Summary:
This volume presents recent works by the Munich-based studio Tochtermann Wündrich. The idea of architecture that the two young architects offer in this book is all contained within the axonometries which, like icons, open each of the projects they have chosen. Icons that didn't exist before this book and that become symbols of an architecture that could be defined as icastic. An architecture that describes itself, its forms and its elements in its essential features, in an immediate, memorable and self-referential way. The introductory text is by Enrico Molteni.

Summary:
Architecture is not without the plastic play of light in the excavated space. On the basis of this simple and universal axiom, Dong Gong, founder of the Vector studio based in Beijing, has conducted a series of experiments since his debut in 2008, unscrupulously mixing languages of modernity with idiomatic expressions of a vernacular flavor, innovative materials and techniques. with craftsmanship and construction tradition. If contemporary is the one who establishes a "gap" with time, that is, they are able to operate in the present without being overwhelmed and subjected by it, Dong Gong, who in his architecture makes the past and the future interact, can define himself as an architect of contemporaneity.

Summary:
This volume presents some recent works by the Spanish architect Fran Silvestre whose works are made up of a limited number of gestures, lines and volumes, avoiding discontinuity and seeking harmony between the parts. An architecture animated by the idea of essentiality, his practice of drawing and construction of models imply a reflection on detail and the search for continuity of the entire architectural organism, in which the colour white allows greater control of space, unifies the forms and allows for a better understanding.

Summary:
Dans les années 1980, le Centre Georges Pompidou confia à Véra Cardot et Pierre Joly un ultime reportage avant que la famille Cavrois ne disperse le mobilier et ne vende son "château moderne". Suivirent 10 ans d’abandon et de vandalisme au cours desquels maints photographes et artistes se glissèrent derrière les palissades pour rapporter des clichés qui, pour être souvent d’une grande beauté plastique, n’en témoignent pas moins de l’extrême dégradation de la villa. En 2015, la villa enfin restaurée et restituée dans son état de 1932 fut sans doute la construction moderne la plus photographiée et la plus publiée de l’année. Aujourd’hui, cette monographie en images entraîne le lecteur à travers plus de 80 ans d’une aventure architecturale unique.

Summary:
In this richly illustrated book, French architect Dominique Perrault offers his thoughts on the architecture of the “Groundscape”, a subterranean form of architecture. Although the concept does not entail actually living underground, it does suggest an approach to revealing and marking places for the activities of daily life in the earth itself. Based on exchanges and interviews between Perrault and Frédéric Migayrou, the publication offers an engaging overview of the architect’s aesthetic vision, its acknowledgement of (and place within) this threshold between earth and sky, and his most emblematic buildings, including Bibliothèque Nationale de France and Ewha Womans University.
