Summary:
Located at the center of the German furniture manufacturing industry, Marta, the latest European Museum by Frank O. Gehry, opened in December 2004 to universal acclaim. Conceived as a laboratory for redefining the relationship between art, design, and industry, this Gehry masterwork houses art galleries, a library, educational facilities, and conference and cultural meeting rooms. While the gallery is, for Gehry, an uncharacteristic neutral white cube, it is wrapped in a series of bulging curvatures creating a dome that announces his distinctive architectural signature. This book, which contains previously unpublished material on the design and construction of the museum, offers insight into the working process of arguably the world's most famous architect, and his ideas about the shifting boundaries between industry, design, art, and architecture.

Summary:
The curtain wall—a non-bearing wall attached to a building's structural frame like a curtain made of metal or, more likely glass—is an omnipresent feature of contemporary architecture. Variations of pattern and color, transparency and opacity offer the architect almost limitless design possibilities, a tremendous palette for "skinning" the structural frame of buildings(...)

Summary:
Architecte visionnaire, grand constructeur urbaniste et dessinateur, philosophe et poète de la théorie architecturale, Claude Nicolas Ledoux domine la scène artistique française de la fin du XVIIIe siècle. Après son extraordinaire réalisation de la Saline royale d'Arc-et-Senans dans le Doubs, il est chargé de la construction des palais de justice et prisons d'Aix-en-Provence, à partir de 1776. Après plusieurs projets d'urbanisme, le chantier connaîtra de multiples contretemps et sera finalement suspendu par la Révolution française. Vingt années plus tard, c'est à l'architecte du département Michel Robert Penchaud que reviendra la tâche délicate de " poursuivre " la construction des deux édifices, sur la base des fondations de Ledoux. Plus récemment encore un concours d'architecture sera lancé pour l'extension de la Cour d'Appel dans l'enceinte de la prison, conservée au nom de cet héritage symbolique. De l'architecture des Lumières à la typologie judiciaire contemporaine, en passant par l'historicisme fonctionnaliste du XIXe siècle Sur les traces de Ledoux raconte avec la saveur d'un roman historique l'entrelacement, durant deux siècles, des luttes d'influences et des enjeux symboliques qui accompagnent l'élaboration de toute architecture porteuse de sens et de pouvoir.

Summary:
Architecte, théoricien, urbaniste et écrivain, Jozsef Vago travaille à Budapest (1900-1919, 1926-1940), à Rome (1919-1926) et à Genève (1927-1935), avant de s'établir en France (1940-1947). Jeune diplômé, il s'engage dans la Sécession hongroise fondée par Odon Lechner et s'attache, comme de nombreux architectes de sa génération, à élaborer un nouveau langage architectural national qui valorise la culture populaire. Jozsef Vago est aujourd'hui considéré comme l'une des figures de proue du renouveau architectural hongrois. Ses réalisations à Budapest entre 1903 et 1914, fleurons d'architecture " nationale " imprégnés de modernisme viennois, témoignent de son ouverture vers l'Occident et de son attention à la question sociale. Membre du Werkbund, engagé pendant la période révolutionnaire de 1918-1919, il est contraint d'émigrer en Italie lors de l'arrivée au pouvoir de l'amiral Horthy. Installé à Rome entre 1920 et 1926, il tente en vain de s'intégrer à la profession : il élabore des nouvelles typologies d'habitat social pour les cités-jardins romaines, publie de nombreux projets sous le nom de " Giuseppe Vago ", mais ne parvient à obtenir qu'une seule commande à Rome. Sans ressources, confronté à la xénophobie et au fascisme, il se réinstalle à Budapest, où il se voit empêché d'exercer par l'Ordre des architectes hongrois, créé en 1926. Sa victoire au concours du palais de la Société des Nations à Genève en 1927 inaugure une nouvelle phase de sa carrière. Ses démêlés avec ses associés - Henri-Paul Nénot, Jules Flegenheimer, Camille Lefèvre et Carlo Broggi - et avec Le Corbusier au cours de la réalisation du projet l'incitent, dans les années trente et quarante, à prendre part au débat architectural européen, à entamer une importante œuvre de critique et à élaborer une véritable philosophie de l'architecture et de l'urbanisme. Combattant les positions de l'avant-garde architecturale - et notamment de Le Corbusier -, il tente d'établir une synthèse entre les idéaux de l'Art nouveau et du modernisme, estimant que l'architecte doit s'efforcer de répondre aux aspirations sociales et économiques du Mouvement moderne sans pour autant renoncer au " superflu ", c'est-à-dire à la qualité artistique et à l'ornementation. Cette recherche, qui apparaît dans son ouvrage théorique À travers les villes (1930) et dans son projet d'urbanisation de Budapest (1933-1937), trouve son aboutissement dans son projet théorique de reconstruction opposé aux préceptes des CIAM et de la Charte d'Athènes : la Ville de l'Avenir (1940-1945)
