Summary:
In 1962 the young photographer René Burri, on the staff of the renowned photo agency MAGNUM, and known for his reportage and portraits, presented the architect, Le Corbusier, with a fold-out book, made with his own hands, containing photographs, dating back to 1953, that he had taken of the architect in various situations. The photographs it contains show Corbusier at the height of his creativity – in conversation, alone in his studio, at the construction site. They also convey the unmistakable atmosphere of his designs. This scrupulous facsimile reproduction comes with a text by René Burri and commentaries by the Corbusier connoisseur and editor Arthur Rüegg.

Summary:
Ce livre n'est pas une monographie d'architecte comme il en existe de nombreux exemples. Il propose une visite guidée subjective de l'œuvre construite de Paul Chemetov à travers 30 bâtiments choisis parce que singuliers, symptomatiques ou représentatifs de son travail. Le livre est conçu et réalisé par Thomas Jumin et Paul Chemetoff (petit-fils de l'architecte) à l'issue de leurs études de graphisme. Leurs choix, la distance générationnelle, culturelle, presque historique paraissent donner sa vérité à un exercice qui aurait pu sombrer dans l'hagiographie. Le parti pris de la conception offre un bel équilibre entre les images (230 visuels, pleines pages) et les textes signés par quelques-uns des compagnons de route de l'architecte ou des témoins privilégiés de son œuvre : François Chaslin, Alexandre Chemetoff, Christian Devillers, Jean Deroche, Philippe Robert, entre autres.

Summary:
This first monograph from Dutch architect and urban planner Kees Christiaanse and his firm, Kees Christiaanse Architects & Planners, or KCAP, follows the conception and realization of their most important designs. KCAP works at the interface between urban planning and architecture, combining the fields. Their broad range of projects includes large-scale urban and landscape planning, complex inner city regeneration and restructuring, and the same sorts of new building commissions that keep conventional architects in business. As Europe’s attention has shifted to the revival of urban areas, KCAP has done pioneering work at former dockland and industrial locations and on the waterfronts of major rivers, in projects where the firm often acts as supervisor, urban planner and architect at once. In the space of 15 years, KCAP has grown into an international office with an impressive built oeuvre that challenges the way architecture and urban planning are conceived. This survey and analysis of their work brings their ideas and experience to readers curious about urban revival both abroad and at home.

Summary:
Through a reading of the landscape and the topographical structure, Mathias Klotz implements his architectural programme with plastic sensitivity, confirming the importance of the construction and the materials. His reference models range from those of Mies van der Rohe and of those architects active in California after World War II. The Ponce house in Buenos Aires is one of the best expressions of his talent, which shows his skill as an architect who is coherent in his choice of materials, confident in employing them and overt in exhibiting them.

Summary:
The Ashmolean Museum in Oxford is the oldest museum in the country, however, behind a distinguished facade by CR Cockerell lies a confused accretion of buildings that neither does justice to Cockerell nor develops the full potential of the Museum. By 2008 the museum will have doubled its floor space with six new storeys of galleries, education and conservation centres, and a roof top restaurant. This is just the latest in a long line of distinguished projects that have seen Rick Mather Architects become one of the most influential and well respected firms in the world today. "Rick Mather architects" explores the full scope of the 500 projects that the office has undertaken over the past 33 years. Best known for their award winning museum extensions, such as the Dulwich Picture Gallery and the National Maritime Museum, and their major new expansion to the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts in Richmond, USA, which is currently on site and due to complete in 2008, their portfolio spans a broad spectrum of projects including residential and student housing, masterplans, of which the first phase of their masterplan for London’s South Bank is nearing completion, including both renovations and new buildings. Essays by architectural historian and former Dean of Architecture at Princeton, Robert Maxwell; architect and structural engineer Tim Macfarlane, renowned for his pioneering work in structural glass; and Patrick Bellew, distinguished for his commitment to ‘green’ engineering, form the backbone of this study. As a firm Rick Mather Architects bridges the space between the street and the interior, the old and the new, infusing their buildings with a distinct architectural identity. They are renowned for their intuitive sense of place and context, as well as their pioneering technologies in structural glass and sustainable design. Rick Mather Architects draws on Mather’s original plans and drawings and does full justice to the firm’s unique subtlety.
