Summary:
Shortly after finishing their studies, Samuel Bünzli and Simon Courvoisier used their talents to master architectural challenges, achieving independent solutions. The restructuring of a residential building, a school, a laboratory building, a project for hotel rooms and a large housing development were architectural milestones. The projects illustrate the precise approach the architects take to their work. The source of their inspiration is the keen analysis of existing constructions, their environment and the programme generated by the construction task. They use these sources to elicit solutions and – almost as a matter of course – always succeed in shaping a piece of city.

Summary:
Arthur Brown Jr. (1874-1957) is celebrated by his peers for such masterpieces as the City Hall, War Memorial Opera House, Temple Emanu-El, and Coit Tower in San Francisco; the Pasadena City Hall; and the Labor-ICC block of the Federal Triangle in Washington, DC. Brown epitomized the idea that architecture not only houses society’s daily rituals and defining events but also can itself shape the sociopolitical landscape of America. "Arthur Brown Jr.: progressive classicist" unifies the varied strands of the architect’s life, from the architectural forms and methods of the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris to the reforming spirit and self-reliant confidence of San Francisco after the earthquake and fire of 1906 to the challenging economics and changing aesthetics of machine-age America. It details the development of Brown’s major works and many other civic, commercial, religious, academic, and residential buildings. It chronicles his unflagging commitment to the classical tradition, which he employed in contemporary, forward-looking institutional buildings that emphasized continuity with the past while meeting the needs of the future. To Brown, the classical tradition was not a sacrosanct, unchanging body of knowledge; it was an expanding and evolving set of ideas about architectural design that permitted, and even demanded, change as new conditions and technologies were developed.

Summary:
L'ouvrage retrace le parcours de deux architectes habités par le théâtre. Dans le panorama de l'architecture contemporaine, Valentin Fabre et Jean Perrottet tiennent une place particulière, indissociable de leur passion. Depuis le début des années soixante, ils ont construit ou réhabilité plus de vingt théâtres. À partir de leur rencontre, au sein de l'Atelier d'urbanisme et d'architecture (AUA), avec René Allio, scénographe décorateur, ils participent à l'étude sur les maisons de la culture engagée à la demande d'André Malraux. Leurs créations reflètent alors les évolutions de la pratique théâtrale, dans une approche conceptuelle qui privilégie la fonctionnalité du lieu mise au de la création artistique, tout en optimisant les conditions d'accueil du public le plus large possible. Près de trois cents illustrations, plans, croquis, photographies, dévoilent leurs réalisations majeures : Théâtre de la Ville, théâtre des Gémeaux à Sceaux, théâtre national de Chaillot, MC 93-Boblgny, théâtre national de la Colline, théâtre d'Angoulême, Opéra de Rennes..., autant de précieux témoignages sur la vie scénique et dramaturgique en France depuis près de cinquante ans. Le théâtre contemporain se caractérise par le fait qu'il ne répond plus à une forme unique donnée. Le théâtre idéal n'existe pas. Les créations sont aussi multiples qu'originales et un lieu théâtral n'a de valeur que par les spectacles qui l'habitent. V. P, J.P. Préface de Jorge Lavelli.

Summary:
That the same adjectives can be used to describe Swiss architecture by those who admire it and those who don't -namely minimal, uncompromising and well constructed- is a strange and noteworthy consensus. Transcending such characteristics is the work of Burkhalter Sumi, for it has as much sensuality as sense, opulence as rigour, and an architectural ambition tempered(...)

Summary:
That the same adjectives can be used to describe Swiss architecture by those who admire it and those who don't -namely minimal, uncompromising and well constructed- is a strange and noteworthy consensus. Transcending such characteristics is the work of Burkhalter Sumi, for it has as much sensuality as sense, opulence as rigour, and an architectural ambition tempered refreshingly with modesty. Even though Burkhalter Sumi are now working on larger scale problems and projects than before, their way of thinking and working shows a remarkable consistency over the 21 years since the office's founding. Over years of obervations, mulling and simply following their personal tastes the architects had assembled a host of complicated and contradictory issues about timber architecture, such as tectonics, form and its perception, prefabrication, colour, ecology and hybrid structures. This issue of 2G magazine, devoted to Burkhalter Sumi, collects an illustrative selection of recent works by the Swiss team, including residential projects, urban planning, projects for the workplace and exhibitions.

Summary:
The Walker Art Center recently opened its expanded space, which includes a new theatre, a new restaurant, and more galleries, but is best known for being Herzog & de Meuron’s first public building in the United States. The project drew national coverage from media including 'The New York Times'. 'Expanding the Center' caters to and piques public interest in the building with a generous selection of images, including sketches, renderings, and photographs of the construction process and the completed work. Herzog & de Meuron’s shimmering but grounded design mirrors the textures and shades of the Walker’s original space, and an institutional philosophy based in innovation and risk-taking, the exploration of alternative approaches to learning, the experimental use of technologies to communicate information, and the design of spaces to enhance a variety of museum experiences. The book is organized around the decisions and actions of the architects, builders, Walker staff and the audience - i.e. designing, constructing, unveiling, staging, gathering, patterning, framing, collecting - and highlights the thinking that led to the visible form of the Center as well as the innovative projects and initiatives that give it its inimitable character.
