Abstract
Izgradnja novog Novog sveta: amerikanizam u ruskoj arhitekturi
U okviru šireg fenomena amerikanizma, sistema kulturnog transfera karakterističnog za modernost i modernizaciju širom sveta, međusobni odnos s najviše paradoksa je onaj uspostavljen između Rusije i Sjedinjenih država, tokom dugog dvadesetog veka.
Svaki sticaj istorijskih prilika u sovjetskoj povesti, odlikovale su promene u reprezentaciji američke tehnologije, teritorijalnog razvoja, arhitekture i vizuelne kulture.
Sveobuhvatna analiza fenomena, koji su vrlo često ograničeni na – monumentalne – primere visokih građevina, podignutih u kasnoj staljinističkoj eri, trebalo bi da bude razvijena, kroz prizmu arhitektonskog i urbanističkog projektovanja, tako da se oslanja na analizu diskursa, projekata i građevina. Politika, umetnost, književnost, i tehnologija, trebalo bi takođe da budu uključeni u diskusiju o idealnim, i povremeno, izvedenim projektima.
Building a new New World: Amerikanizm in Russian Architecture
Within the broad phenomenon of Americanism, a system of cultural transfer characteristic of modernity and modernization worldwide, the most paradoxical bilateral relationship is the one established between Russia and the United States during the long 20th century.
Every historical conjuncture in Soviet history has been characterized by changing representations of America’s technology, territorial development, architecture, and visual culture.
A comprehensive analysis of a phenomenon all too often limited to the – monumental – case of the high-rise buildings erected in the late Stalinist era should be developed, through the prism of architecture and urban design, relying on the analysis of discourse, designs and buildings. Politics, art, literature, and technology have also to be involved in the discussion of ideal, and occasionally, built projects.

Žan-Luj Koen je arhitekta i istoričar, s dugim iskustvom u istraživanju moderne arhitekture i urbanizma. Studije arhitekture pohađao je na École Spéciale d’Architecture i Unité Pédagogique n° 6, u Parizu, gde je diplomirao 1973. godine; doktorat iz oblasti istorije umetnosti stekao je 1985, na École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales, kao i habilitaciju, najviši postdoktorski akademski stepen obrazovanja, 1992. godine.
Posle perioda u kojem je vodio Program arhitektonskih istraživanja pri Ministarstvu stanovanja Francuske, dobio je profesuru u oblasti istraživanja na arhitektonskoj školi: École d’architecture Paris-Villemin, 1983-1996, a u periodu od 1996. do 2004, mesto profesora istorije urbanog planiranja, na Institut Français d’Urbanisme, Univerziteta u Parizu. Od 1994, Žan-Luj Koen je Sheldon H. Solow profesor istorije arhitekture na Institute of Fine Arts, na Univerzitetu u Njujorku, a od 2013, na poziciji je profesora, s trogodišnjim mandatom na Collège de France, u Parizu.
Istraživanja profesora Koena usmerena su uglavnom na arhitekturu i urbano planiranje u dvadesetom veku. Posebno je proučavao arhitektonsku kulturu Nemačke i Rusije, kolonijalnu situaciju u Maroku i Alžiru, arhitekturu tokom Drugog svetskog rata; opsežno je tumačio Le Koribzjeov rad i istoriju planiranja Pariza. O središnjem pitanju u svom radu, pitanju kulturnog transfera u arhitekturi, urbanizmu, i vizuelnoj kulturi, profesor Koen diskutuje kroz prizmu odnosa između Italije, Nemačke i Francuske i, posebno, kroz prizmu odnosa između Rusije i Zapada.
U periodu od 1997 do 2003, imenovan je od strane ministra kulture u vladi Francuske, da organizuje Cité de l’architecture, muzejski, istraživački i izložbeni centar u Parizu, u Palati Šajo (Palais de Chaillot), koji je otvoren 2007. U toku ovog perioda, Žan-Luj Koen je vodio dva glavna odeljenja ovog centra: Institut Français d’Architecture (Francuski institut za arhitekturu) kao i Musée des Monuments Français (Muzej spomenika Francuske).
