Summary:
Hans Hollein (1934–2014), Austria’s only Pritzker Prize laureate and a self-proclaimed avant-gardist of the 1960s, was a meticulous curator of his own work throughout his life. At the same time, the reception of this work was often overshadowed by Hollein’s immense personality. "Hollein calling: Architectural dialogues" explores the Hollein phenomenon from a contemporary perspective. In dialogue with the positions of a younger generation, this book revaluates and brings back into the current discourse Hollein’s thinking and designs. The first part offers interviews with fifteen European firms in which they talk about their relationship to Hollein and his oeuvre, ranging from profound knowledge or selective admiration of specific aspects to skepticism and criticism. Topics such as cultural identity, visual worlds, design tools, and architecture as an independent cultural production run as a thread through these conversations. The second part features a selection of Hollein’s buildings through sketches, models, photographs, prototypes, and documents from the Archive Hans Hollein, Az W and MAK, Vienna—many of which are published here for the first time—as well as new contextualizing texts. The two sections are connected by a grid of key terms formed from pertinent texts and images.

La cifra identitaria della produzione di Paulo Mendes da Rocha si origina nelle geometrie del suo pensiero creativo, per poi tradursi in poetica del costruire, espressa in un’architettura di sorprendente essenzialità compositiva e sapere tecnico, in grado di accompagnare il divenire delle società.

Summary:
La cifra identitaria della produzione di Paulo Mendes da Rocha si origina nelle geometrie del suo pensiero creativo, per poi tradursi in poetica del costruire, espressa in un’architettura di sorprendente essenzialità compositiva e sapere tecnico, in grado di accompagnare il divenire delle società. Pur radicate nella realtà contingente, e incessantemente alimentate dalla quotidianità del contesto, le opere del progettista brasiliano esprimono le sue capacità trasformative, proiettandosi in nuove spazialità, sino ad interpretare, con coerenza costante, i sentimenti di un popolo e di un’era. Nel presentare la figura di Mendes da Rocha rimarcando l’attenzione su alcuni aspetti sostanziali del suo fare architettonico, quali la riflessione sull’urbano, la metodologia progettuale e la sapienza costruttiva, il volume approfondisce tre opere della contemporaneità. Copertura di Praça do Patriarca, SESC 24 de Maio e Museu Nacional dos Coches sono presentati come emblemi della sua visione dinamica, immaginifica e al contempo realistica, alla quale va associato il carattere durevole delle sue realizzazioni, qui lette in un perenne divenire.

Based in Los Angeles, Tom Wiscombe heads an internationally recognised architecture practice, known for its powerful massing, graphic qualities, and tectonic inventiveness. His team’s approach stems from their theory of the flat ontology of architecture, which imagines architecture – and the world – as a set of discrete, lively entities that exist democratically on a flat(...)

His team’s approach stems from their theory of the flat ontology of architecture, which imagines architecture – and the world – as a set of discrete, lively entities that exist democratically on a flat plane. In this imposing monograph, the practice challenges the discipline of architecture to reimagine its place in contemporary culture. A body of work produced over the last decade is presented as part of a constellation of objects, ideas, precedents, and references and articulated with humour and clarity.

Cette publication témoigne de l’esprit qui animait l’Atelier Pierre Thibault au moment de la conception de la Fondation Grantham (2015-2019); projet architectural qui s’inscrit dans la continuité de la maison des Abouts (2001-2005), sise sur le lot voisin. Dans son texte, Lesley Johnstone décrit ce lieu magique qui entoure les deux bâtiments, conçus sur une période de quinze ans par Pierre Thibault et dont Michel Paradis et Bernard Landriault, cofondateurs de la Fondation Grantham, en sont les propriétaires. On parle d’un lieu où les artistes, les architectes et les chercheur·euse·s sont invité·e·s à contribuer à la réflexion en permanente évolution sur les relations entre l’art et l’environnement. Son texte relate également de la pratique de Pierre Thibault dont la démarche de conception place en interaction de façon constante l’être humain et le territoire à habiter.
