Architectural photographer Juan Rodríguez brings his keen eye and perceptive sense of form, mass, and light to this extensive series of photographs featuring the architecture of Manuel Aires Mateus. In documenting work by this famed Portuguese architect, which has a strongly sculptural nature, Rodríguez has opted for the stark contrasts and dramatic lighting effects of black-and-white film. The buildings with their geometric shapes are usually white, possessing characteristic clean lines and bold volumes that stand out dramatically in their respective contexts, whether a natural landscape or urban setting.

Summary:
''Style and Epoch'' by Moisei Ginzburg, first published in 1924, was the architect's key work; it became the philosophical basis for the Constructivist group of architects. Ginzburg defined the new style in architecture that signified a break from traditional styles. After two industrial revolutions, architects were faced with new challenges by society. The response was an innovative approach to architecture that put people - their needs and functions - at its center. The author's understanding of global economic and cultural processes is evident in his description of the development of a style that came to define the nature of architecture in the twentieth century, which today we call modernism. The significance of this book in terms of an understanding of culture, the avant-garde and the subsequent development of modernist architecture is hard to overestimate.

Summary:
OMA - Office for Metropolitan Architecture - is one of the world's most influential think tanks for architecture and urban planning. With his intellectual approach to architecture, Rem Koolhaas, founding father and Pritzker Award winner, is much more than an international architecture super star. The architecture at OMA is developed in close cooperation with AMO, an associated yet independent design and research studio. Now, as then, the goal is to reconsider architecture, break from conventions, discover new possibilities. The journey is the destination, the architecture a never-ending process of constantly changing conditions and perspectives. This monograph on OMA highlights impressive projects from several years of architectural creativity by describing concepts, techniques and processes. And by presenting one thing above all, numerous architectural details.

Leurs projets concernant le secteur de l'éducation, du sport, de l'habitat, de la santé mais aussi du tertiaire et du transport, feront la démonstration de leur réflexion et leurs obsessesions en matière d'architecture et d'urbanisme. Créée en 1992, LCR ARCHITECTES, dirigée par Xavier Ratynski, Philippe Lapeyre et Keyvan Esna, implantée à Toulouse et à Montpellier, comprend aujourd'hui 22 collaborateurs représentant toutes les composantes du métier d'architecte : architectes, architecte d'intérieur, collaborateurs d'architecte, dessinateurs projeteurs, économiste de la construction, directeur de travaux, responsable administrative, responsable de la communication et assistante administrative. LCR Architectes poursuit ses obsessions : la géométrie. Avancé aussi abruptement, le propos ne pourrait prétendre à l'originalité ; l'architecture reste un art orthonormé. Toutefois, pour LCR Architectes, "l'investissement géométrique" est réalisé en amont, dès le concours, et tenu jusqu'à la réalisation.

These essays, comprising "How Little I Know," "Complexion 1976," "What I Am Trying to Do," "A Definition of Evolution," "'And It Came to Pass' (Not to Stay)," "Soft Revolution" and "Ethics," pursue the task of ushering in a new era for humanity by "always starting with the universe." Each of the texts is written in Fuller's "ventilated prose," an essayistic poem form that breaks up his thinking into lines and stanzas.

Summary:
A pioneer of "Water Urbanism" and the "Sponge City" model, Kongjian Yu is not only one of the most important living landscape architects, but also a keen observer of the present. His project proposals and his reflections on urban planning in China are a practical-conceptual reference with which to attempt to unravel the emerging questions of a planet threatened by environmental catastrophes, hydrogeological risks and a water crisis. Taking the foundational geometries of rural landscapes as a model, Kongjian Yu proposes very low technology water infrastructure works which, by activating an adaptive behavior, recompose intermediate landscapes between city and nature, concrete representations of the partnership between man and the element that, more than any other, generates and protects life and water.
