Summary:
Archigram, the magazine published irregularly between 1961 and 1970, and the name of the group that created it, is among the most significant phenomena to emerge in post-war architectural culture. The wired environments first advertised in the magazine's pages formulated an architectural vocabulary of metamorphosis and obsolescence. This vocabulary cross-pollinated industrial and digital technology at the same time as complex systems were becoming commercially available and more widely used.

Aucun autre architecte de l'histoire de l'art occidental n'a provoqué de suites aussi spontanées que persistantes au cours des siècles qu'Andrea Palladio. Le dit palladiennisme fait sauter toutes les frontières des formes particulières du paysage artistique.

Summary:
Aucun autre architecte de l'histoire de l'art occidental n'a provoqué de suites aussi spontanées que persistantes au cours des siècles qu'Andrea Palladio. Le dit palladiennisme fait sauter toutes les frontières des formes particulières du paysage artistique. Il ne s'étend pas seulement aux pays romans, mais saisit de la même façon l'Allemagne, les Pays-Bas, la Scandinavie, les pays d'Europe de l'est, et fonde une des racines les plus importantes de l'architecture anglaise des XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles. Et bien que Palladio se soit concentré sur la «pure» architecture pendant toute son oeuvre, les formes qu'il a créées ont marqué d'autres domaines de leur empreinte, notamment celui des meubles d'art anglais du XIXe siècle.

Summary:
Le Corbusier (1887-1965) was born Charles-Edouard Jeanneret in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland. The self-named Le Corbusier was not only the creator of some of the most important and impressive buildings of the last century--Villa Savoye at Poissy, the Chapel of Notre-Dame-du-Haut at Ronchamp, the capitol complex in Chandigarh, India--he was also an accomplished painter, sculptor, furniture designer, urbanist, and author. His work and social theories continue to be a dominant force in the world of architecture and design, while his elegant bearing, bow tie, and round black eyeglasses are still today a signature look for architects around the world. Le Corbusier Le Grand’s oversized format and luxurious binding reflect the legendary status of this “giant” of twentieth-century architecture and design. The book includes an insightful introductory essay by France’s most authoritative architectural historian and critic, Jean-Louis Cohen, and incisive chapter introductions by highly regarded Le Corbusier scholar Tim Benton. A separate booklet includes translations of documents, many of which have never been translated into English before.

En architecture comme en littérature, le tout vaut plus que la somme des parties. Bâtir une maison, pour Sibrine Durnez et François-Xavier Martiat, ce n'est pas seulement concevoir un plan ingénieux, choisir des matériaux appropriés. C'est inventer un lieu de vie, et donc se mettre à l'écoute de ses futurs occupants, imaginer des volumes accueillants, marqués par une grande clarté de ligne. Pour écrire la Porte à côté, Frédéric Saenen s'est fait architecte à son tour, en construisant un puzzle d'événements, de relations, de coïncidences et de regards, dont le sens ne se dévoile que très progressivement.

Summary:
Bernard Tschumi is a border crosser in the field of contemporary architecture. Equally present in Europe and the United States, he laid the cornerstone for his influential body of work two decades ago with a project that combines architecture and landscape architecture, theory and practice: the Parc de la Villette in Paris. Dean of the Columbia Graduate School of Architecture in New York for many years and the author of numerous books on architectural theory, Tschumi possesses a body of work that is presented here in overview for the first time. His current projects include a high-rise apartment building in New York, the Zénith Concert Hall in Limoges, and the new Acropolis Museum in Athens. Gilles de Bure, the author of numerous architectural publications on Jean Nouvel, Dominique Perrault, Christian de Portzamparc, and others, presents an in-depth analysis of Tschumi’s work.
