Summary:
L'œuvre « dessinée » de Peter Märkli peut être étudiée indépendamment de son œuvre construite. Parfois, on retrouve ces dessins dans ses œuvres réalisées mais, en général, il s'agit plutôt de projets ou plus précisément de thèmes de projets en puissance. Pour Märkli, le dessin est un traitement sensible de stimuli et de suggestions, une appropriation personnelle d'une expérience. Ses dessins montrent parfois des marques d'effacement, d'hésitation. Ils sont lisibles en superposition et permettent de multiples niveaux de lecture, en épaisseur, en profondeur : il s'agit clairement d'une recherche de réponses. L'idée s'y décline en variations : couleur, proportions, hiérarchies, ordre, pleins et vides, mouvement. La feuille dessinée est donc le lieu où l'idée n'est pas « simplement » représentée ou décrite, mais plutôt ce chemin tortueux où elle naît, se développe et se précise. Après « Peter Märkli. À la recherche d'un langage », publié en 2019 par Cosa Mentale, Caryatide, propose à nouveau une étude approfondie de l'œuvre de Peter Märkli. Le livre « Peter Märkli. Dessins, disegni » se présente comme une réédition (édition franco-italienne), augmentée et mise à jour avec des planches inédites, de l'ouvrage original paru chez Quart Verlag en 2015 (édition anglo-allemande). Le livre est constitué d'une sélection du corpus de 700 dessins collectés au fil des ans par Peter Märkli lui-même. Les dessins sont accompagnés de huit essais écrits par des auteurs liés à Peter Märkli.

Summary:
Despite the fact that he shaped Venice and its contemporary form, Eugenio Miozzi remains a little-known figure. Yet both locals and visitors experience his legacy every day, in particular when they cross his bridges: from the Ponte della Libertà, to the Ponte dell’Accademia; from the various bridges over the Rio Nuovo, to the exemplary Ponte degli Scalzi. Miozzi, chief engineer of the Commune of Venice from 1931 to 1954, carried out a large number of works and projects, including a vast modernist parking garage and the Casino on the Lido. The prolific engineer-architect played a role in the development of the Teatro La Fenice, made plans for the restoration of the city and the extension of the Tronchetto, and designed a translagoon road and a motorway from Venice to Munich. These projects and the others presented in this illustrated volume represent Miozzi’s tireless efforts to guarantee the city’s survival by combining its centuries-old traditions with a spirit of innovation.

Summary:
Deux maisons et des bureaux sont construits sur un même terrain dans un environnement rural. Bernard Quirot et ses partenaires font du site un laboratoire reconstituant des histoires de l'habitation – l'habitat sur pilotis, l'habitat souterrain – mêlant des figures archaïques à des propositions avant-gardistes (les maisons du bush australien dessinées par l'architecte Glenn Murcutt ou la figure du bunker explorée par Claude Parent et Paul Virilio). Les trois réalisations interrogent trois matériaux et leur mise en œuvre dans une optique locale du « régionalisme critique » définit par les critiques Alexandre Tzonis et Kenneth Frampton.

The four states of architecture described in this book - horizon, light, atmospheres, and ground - are derived from contemporary interpretations of matter, light, and the natural world. This book features fourteen of Hanrahan + Meyers' projects, each of which is aligned with one of these states. The projects range in scale from individual residences to galleries, museums, and buildings for the performing arts. The context of ideas in which they are set crosses the boundaries that typically divide architecture, art, science, and experience.

Summary:
The Sydney Opera House is one of the world’s great icons and a symbol of Australia. The overall image which it has maintained does reflect the brilliant design work that Utzon invested in the project, even if it had a troubled history and it was subject to many changes. This book reveals for the first time exactly what happened. Francoise Fromonot has researched documentation relating to every single phase of project--in the process discovering a precious collection of photographic negatives depicting each stage in the construction work--and her story reveals how changes in the political situation and crude professional scheming led to the Australians ultimately abandoning the great challenge the Danish architect had offered them. The text and pictures tell a unique story, both of a building and of an architect who set us an example we still do not fully understand.

Summary:
The work of British architects ABK is characterised by the founding partners' belief that buildings should address far more than purely functional needs. Key issues for this practice since it was founded 40 years ago have become central concerns for architecture in the early 21st century: energy and the environment, historic context and the importance of user participation. Peter Ahrends, Richard Burton and Paul Koralek are particularly interested in the integration of art, architecture and landscape, an approach which has resulted in a series of collaborative partnerships over the course of their careers. This book traces the practice's development, from early landmark projects like the Berkeley Library at Trinity College, Dublin to the highly acclaimed British Embassy in Moscow, which opened in 2000. It also tells the full story, for the first time, behind the most notorious British architectural episode of the 1980s - how ABK won the commission to design an extension to the National Gallery in London, only to have it taken away from them when Prince Charles described the scheme as a 'monstrous carbuncle'.

Summary:
Building - for all its simplicity the title of this book speaks volumes about the work of Claus and Kaan. It reduces architecture to what they see as the essence of their profession. Kees Kaan and Felix Claus once claimed that their ambition was to extinguish the schism between low practice and high theory, between architecture that serves its immediate objective and architecture that speaks over the heads of its users to colleagues and critics. Severity and repose are hallmarks of Claus and Kaan's oeuvre and these qualities are often found in it simultaneously. For even at its most Spartan, their architecture is never harsh. Although one can hardly describe Claus and Kaan's architecture as postmodern, their stance does owe something to postmodernism. This can be seen in their free handling of references, such as Marcel Breuer's Whitney Museum or Mies van der Rohe's Barcelona Pavilion, and in their undogmatically broad range of interest, spanning from Heinrich Tessenow to Gordon Bunshaft and from Auguste Perret to I.M. Pei. For them there is no essential contradiction between modernity and classical values. This first comprehensive monograph on Claus and Kaan gives a complete overview of all their projects (250 or so), including those yet to be realized. Of this total, fifty are exhaustively documented and illustrated. With essays by Rafael Moneo, David Chipperfield, Andrea Deplazes, Christoph Grafe, Han Michel, and Felix Claus and Kees Kaan themselves. The book is designed by Karel Martens and Jaap van Triest.
