim como no engajamento e militância política. Por sua posição de destaque na sociedade friburguense, sendo o maestro da Campesina, vemos em Naegele um porta-voz dos subalternos, capaz de realizar a interlocução entre as demandas desta classe com as possibilidades oferecidas pelas elites municipais.Palavras-chave: Joaquim Naegele.

Banda de Música.Joaquim Naegele: the voice of subaltern from a symphonic band in Nova Friburgo-RJ Abstract: This article come from our Master thesis defended at PPGM-UNIRIO in 2015, aims to present the figure of the maestro Joaquim Naegele, active in the Sociedade Musical Beneficente Campesina Friburguense between 1925 and 1945, and discuss his role as an intellectual organic of the subaltern classes existing in Nova Friburgo during the period. For this, we conducted a survey about local social, from the foundation of the music bands, from the second half of the nineteenth century until the arrival of Naegele, paying particular attention to existing entanglements between historical research and ethnographic writing. Naegele’s performance surpasses the strictly musical field, appearing in sporting events that congregated the subaltern classes as well as the engagement and political activism. For its leading position in Nova Friburgo society, being the maestro of Campesina, we see Naegele a spokesman of the subaltern, able to perform the communication between the demands of this class with the possibilities offered by local elites.Key-words: Joaquim Naegele.

Marketing Mid-Century Modern
Today, the label 'Mid-Century Modern' is a catch-all phrase in the USA, common in contemporary jargon, employed without discretion or understanding by real estate regimes and the man-on-the-street alike. Any older building that looks Modern is labeled “MCM.” An informed public, often mentally lazy, is apt to accept the implied sameness.
That this is not so is obvious in Bruce Goff's modern, curvaceous house designed in 1955 for the Franks, creators of the renowned Frankoma Pottery. Unquestionably modern, the house was built of their hand-colored tiles and shockingly glazed brick. Clashing patterns, ornamental embellishment, whimsy, tactility, are essential to its ethos, yet all adamantly violate Modernism’s minimalist aesthetic.
Nevertheless, the building is persistently referred to as 'Mid-Century Modern'. The inappropriate appropriation of this label hinders, rather than helps, seeing and thinking about Goff’s Frank House. A comparison can only assist understanding of both aesthetics.This presentation is published as Naegele, Daniel, Marketing Modernism: certainly not the ruffles, lace, and pleats of Goff's 1955 Frank House.

Louis I. Kahn
Lors d'une conference prononcee recemment a Philadelphie, Robert Venturi tenta une analyse critique de l'oeuvre de Louis Kahn selon une perspective post-moderne. Ilsouligna chez lui l'absence de dimension populiste, constatant qu'il ne s'etait jamais prete au sysmbolisme, ni n'avait use des signes de la convention ou du quotidien.This article is published as Maniaque,C., Naegele, D.

Report on Meteorological Research March 1, 1935 (m-1)
The object of the report was to elucidate in detail the various features of the research program in meteorology being carried on at the Daniel Guggenheim Airship Institute in Akron, Ohio. Mr. L. J. Fangman, of the U.S. Weather Bureau, was collaborating with the author in carrying out work such as a study of autographic records of the various meteorological elements during frontal passages with a view to the possible prediction of the intensity of the accompanying disturbance as it may affect the operation of aircraft and a study of atmospheric gustiness with a view to finding the dependence between frequency end amplitude of velocity fluctuations and the vertical temperature and velocity gradients
