Museums have become the preeminent building type for the expression of new architectural ideas.

Summary:
Museums have become the preeminent building type for the expression of new architectural ideas. Holl's expansion of the Nelson Atkins Museum of Art achieves a fusion of architecture with landscape that redefines the boundaries of the museum-going experience while creating one of the most unorthodox and breathtakingly beautiful examples of recent museum design. Holl's structure emerges from the landscape as five interconnected glass structures or "lenses," which both draw light into the building and serve to accentuate the museum's sculpture garden, providing both new spaces and angles of vision. Executed through close collaboration with museum curators and artists, the building achieves a dynamic and supportive relationship between art and architecture. Combining an in-depth critical assessment by the eminent architectural historian Jeffrey Kipnis, a generous selection of the architect's preliminary watercolor studies for the museum expansion, and breathtaking photography, this volume will be an essential reference for anyone concerned with the future of architecture and museum design.

Werner Blaser, architect and author introduces the reader to the world of Tadao Ando's sunken architecture. In photographs, a method of construction is presented that has its roots in the traditional "earth dwellings" of northern and north-western China.

Summary:
Werner Blaser, architect and author introduces the reader to the world of Tadao Ando's sunken architecture. In photographs, a method of construction is presented that has its roots in the traditional "earth dwellings" of northern and north-western China. Yet Tadao Ando's in-ground buildings are no dark, cave-like structures. The interiors are illuminated through open atriums and large, deep-drawn areas of glass, thus giving light an almost palpable form. In the face of increasing environmental damage and urban housing problems, architectural strategies have to be developed that respect nature and do not put extra pressure on urban surroundings. With his sunken structures, Tadao Ando succeeds in building in accordance with nature, at the same time connecting tradition and present - thus making the cultural history of building relevant for the present.

Summary:
À travers une conférence donnée à Nancy au sortir de la guerre, Jean Prouvé interpelle les architectes, les techniciens et les politiques en charge de la reconstruction sur la nécessité de recourir aux maisons préfabriquées. La Maison tropicale, qu'il conçoit lui-même quelques années plus tard, apparaîtra alors comme la parfaite incarnation de ce manifeste.

Summary:
This book is a timely portrait of the work of an architect who expanded the vocabulary of modern architecture. Eero Saarinen and Balthazar Korab constitute a unique team in the history of architecture: Saarinen, the mid-twentieth-century architect who challenged the architectural conventions of his time, and Korab, an architect in Saarinen's office whose perceptive photographs reveal the brilliance of Saarinen's work. This visual sourcebook illustrates nineteen Saarinen commissions in photographs drawn from Korab's archive, providing multiple views of the buildings themselves as well as views of their construction and of architectural models that were critical to their design. Images of Saarinen's office and home provide personal ambience, and an introductory essay positions Saarinen's work within the broader context of his time. Seen in detail, such earlier work as the General Motors Technical Center (1948-56) or the Miller house (1953-57) show departures from orthodox modernism. Saarinen's assured handling of new materials and new building functions impart lasting value to his work, as exemplified by the iconic Trans World Airlines Terminal (1956-62) and Dulles International Airport (1958-63).
