Summary:
The Mikmak Foundation invited German architect Jürgen Mayer H. for the Designers of the Future lecture, because of the particular relationship in his work between research and architectural practice, combined with a strong interest in articulating the contemporary public realm, including the use and meaning of new media. The contemporary public realm faces enormous challenges, amongst others the introduction of a parallel digital public sphere. How should we envisage the role of the architect in an augmented reality of physical and virtual worlds? In this transcript of the lecture, Mayer H. discusses his viewpoints, research and architectural practice in four parts: ‘A-Way’, ‘Built Work’, ‘A Country’, and ‘Metropol Parasol’.

Ce ne sont pas là les uniques chefs-d'oeuvre de cette figure centrale de l'Art nouveau en France. Citons la maison Coilliot à Lille, la salle de musique Humbert-de-Romans à Paris, le Castel Henriette à Sèvres et les nombreux hôtels et immeubles dans lesquels, jusque dans les années 1920, Guimard se fait un devoir de tout dessiner. Architecte, il fut aussi un remarquable concepteur d'objets.

Summary:
This new monograph delves into an exciting selection of esteemed works by Delhi-based firm Morphogenesis, one of the most productive and creative architectural firms in India and a world-leader in zero net energy and sustainable design. This richly illustrated book combines stunning imagery with a comprehensive study outlining the firms strong philosophical design intent across a vast range of typologies: residential; institutional; commercial; hospitality; offices; houses; interiors; public and master planning. Morphogenesis reinterprets India's architectural roots and consistently employs passive environmental solutions for a unique, contextual contemporary language. The Morphogenesis journey is a reflection of the contemporary Indian perspective within the global context, incorporating its inspired, forward-thinking vision while respectfully referencing the spirit of traditional Indian subcontinental architecture, and all the while maintaining an intimate focus on the environmental context and culture of the project. This spectacularly beautiful volume is a strong addition to IMAGES' collection of the renowned Master Architect Series and a superb example of an engaged, highly principled and vibrant emerging architectural practice in Asia that is defining a global architectural brand for countries that share similar extraordinary levels of diversity in climate, scale, economy, and typology as is seen across the subcontinent.

Summary:
What began as an academic initiative to improve the quality of life of the poor strata of the population has now become a professional “do tank” offering services that cover the entire spectrum of urban development. The celebrated Chilean architect, winner of the 2016 Pritzker Prize and Director of the 2016 Venice Architecture Biennale, Alejandro Aravena (born 1967) founded Elemental in 2001 in his hometown with the goal of alleviating social deprivation directly instead of hoping for a balance of income relations. Besides building public facilities and public housing, Elemental also develops new approaches for the reorganization of resources and the potential of cities by means of projects devoted to infrastructure and transportation. This volume, first published in 2013 and now back in print, documents the social activity and history of the international architectural team and sheds light on its financing strategies, for example through participatory building.
