Summary:
"The Space Within" explores how interior space has been integral to the development of Modern architecture from the late 1800s to today, and how generations of architects have engaged with interior space and its experience in their design processes. In doing so, they fundamentally transformed the traditional methods and goals of architectural composition. As McCarter argues, for many of the most recognized and respected architects practising today, the conception of the interior spatial experience continues to be the starting point for design. Through historical and current examples of architectural works he takes us through how this is done, and eloquently places us within the spaces.

Summary:
Louis I. Kahn (1901-1974) a exercé une influence majeure sur l'architecture mondiale de la seconde moitié du XXe siècle. Cet ouvrage propose une présentation approfondie du travail de l'architecte à travers l'étude chronologique de ses œuvres ainsi que l'examen des thème fondamentaux qui l'ont guidé et leur évolution tout au long de sa carrière. Chacun des principaux bâtiments de Kahn, qu'ils aient été réalisés ou qu'ils soient restés à l'état de projet, y sont analysés, depuis le processus de conception et les idées maîtresses jusqu'aux techniques et matériaux employés, avant de continuer par une " traversée " des espaces eux-mêmes, suivant ainsi le souci premier de Kahn : l'espace intérieur et ce qu'il communique à son occupant. Chaque projet, accompagné de nombreuses photographies qui traduisent l'esprit animant l'œuvre de Kahn, est en outre doté d'un dossier illustré retraçant et documentant l'élaboration conceptuelle et les sources d'inspiration et idées qui ont conduit au projet définitif. Robert McCarter expose, à travers ce texte qui fait autorité, de quelle manière Louis I. Kahn a redéfini l'architecture moderne. Richement documenté, cet ouvrage propose une sélection de dessins originaux et de photographies provenant des Louis I. Kahn Archives ainsi que des plans redessinés récemment. Il comprend également des écrits inédits de Kahn ainsi que la publication, pour la première fois, de la chronologie intégrale de ses réalisations et projets, établie par William Whitaker, conservateur en chef des Louis I. Kahn Archives. Cette monographie constitue ainsi un ouvrage de référence essentiel consacré à ce grand nom de l'architecture.

Summary:
The Clyfford Still Museum was designed by the leading architectural practice Allied Works and its founder, Brad Cloepfil. The building creates space for the voice and artistic vision of American painter Clyfford Still (1904–1980), housing the vast majority of his creative output over a sixty-year period. The museum’s design is inspired by the work of Still and by its monumental context: the site is located at the intersection of prairie and mountains, within an urban district of major cultural buildings, vacant lots, historic housing, and new development. The building looks to the earth as a source of silence and profound connection to the elemental forces the artist explored through his painting. This publication presents the vision and realization of the museum from initial concepts to completion. A rich collection of stories, artifacts, documents, and conversations trace the evolution of the building and Allied Works’ unique creative process. New essays and photography examine its significance within contemporary architectural discourse and the singular experience of the completed work.
