Summary:
The most complete monograph dedicated to the work of Michael Maltzan and his Los Angeles-based architecture practice, this book presents 16 of Maltzan’s most recent projects with full-color photographs, drawings, and plans. Maltzan is an architect who deals with the realities of urban landscape through the manipulation of ground, circulation, and perception. Among his best-known projects is MoMA QNS, Maltzan’s reworking of a former factory into a temporary accommodation for the Museum of Modern Art, which opened in Queens, New York, in June 2002. Projects currently in design or under construction include several innovative residences in California, the Fresno Metropolitan Museum, and Kidspace Children’s Museum, Pasadena, which was selected for the 2002 Venice Biennale International Exhibition of Architecture. Edited by Raymund Ryan with essays by Ai Weiwei and Mirko Zardini and a foreword by Richard Armstrong.

Summary:
One of Austria’s most influential architects, Otto Wagner (1841-1918) played a key role in modernizing urban architecture. Forming an approach described as structural rationalism, Wagner pioneered use of materials such as glass, steel, and especially aluminium. He was associated with the Viennese Succession, a group of artists and designers headed by Gustav Klimt that initiated a departure from the conservative style of the Viennese Künstlerhaus. Among Wagner’s most important buildings are the Vienna Postsparkassenamt (Postal Savings building) and the Steinhof Church. Part of Taschen's Basic Architecture series. Each title in the series contains approximately 120 images, including photographs, sketches, drawings, and floor plans. Introductory essays explore the architect’s life and work, touching on family and background as well as collaborations with other architects. The body presents the most important works in chronological order, with descriptions of client and/or architect wishes, construction problems (why some projects were never executed), and resolutions. The appendix includes a list of complete or selected works, biography, bibliography and a map indicating the locations of the architect’s most famous buildings.

Près de soixante ans après sa disparition, l'oeuvre de Robert Mallet-Stevens (1886-1945) nous permet de redécouvrir un architecte moderne, un théoricien sans dogme, à des lieues de l'image commune du dandy parisien qu'on lui attribue.

Près de soixante ans après sa disparition, l'oeuvre de Robert Mallet-Stevens (1886-1945) nous permet de redécouvrir un architecte moderne, un théoricien sans dogme, à des lieues de l'image commune du dandy parisien qu'on lui attribue. Durant sa courte carrière - une vingtaine d'années et autant d'édiffices bâtis entre les deux guerres - Mallet-Stevens s'est opposé à l'académisme des Beaux-arts tout en gardant, par ailleurs, ses distances avec la «machine à habiter» chère à Le Corbusier. Treize passionnées, venus de tous horizons - architectes, designers, journalistes ou historiens - se sont réunis pour croiser leurs points de vue et témoigner sur celui qu'ils considèrent comme un moderne «à visage humain».

Cette monographie présente l'ensemble des projets réalisés ou conçus par Philippe Rahm (1967) et Jean-Gilles Décosterd (1963) ces dernières années autour du thème de la "distortion". Leur démarche consiste à s'emparer du temps et de l'espace comme d'un matériau pour l'architecture, à explorer le spectre du vide, la densité des corps. Villes hormonales, jardins physiologiques, chambres de mélatonine, environnements de haute altitude, peinture Placebo, l'architecture devient ici un champ énergétique traversé de failles temporelles et de brèches géographiques.

Summary:
On doit à Alain Sarfati, depuis 1972, de nombreux projets et réalisations ; en 2004 lui a été confiée la construction de la future ambassade de France à Pékin. Il est l'un des rares architectes à avoir fait de ses réflexions sur la ville le support d'un travail sur le logement (qu'il soit individuel ou collectif), ainsi que le fondement d'une architecture publique raisonnée. Pour cet architecte, la démarche commence par une attention à l'usage. Démagogie ? Assurément non. Si Sarfati entend rendre possible pour qui l'occupe l'appropriation du bâti, et redonner tout son sens au verbe habiter, l'architecture qu'il promeut ne se départit jamais d'une intention esthétique que redouble une mise en valeur symbolique. Le bâtiment tel que l'envisage Alain Sarfati n'est jamais neutre ni autonome.

Summary:
This publication is one of several studies for the "Absent Architecture of the 20th century" exhibition. This collection tries to elucidate a wide-ranging collection of architecture that coincide in the fact that it no longer exists in a strict physical sense, either because it was never actually built, because it was demolished, or because over time its raison d'être has been profoundly changed. Although they belong to the 20th century, they are all still regarded by today's 21st century architecture as absolute unconcluded beacons of suggestion and reason.
