Drawing extensively on his archive and with over 300 images, the book follows Fuller’s explorations of geometry, language and intellectual property in their relation to design principles and pedagogy, organizing its survey of Fuller’s work through parallel conceptual threads rather than in a linear chronology of his career.

Summary:
En 1990, la ville de Vitrolles (Bouches-du-Rhône) décide de se doter d’un équipement public multifonctionnel accessible à tous et pour tous. C’est l’architecte Rudy Ricciotti qui dessine le Stadium de Vitrolles en apportant une réponse pertinente sur le plan économique, politique, programmatique, et culturel. Le bâtiment est inauguré le 24 novembre 1994. La structure en béton noir clairement apparente s’inscrit dans un archaïsme constructif. Le Stadium, chargé de tous les maux, subit en 1998 un contexte politique qui lui est défavorable et fatal. L’association de défense patrimoniale 'La Renaissance du Stadium' a obtenu pour le Stadium, le label 'Architecture Contemporaine Remarquable' en octobre 2018.

Summary:
Founded in 2009, Paris-based PARC Architectes has risen to prominence, winning awards and accolades in its native France and beyond. Just as important as its design work is PARC Architectes’s research on contemporary architecture and urbanism, laid out in the essay « Le Parc Planetaire » ("The Planetary Park"), published in the firm’s own journal, PRAGMA, and on its blog, CRAPZINE. This first book to focus on PARC Architectes, " Architecture as environment" features fifteen foundational designs by the firm, chosen to reflect the firm’s credo that the environment has to become a matter of architecture. At the interface of art and science, PARC Architectes’s designs are installations rather than mere structures, enabling adequate responses to contextual and conceptual issues in the construction of contemporary human environments. In addition to brief essays, the book also includes one hundred illustrations, including many in full colour.

Summary:
At the start of the 1980s, Michael Hopkins and Partners was a successful architecture firm in London, with a solid track record of design and building. By the end of the 1990s, they were far more impressive having established themselves as innovators at the highest level. That work is most evident in five urban buildings in England that they built in that period; those buildings are the focus of ''Hopkins in the city." In addition to close examinations of those buildings, including survey drawings and new photographs, the book offers building studies from five contemporary European architects and Michael Hopkins’s own perspective as presented in his lecture ''Technology Comes to Town.'' Essays by Adam Caruso and Helen Thomas, meanwhile, frame the British scene and revisit the fundamental issues of technology, style, and context that run through discussions of twentieth-century architecture.
