Summary:
This volume introduces the architecture of Kazunari Sakamoto through drawings, photographs, and text, yet does this using a special mixture of variously sized images made by both professionals and amateurs. Some were taken directly following a building’s completion, while others were made decades later; some are in colour, others are black and white. Texts by the editor are interspersed with fragments of the architect’s own words describing the architecture, the criticisms of others, and analysis from the period when a particular project was built. In this way the book’s format acts in concert with that of Sakamoto’s architecture, a coexistence and diversity of relationships.

Summary:
Zaha Hadid's gift to the world was a creative genius that captured the collective imagination and influenced designers to challenge the perceived limits that were once imposed by both aesthetics and engineering. Her sudden death in 2016 shocked the global architecture community and the public alike, inspiring a commitment to maintain her passion to create built spaces and works that are as unique as they are endearing to a fascinated global following. Zaha Hadid Architects maintains its commitment to her ideals of fluidity, innovation, originality and organic progression. This practice is driven by the development of rigorous interfaces between natural topographies, human-made systems and innovative technologies that have resulted in almost 1000 projects across the globe.

Summary:
This beautifully designed and illustrated monograph sets out Patrick Tighe's innovative, diverse and wide-ranging collection of contemporary work towards the post-digital, showing the reader a hyper-detailed analytical investigation of digital forms and their practices. It sets out how his architecture has brought a return to the real in an attempt to rethink the language and practice of architecture. The book's many inspiring and intricate drawings render clear the ideas that show the palpable energy and momentum that exists in this practice. In every instance, this firm embraces dichotomy, mining its potential to produce a more vital and consequential architecture.This monograph also includes an incisive introduction by Patrick Tighe and is augmented by two essays by Thom Mayne and Stephen Phillips, who also provide clarity and insightful discourse on how Tighe's work is continuously in transition and evolving, and how he's rethinking and engaging in a discourse to de-familiarize the familiar.

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 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:
Not only a complete monograph of Carme Pis architectural oeuvre, "Carme Pis : architectures" traces the development of her practice over several decades via an in-depth investigation of the recurring themes and concerns that inform her work.

This publication journeys from Pis early collaborations with Enric Miralles, characterised by an exploration of natural materials and forms that merge with their setting, to the evolution of her own emphatic works a striking articulation of complex shapes and spaces that maintain a clear commitment to the quality of construction while perfectly integrating with the environment, whether natural or urban. "Carme Pis : architectures" is a comprehensive overview of the atypical architectural expression of Carme Pis truly unique and intriguing practice.
