Ils ont cependant créé des méthodes de développement du projet originales et sont les auteurs d'une réflexion approfondie des échanges entre architecture chinoise et architecture européenne. Cette monographie, qui leur est dédiée, et qui offre un large espace à leurs textes, se focalise sur les choix architecturaux, existentiels et techniques du couple, et plus particulièrement sur les constructions expérimentales élaborées pour leur propre usage, comme leur maison-atelier de Brigue et leur chalet Trigon (1955), parfaites illustrations de leurs préoccupations constructives et de l'ensemble de leur œuvre. Parallèlement à leur activité d'architectes, les époux Wenger ont poursuivi une activité d'enseignants. Heidi porte une très grande attention à l'écriture, et Peter a consacré de longues recherches à des variantes de structures comprimées-tendues, " tensegrity " ; sa production photographique de grande qualité éclaire l'ensemble de la démarche du couple.

Summary:
Therme Vals, the spa complex built in the Swiss Alps by celebrated architect Peter Zumthor, became an icon of contemporary architecture soon after its opening in 1996. Inspired by the spa’s majestic surroundings, Zumthor built the structure on the sharp grade of an Alpine mountain slope with grass-topped roofs to mimic Swiss meadows, captured here in a series of sumptuous images. Peter Zumthor Therme Vals, the only book-length study of this singular building, features the architect’s own original sketches and plans for its design as well as Hélène Binet’s striking photographs of the structure. Architectural scholar Sigrid Hauser contributes an essay on such topics as “Artemis/Diana,” “Baptism,” “Mikvah,” and “Spring”—drawing out the connections between the elemental nature of the spa and mythology, bathing, and purity. Annotations by Peter Zumthor on his design concept and the building process elucidate the structure’s symbiotic relationship to its natural surroundings, revealing, for example, why he insisted on using locally quarried stone. Therme Vals’s scenic design elements, and Zumthor’s contributions to this book, reflect the architect’s commitment to the essential and his disdain for needless architectural flourishes. This lavishly illustrated volume about the spa that catapulted a remote Swiss village onto the international architecture scene will entrance all enthusiasts of contemporary design.

After beginning as a prizewinning photographer, Horlitz turned to word-and-picture constructions, experiments with Xerox reproductions, and, recently, mirror-and-light works and architecturally related, site-specific projects. Throughout his career, language, either textual or scientific, has figured large--in one case as large as a six-story installation incorporating the sleep research of Alexander Borb ly, who has recorded his daily activity patterns since 1982 using a monitor strapped permanently to his wrist. These immensely inventive images and structures are discussed in essays by Klaus Honnef, Irene Netta, Sibylle Omlin, Hans Scheurer, and Stephan Trescher.

Price:

(available to order)
Summary:
A prominent practitioner, an influential theorist, and an esteemed educator, the architect Peter Eisenman today stands at the center of architectural discourse and debate. This book, a companion volume to "Eisenman inside out : selected writings, 1963–1988", gathers a selection of his later writings. In these texts Eisenman undertakes theoretical analyses, close readings of his own works, and innovative assessments of the designs and writings of other architects and critics. In an introduction to the volume, Jeffrey Kipnis looks closely at Eisenman’s approach toward language and writing, a practice in which architecture itself becomes a form of written theory, as well as at his context within a critical canon that includes Jacques Derrida and Rosalind Krauss. Presenting the range of Eisenman’s important contributions to architectural theory, this collection of nineteen essays provides insight into the architect’s own understandings and methodologies and offers provocative challenges for his readers.

Ce livre chronique une agence d’architecture compilant l’anecdotique de chaque projet pour les ré-assembler dans une tournure documentaire. L’agence GPAA documente en un carnet d’illustrations de 250 pages les projets, des plans à la maquette, du chantier au bâtiment fini. Les projets sont présentés chronologiquement, les uns avec les autres. L’idée développée est que le temps d’une agence d’architecture n’est pas linéaire et que le travail sur un concours peut influencer l’évolution d’un bâtiment en chantier. L’objet de ce carnet est de suivre le processus de conception architecturale au quotidien, de suivre sa temporalité, de déplier le télescopage des idées, des influences et d’une équipe sur 10 ans d’agence. Pendant deux ans et sous influence poétique d’Emmanuel Hocquard, Gaëlle Péneau a créé des temps de discussion autour de mots-clés, puis a invité chacun à créer son photo-roman.

Summary:
Although internationally known for his furniture, for his iconic Schröder House and for his relationship to the members of De Stijl, Gerrit Th. Rietveld developed a prolific career as an architect after his Neo-Plasticist phase in the 1920s. This double issue of 2G takes another look at Rietveld's domestic built work from his first Neo-Plasticist buildings of the 1920s to his death in 1964. In it we discover a trajectory which, without renouncing the Neo-Plasticist precepts of his early days, gradually takes on a more domestic and everyday cast in direct rapport with his clients. Along with his endeavours as a cabinetmaker, the issue of suburban single-family housing constituted a fundamental mainstay in his trajectory, one in which the everyday is intermingled with spatial exploration. The revisit to this less-known oeuvre of Rietveld's is preceded by essays by Marijke Kuper (editor of this issue), Hans Ibelings and Wim Quist, and culminates in the nexus section with various texts by the architect himself.
