Summary:
L'ensemble des textes et interventions publiques d'Alvar Aalto constitue une rareté dans la mesure où l'architecte s'est toujours déclaré plus enclin à construire qu'à écrire. La sélection de textes traduits dans ce recueil révèlent les thèmes qui ont parcouru sa carrière : humaniser l'architecture, prendre en compte le paysage naturel ou urbain, rechercher la standardisation en évitant l'uniformisation, répondre à la demande du plus grand nombre avec une extrême exigence de qualité, s'élever contre l'esprit réducteur du style international...Ces paroles d'architecte révèlent un Aalto sensible et secret et enrichissent la compréhension de son oeuvre dont le message reste universel.

Summary:
Sigurd Lewerentz (1885 - 1975) was one of the major Swedish architects of the twentieth century and was particularly known for his important religious works. This definitive monograph is the only comprehensive survey of his work, celebrating his sensitive and distinctive response to modernism in a detailed survey of both built and planned projects.

Summary:
From the outset the role of the atlas has extended beyond the geographic to the historical. It has been used as a means of comprehensively describing history as well as, of course, a tool for the teaching of history. Barkow Leibinger's Bricoleur Bricolage atlas is a historical tool of an altogether different sort from the sixteenth-century European projects and their many descendants interested in the mapping of all history. Yet this atlas shares with its early modern origins a belief in comprehensiveness, orderliness and chronology – in this case, of the projects, research and ideas that the Berlin office of Barkow Leibinger have undertaken during the past few years, or to be more precise, since such activities were catalogued last, in Barkow Leibinger: An Atlas of Fabrication, published by the Architectural Association in 2009.

Summary:
Acclaimed Japanese photographer Yoshihiko Ueda embarks upon an introspective pilgrimage to discover the architecture of Mies van der Rohe in this elegant photo book. His passion for the famed Modernist’s work is palpable, as he approaches each subject with loving, almost ritualistic care. Ueda’s camera often focuses on the details: textures and grains, doorknobs and furniture, the natural surroundings, the way the light falls, or overlooked corners and unexpected views. He guides us with a sense of physically moving through the place, glancing around, taking it all in with the repetition and progression of viewpoints. In short, a masterful presentation.
