Summary:
Designer, architecte, théoricien, professeur, auteur de nombreux ouvrages, Andrea Branzi a accompli une oeuvre considérable, tournée vers une expérimentation radicale du design, qui interroge la société post-industrielle des XXe et XXIe siècles. Membre du groupe Archizoom Associati de 1964 à 1974, il participe à la création du Studio Alchimia en 1977 avant de rejoindre le collectif Memphis en 1981. À travers dessins, objets de design, projets d'architecture, peintures ou encore installations, Branzi s'intéresse au rapport entre le design industriel et la notion de « nature », qui n'existe plus en tant que telle, mais devient une « seconde nature » artificielle. Pour Branzi, le design est avant tout émotionnel. Son oeuvre protéiforme questionne l'environnement domestique et les objets qui nous accompagnent : comment donner « un monde hospitalier » aux hommes, aux vivants ? Quel est le sens de notre appartenance au « règne des vivants » ?

Summary:
Following the 1968 earthquake in Sicily, plans were produced for the total reconstruction of the destroyed town of Gibellina, inspired by the models of the English New Towns. After an initial phase in which international architects and artists participated in the urban redesign, in the late 1970s a series of seminars and workshops was held at the University of Palermo to take stock of the reconstruction. Oswald Mathias Ungers (1926–2007) was then called to design the town’s central area, which was still undefined. His Civic Centre proposal reflected on the relationship between built and public space, and between city, monument, and history. Ultimately, however, little was realized.

Summary:
This book was created with the utmost effort, dedication, and profound rigour, providing as much information as possible so that every reader can evaluate the project with full knowledge of the facts. On our part, we aimed to raise all the questions that readers might wish to ask about the architectural project, and Kengo Kuma generously and patiently answered them all. The publication contains three remarkable interviews. The architect Kengo Kuma, the author of the project, in the text he wrote for the book and in his interview, reveals his respect for Portugal through unusually strong words. The interview is not an easy one but once again emphasises and reveals the tribute he paid to that country, the respect he holds for it, and his clear intention to build bridges of friendship between Portugal and Japan.

De la villa Savoye, à Poissy, à la Cité radieuse de Marseille, de son cabanon au bord de la Méditerranée à la ville de Chandigarh en Inde, en passant par des immeubles d’habitation, une chapelle et même un couvent, il a réalisé sa vie durant des bâtiments devenus des icônes du Mouvement moderne que les amateurs du monde entier viennent visiter. Cet architecte, parfois provocateur, a aussi consacré son temps au dessin, à la peinture et à l’écriture. Théoricien, il a publié une quarantaine de livres qui restent des références. « L’architecture est le jeu savant, correct et magnifique des volumes assemblés sous la lumière », écrivait celui qui a durablement marqué cette discipline.

Summary:
Between 2010 and 2020, Caruso St John expanded its reputation for sensitive and characterful architecture through a remarkable range of projects. Major buildings in the heart of Swiss, German, and Belgian cities explored the role urban landmarks can play in the present day, while smaller domestic projects provided the opportunity for experiments in restoration, materials, and colour. Transforming buildings for reuse – from beloved public institutions to longabandoned industrial sites – became a focal point for the practice as it sought to emphasise its work with the existing rather than contribute to the escalating production of new construction. Their designs for memorials, exhibitions, and museums further developed this engagement with memory and an aliveness to the past.
