Résumé:
Harrie Thomas Lindeberg (1879-1959) was one of America's most prominent 20th century domestic architects. He designed refined country houses throughout the United States for an elite clientele, and his name became synonymous with the rich man's country estate. Royal Cortissoz, in his introduction, cited Lindeberg's distinctive artistic personality as a key to his success and put him on a par with Charles McKim, Charles Platt, Henry Bacon, Stanford White, and John Russell Pope. Lindeberg was one of a large group of American architects who trained in the offices of McKim, Mead and White. Born in New Jersey, he served as an assistant to Stanford White on prestigious domestic commissions prior to White's death in 1906. Shortly thereafter he formed a partnership with his colleague Lewis Colt Albro and quickly became a sought-after designer of rustic country houses for the elite of American society. His style was urbane, refined and elegant, yet was always touched with a hint of idiosyncratic wit, much like that of his English contemporary Edwin Lutyens. His 1940 monograph is a rare and beautiful example of the folio retrospectives that chronicled the careers of leading domestic architects of the early 20th century. Virtually all of his major commissions are represented in large-format photographs and plans.

Résumé:
"New Living” (Das Neue Wohnen) was the title of an exceptional architectural propaganda film created in 1930 by German avant-garde artist and filmmaker Hans Richter. It show-cased exemplary modernist buildings and furniture – some of which were on view shortly afterwards in the prestigious exhibitions "The International Style” – and contrasted them with impractical, unhygienic living spaces. The visual diversity of "New Living”, and its use of an experimental montage technique, pioneered a radical new method of portraying architecture on celluloid. This publication includes detailed sequences from the New Living film, as well as numerous documents that illustrate the new style of architectural modernism. Previously priced at $96.00.

Résumé:
Wright publie ‘A Testament' à l’âge de 90 ans, alors qu’il a déjà publié une autobiographie. Autant dire que ce texte se concentre sur l’activité architecturale plutôt que sur les aspects personnels et dresse un bilan de son œuvre. Auteur de nombreux textes théoriques, Wright s’efforce ici de diffuser sa pensée, avec notamment une présentation synthétique des neufs principes fondateurs de l’architecture organique et de faire connaître ses réalisations. Comprenant des illustrations détaillées sur 66 bâtiments et projets, ce livre peut en outre être reçu comme une véritable monographie sur un architecte qui a exercé une influence considérable sur tous les courants du siècle. Traduit de l’anglais et présenté par Claude Massu.

Résumé:
Périphériques’ frequent participation in the international ArchiLab exhibition in Orléans and their contribution to the Architecture Biennale 2002 in Venice are sure signs of the national and international recognition which they are receiving. In 2000, Birkhäuser first published an overview of their architectural work entitled M.I.N.N.E.S.O.T.A. now out of print, and the time has come to document their latest works. This new volume describes Périphériques´ most recent buildings and projects. Amongst the realised buildings are the Maisons Icone and MR, the transformation of the Place Furstenberg in Paris, the Café Charbon in Paris, and no doubt the high point is the Cabinet d’art graphique at the Centre Georges Pompidou. Also included are a number of fascinating new projects such as the Small Towers in Tsumari, Japan, the concept for the Habitat shops in Paris and the urban plans for the new Parisian Cité Universitaire.

Résumé:
Japanese architect Shuhei Endo can be defined as an architect of steel, since he distinctly favors this material in the buildings he designs, continually experimenting with its infinite possibilities. His works are apparently weightless: undulating sheets of steel are twisted into spirals and wrapped around buildings in overlapping layers, like petals of flowers, or arranged on different levels to create a membrane around open spaces. This approach is most evident in the "great roofs" that house Endo-designed offices, such as Rooftecture N (Nisinomiya, Hyogo, 1998), or spaces for relaxation and meetings, such as Rooftecture T (Fukui, 1997), as well as private homes, such as Springtecture H (Harima, 1998) and Rooftecture M (Maruoka, 2001). Born in 1960 in Shiga Prefecture, Japan, he graduated in 1986 from the Kyoto School of Art and then joined the Osamu Ishii & Biken Associates architectural studio. In 1988 he founded the Shuhei Endo Institute in Osaka and began teaching at Kinki University, Kobe Design University, and the Fukui Institute of Technology.
