Summary:
Adolf Loos (1870-1933) fut un personnage haut en couleurs dont la présence dans le foyer culturel qu'était la Vienne du début des années 1900 a galvanisé les constructions du pays. Défenseur précoce et passionné du modernisme, il rejeta avec force toute la démesure de l'esthétique sécessionniste qui prévalait dans l'architecture viennoise de cette époque, tout comme(...)

Adolf Loos (1870-1933) fut un personnage haut en couleurs dont la présence dans le foyer culturel qu'était la Vienne du début des années 1900 a galvanisé les constructions du pays. Défenseur précoce et passionné du modernisme, il rejeta avec force toute la démesure de l'esthétique sécessionniste qui prévalait dans l'architecture viennoise de cette époque, tout comme l'ensemble des marqueurs du style «style fin» européen. Au lieu de cela, dans ses discours et ses écrits tels que son essai majeur Ornement et crime (1908), Loos exprime sa «passion pour les surfaces lisses et précieuses». Il défend l'idée selon laquelle l'ornementation en architecture est, par nature, éphémère, prisonnière des modes et des styles du moment, et ainsi rapidement démodée. Ce faisant, elle entraîne le bâtiment qu'elle est censée enrichir vers l'obsolescence. Loos, profondément classique, argumenta plutôt pour des constructions simples, intemporelles, à l'esthétique traditionnelle et aux qualités issues de sa structure.

Summary:
Les projets de Lautner se concentrent sur les relations entre humains, espace et nature. Il a toujours été particulièrement sensible à l'environnement immédiat et aspire souvent à intégrer l'eau et le paysage naturel dans ses créations. Ses bâtiments se caractérisent par un toit immense, des murs en verre et des poutres en acier dans un mélange exaltant de fantaisie et de minimalisme. Rejetant toute norme architecturale, Lautner met l'accent sur les formes géométriques telles que les cercles et les triangles, en les agrémentant d'une multitude d'innovations technologiques. Son utilisation ingénieuse des matériaux de construction modernes, dont le béton, lui a permis de développer ses structures dans des lieux singuliers de la Californie et de bâtir ses édifices de science-fiction à flanc de montagnes, sur les plages et les déserts. Certaines résidences de la région de Los Angeles, dont la «Chemosphere» et le «Silvertop», se targuent de vues panoramiques et dégagent encore un charme semblant venir d'un autre monde.

Summary:
In "Civic Ground", Patrick Lynch traces the philosophical background to the work of his practice, Lynch Architects, one of the most interesting young architectural offices in the UK at the moment, raising wider ethical considerations about what it means to make good architecture and good cities today. Originating as a PhD, supervised by Peter Carl, Helen Mallinson and Joseph Rykwert, "Civic Ground" critiques the comparison of architecture with sculpture as a question of static form-making, arguing that parallels should be seen in the sense of dynamic rhythmic spatiality, which mediates and embeds a building into its site and civic context, reinforcing the communicative potential of architecture.
