Summary:
Arpentant les rues et les places son carnet à la main, parcourant la planète pour donner des conférences ou suivre ses chantiers, Le Corbusier a façonné son œuvre en réaction constante au monde environnant. À travers de nombreux documents intimes et rarement montrés dans leur continuité, Jean-Louis Cohen, spécialiste de ce personnage mi-secret, mi-tonitruant, voyage sur les traces du premier " expert volant " de l'architecture. Croquis de voyage, photographies de sa collection, lettres à ses amis, ouvrages personnels annotés et maquettes de projet nous livrent avec une intensité particulière un être d'émotion et de passion avec ses coups de génie, coups de tête, hésitations et contradictions. En écho à l'histoire et à la culture du XXe siècle, écrivains, artistes de tous les milieux et femmes de lettre sont aussi ici présents, témoignant pour la première fois de la sociabilité très intense de Le Corbusier.

Summary:
Since starting their practice in 1986, Iranian-born, American-educated sisters Gisue and Mojgan Hariri have earned widespread praise for their ambitious body of work. Their up-to-the-minute recasting of classical modernist principles has made them a source of continuing inspiration to design students and professionals alike. Over the course of recent years, the Hariris' portfolio has expanded from small-scale commissions to widely celebrated projects, including the much lauded "Digital House" and the first house to be completed at The Houses at Sagaponac, the ambitious Hamptons development. Among the projects featured in Hariri & Hariri: Houses—illustrated in plans, drawings, and splendid full-color photography—are a new house for the AQUA development in Miami Beach; spectacular urban renovations in New York City; and magnificent new houses across the country, as well as international projects, all of which demonstrate the ability of the Hariris to combine modernist rigor with what New Yorker architecture critic Paul Goldberger identified as an "understanding of the patterns of everyday life."

Summary:
Over the years Herman Hertzberger has made a great many theatre designs for sites both in the Netherlands and abroad. They are presented here together for the first time in book-form. In a long interview with Arthur Wortmann the architect explains what designing theatres means to him. Armed with many examples from his own work and the work of others, he describes how a theatre ought to slip into its urban surroundings, the considerations that obtain when designing the auditoria and the secret of a good foyer. Hertzberger explains that theatres in fact should blend into the city. He calls for polyvalency instead of flexibility and stresses the need to articulate space so that there is always plenty to see.

Rendant compte d'une recherche de l'auteur qui s'est poursuivi sur près de vingt ans autour de la question de l'habitation moderne, ce volume préfigure un second qui portera sur la dualité typiquement corbuséenne de la "machine à habiter" au regard de la "coquille d'escargot".

Summary:
Carol Bishop made a pilgrimage across the United States in search of a way to express her deep connection to the work of Frank Lloyd Wright. Her experience of Wright's architecture transcended a mere understanding of his design philosophy. In "Frank Lloyd Wright: The Romantic Spirit" Carol Bishop's paintings and photographs capture both the radiant energy and the ephemeral quality of Wright's architecture. Bishop's work also reveals how Wright's architecture inspires thoughts and feelings about the harmony between nature and humanity.
