Summary:
William Pereira helped define emerging social values: he designed every building type imaginable, from houses to hospitals, as well as inventing some of his own, such as the Television Studios for CBS in Los Angeles, which were the first of their kind. For the expansion of Los Angeles International Airport Pereira convinced authorities to adapt the facility to jet planes before jet travel was commonplace. This monograph captures Pereira’s talent and influence, featuring in-depth, behind-the-scenes views of his most well known projectcs, including the CBS, USC Masterplan, the University of California (Irvine) campus, the Doha Masterplan, the Transamerica Tower in San Francisco, and the LA Airport.

Summary:
Alexander Brodsky and Ilya Utkin are the best known of a loosely organized group of Soviet artists known as "Paper architects," who designed much but built little in the early days of Glasnost, in the late 1980s. Many of their elaborate etchings, in which they depicted outlandish, often impossible, structures and cityscapes of allegorical content, were collected in the 1990 book Brodsky – Utkin. Now, with the addition of forty-three new and never-before-published prints,this book is an updated edition. In their designs, by turns funny, cerebral, and deeply human, Brodsky – Utkin borrow from Egyptian tombs, Ledoux's visionary architecture, Le Corbusier's urban master plans, and other historical precedents, collaging these heterogeneous forms in learned and layered scrambles. Underlying the wit and visual inventiveness is an unmistakable moral: that the dehumanizing architecture of the sort seen in Russian cities in the 1980s and 1990s, and elsewhere around the globe, takes a sinister toll. A new preface assesses the works of Brodsky – Utkin and reminds that the greatest art is often born of adversity. Beautifully printed in 300-screen dry-trap duotones by the Steinhauer Press, Brodsky – Utkin is a book for artists, architects, and collectors alike.

Summary:
Depuis bientôt trente ans, Bernard Reichen et Philippe Robert ont nourri une réflexion sur la nature et les finalités d'une pratique architecturale contemporaine prenant en compte l'échelle du temps et la dimension d'un contexte donné. Cette approche fondée sur un continuum historique et géographique constitue le fil conducteur de leur pratique. Les projets présentés dans ce livre illustrent, outre le développement de l'agence à l'étranger, la diversification et l'élargissement des problématiques abordées. Ils montrent la validité d'une réflexion susceptible de s'adapter à l'échelle de l'aménagement urbain et de prendre en compte les aspirations nouvelles de la société. Le droit à la mobilité, la présence de la nature dans la ville, le développement durable sont autant de défis à relever par le biais de projets intégrant dans une démarche unique la stratégie urbaine, la conception de l'espace public et l'architecture.

In the 1920s, the press described Arne Jacobsen as the "leading representative" of functionalism and as "the Danish Corbusier". Ethereal elegance was Jacobsen's hallmark throughout his career; for example his staircases, whose light construction and suspension seem to defy gravity. All Jacobsen's significant works are described in this book. Among the works studied are Stelling's house, the town halls, the SAS Hotel and the Danish Central Bank. Jacobsen worked as an architect and designer for almost 50 years. During this period, his professional range embraced, among other things furniture, textiles, wallpaper, lamps, porcelain, hollowware, and steel.
