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.

Rather than having an unvarying style, these houses aim at the sometimes elusive ideal of the specific. Each house tackles a different design challenge, using site as the physical and metaphysical foundation upon which to build. Fusing building and situation, Holl creates a unique expression in each home. Beautiful and innovative, the houses span the globe, ranging from a secluded location in Hawaii, to the Catskill Mountains of New York, to Martha's Vineyard, to the Hague in the Netherlands. Each project is accompanied by Holl's charming watercolor building studies as well as an insightful explanation of how he was inspired by the land upon which the house sits and how the sumptuous materials utilized reflect the spirit of the location.

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.

Summary:
Depuis plusieurs années, je souhaitais rassembler quelques réflexions sur la notion de simplicité, telle qu'elle peut être mise en œuvre dans l'art et l'architecture et, plus généralement, dans la vie. Avec cet ouvrage, mon but est d'établir l'idée de " minimum " comme un mode de pensée, une manière de vivre et de travailler. La quête individuelle pour la liberté liée à l'ordre et à la quiétude a toujours existé à travers l'histoire. La plupart d'entre nous a, à un moment de son existence, ressenti le besoin de se défaire du superflu et de repartir à zéro. Pourtant, même s'ils convoitent ou collectent des biens matériels, les hommes sont souvent tentés par l'idée de voyager léger. Les grands créateurs d'œuvres, qu'elles soient artistiques, architecturales ou musicales, ont compris le principe de la présence de l'absence : en le réduisant à l'essentiel, l'objet créé gagne en clarté, en qualité et en force. Cette pensée se retrouve à travers divers pays et cultures. Bien que de nombreux ouvrages aient été consacrés à des sujets équivalents - tels que la communauté Shaker, le nomadisme bédouin et l'architecture cistercienne - aucun livre, jusqu'à présent, n'a réuni tous les aspects de ce thème. -John Pawson

While providing a panoramic overview the book also shows how each project was individually developed out of its physical and social context, with its form being a result of func- tional, technical, spatial and sculptural considerations.

His veduta are not merely created for their own sake, but rather serve, too, as spatial innovations for real buildings. Trained in the Classicism of his native city of St. Petersburg, the architect builds in a frank, modern style, whilst still enjoying the study of architectural ideas from previous centuries. This book follows Tchoban's trains of thought from the rivers Neva to Spree, using illustrations of his pictures and buildings, which were created in the studio of nps tchoban voss. The book shows how timeless principles for designing architectural space can flow from architectural history into contemporary architecture.

Summary:
Richard Meier, one of America's most influential and widely emulated architects, began his career in the early 1960s designing private residential projects, whose elegant modernist style and white facades have become icons of modern architecture. Renowned as the designer of large-scale works around the world, including the Jubilee Church in Rome and the Getty Center in Los Angeles, Meier has set an international style all his own based on the purity and power of his unique vision. This beautifully photographed volume is the first to document Meier's complete catalogue of museum and gallery projects, including the seminal High Museum in Atlanta (recently featured on a U.S. postage stamp in a series that includes the Guggenheim Museum and the Chrysler Building), the Museum of Contemporary Art in Barcelona, the Gagosian Gallery in Beverly Hills, the Getty Center, and the Ara Pacis Museum in Rome. Richard Meier Museums presents these and other celebrated projects in stunning full-color interior and exterior photography and extensive drawings and plans to give the fullest understanding of this modernist master's remarkable contribution to the art of museum design.