Profesor Koen je bio kurator brojnih izložbi, među kojima: The Lost Vanguard u MoMA, Museum of Modern Art (2007); Scenes of the World to Come u Canadian Center for Architecture (1995); Architecture in Uniform na istom mestu (2011), kao i u Cité de l’architecture et du patrimoine i MAXXI, Museo nazionale delle arti del XXI secolo (2014); Paris-Moscou (1979) i izložbe povodom proslave stogodišnjice rođenja L’aventure Le Corbusier (1987), obe izložbe u Centre Georges Pompidou; Le Corbusier, tainy tvorchestva u Музей изобразительных искусств им. А.С. Пушкина u Moskvi (2012); Interférences – architecture, Allemagne, France u Musée d’art moderne et contemporain, Strazbur, i Deutsches Architekturmuseum, Frankfurt (2013); izložba Žan-Luj Koena Le Corbusier, an Atlas of Modern Landscapes otvorena je u junu 2013, u MoMA (Muzej moderne umetnosti, Njujork), a sledeće godine je gostovala u Španiji. Takođe u 2014. godini, Žan-Luj Koen je bio kurator Paviljona Francuske na Venecijanskom bijenalu arhitekture, kada je primio i specijalno priznanje žirija.
Žan-Luj Koen je birani član Académie d’architecture, u Parizu, Akademie der Künste, u Berlinu, Росси́йская акаде́мия архитекту́ры и строи́тельных нау́к, u Moskvi, i Accademia di San Luca, u Rimu. Profesor Koen je bio nosilac istraživačkih stipendija u National Gallery of Art’s Center for Advanced Study in the Visual Arts (1987), kao i stipendista fondacije Geti u Getty Research Institute (1992-93). Takođe, dobitnik je individualne stipendije Graham Foundation u 2012 za publikaciju o francuskom arhitektonskom modernizmu, koja će uskoro biti objavljena u izdanju Reaktion Books; Žan-Luj Koen je istraživač John S. Guggenheim Foundation za 2013.
Dobitnik je mnogobrojnih nagrada, uključujući: Veliku nagradu za knjigu iz oblasti arhitekture od Académie d’Architecture, u Parizu (1996, 2012), Medalju, priznanje u oblasti arhitektonske analize od iste institucije (2003), the Art Book Prize (2013), kao i the Alice Davis Hitchcock Book Award, od Društva arhitektonskih istoričara (the Society of Architectural Historians, 2013). Profesor Koen je dobitnik Schelling Architekturtheorie-Preis, 2010, koju dodeljuje Fondacija Šeling (Die Schelling Architekturstiftung), iz Karlsruea , i koja je najznačajnija među evropskim nagradama u svom rangu.

His research activity has focused mainly on 20th-century architecture and urban planning. He has studied in particular German and Russian architectural cultures, colonial situations in Morocco and Algeria, architecture during World War II, and extensively interpreted Le Corbusier’s work and Paris planning history. The question of cultural transfer in architecture, urban design, and visual culture is central in his work, and has been discussed in reference to the relationships between Italy, Germany, and France and, with particular emphasis, in reference to the interaction between Russia and the West.
From 1997 to 2003, the French Minister of Culture appointed him to create the Cité de l’architecture, a museum, research and exhibition center in the Paris Palais de Chaillot, which opened in 2007. During that period, he directed the Institut Français d’Architecture and the Musée des Monuments Français, the two main components of the Cité.
He has been a curator for numerous exhibitions including The Lost Vanguard, at the Museum of Modern Art (2007); Scenes of the World to Come, at the Canadian Center for Architecture (1995); Architecture in Uniform at the same venue (2011), and at the Cité de l’architecture et du patrimoine and MAXXI (2014); Paris-Moscou [Paris-Moscow] (1979) and the centennial show L’aventure Le Corbusier [The Advanture Le Corbusier] (1987), both at the Centre Georges Pompidou; Le Corbusier, tainy tvorchestva, at the Pushkin Museum in Moscow (2012); Interférences – architecture, Allemagne, France [Interferences: Architecture, Germany, France] at the Musée d’art moderne et contemporain, Strasbourg, and the Deutsches Architekturmuseum, Frankfurt (2013); his show Le Corbusier, an Atlas of Modern Landscapes, has opened at MoMA in June 2013 and has traveled to Spain in 2014. In 2014, he has curated the French Pavilion at the Venice Architecture Biennale, receiving the special mention of the jury.
Jean-Louis Cohen is an elected member of the Académie d’architecture, in Paris, the Akademie der Künste, in Berlin, the Russian Academy of Architecture, in Moscow, and the Accademia di San Luca, in Rome.
