The internationalization of their architectural and business concepts, exporting on a high level Spanish architecture in general, and demonstrating how, Catalonian architecture in particular, is opening a bright path ahead for projects of great repercussion and social significance.

Summary:
Alessandro Mendini (Milan, 1931) is one of the few protagonists of the international scene of architecture, art and design who designed in every possible size. Walter Gropius’s renowned statement identifies the architect’s field “from spoon to city”: during his career Mendini faced projects “from the infinitesimal to the infinite”. The book dedicated to Alessandro Mendini published by Corraini is a non-stop stream of images and occasions among the renowned Milanese architect’s works and philosophy. Designing horizons, rooms, bodies and thoughts are the four moments of a personal and evocative course through Mendini’s works: from urban landscape to interior furnishing, to body accessories, to his activity as architecture and design theorist, Mendini is a protagonist of a personal and aesthetic approach to the project. His design is famous for its emotional and individual character, as well as for the greater importance given to psychological and sensory influences rather than rational contents. In fact, his projects have often been associated with definitions such as “visual poetry”, “fairy and baroque design”, and “labyrinth expansion of spaces and sensations”.

Summary:
This slim “edition architese” volume (the fourth in the series) offers unprecedented access to one of the world’s preeminent architects: Valerio Olgiati, the award-winning Swiss designer and professor at the architecture academy in Mendriso. In an engrossing interview, Olgiati discusses the social responsibility of the architect, the difference between earlier and modern generations of architects, the influence of post-modernity, and the difficulties that confront an architect as a design is built. Accented with details from some of his most notable works, the book provides a definitive overview of Olgiati’s approach to the “organic unity” of his “unrelentingly precise” architectural style. Architectural historian Markus Breitschmid adds a perceptive essay.

Summary:
Graeme Mann et Patricia Capua Mann font partie des architectes qui partagent un même intérêt pour l'enseignement et la pratique, deux activités qui se nourrissent mutuellement. Ils ont ainsi enseigné, dans le cadre de l'EPFL, dans les ateliers de Mangeat, Chipperfield, Fretton, Campo Baeza, Zanghelis et ont été nommés professeurs invités en 2006-2007. Dans l'architecture de Mann Et Capua Mann, malgré le fait que chaque projet a sa propre spécificité et répond à un contexte précis, on peut relever une sorte de recherche continue et progressive autour des mêmes thèmes : l'emploi de la géométrie orthogonale, la simplicité des formes, une mise en œuvre sensible des matériaux et enfin une grande attention apportée au contexte.
