Summary:
In Process a pour ambition de rassembler dans une édition annuelle une sélection d’une trentaine de bâtiments, «prêts à être construits», dont la démarche conceptuelle et les détails démontrent un mode de fabrication particulier ou un parcours original. Fidèles à leurs engagements, les membres de la French Touch sont allés à la rencontre de chaque concepteur dans leurs lieux de travail afin de mieux rendre compte de la particularité des différents processus de fabrication, de la mémoire des projets et, d’une manière plus générale, de leur production. Pas d’images, pas de perspectives, juste des dessins à grandes échelles qui témoignent que l’architecture est aussi un savoir spécifique fait de pensée conceptuelle et de maîtrise constructive.

Summary:
The architecture of Paolo Portoghesi is careful to the diversity of sites, sensitive to the needs and desires of those who live with it, and always thick with references to tradition and the various fields of artistic expression and knowledge. This book shows how he has taken up the challenge posed by the question of how man and the city relate and how he has raised the ethical legacy of modern architecture by envisioning a future that can oppose the wave of consumerism and social competition. Portoghesi firmly believes in the new wave of Geo-architecture: an architecture that takes on the responsibility to help human society to forge a new alliance with nature.

Summary:
In 1949, the photographer Lucien Hervé (1910–2007) took a picture of an innovative apartment building in Marseille, France, and sent it to the building’s architect, Le Corbusier (1887–1965). Le Corbusier responded by asking Hervé to become his official photographer. This book recounts the collaboration between these Modernists. The author takes the reader on a tour of sixteen of Le Corbusier’s most iconic buildings using Hervé’s edited sheets of contact prints as visual guides. These sheets, which became an effective tool in the collaborative dissemination of Le Corbusier’s work, capture Hervé’s dynamic perspectives and dramatic use of light. His sequencing of the individual prints creates an exhilarating rhythm that showcases the architect’s novel forms and materials.

Summary:
Bien qu'il n'ait jamais été construit, pas même en maquette, et même à peine dessiné, l'Immeuble-villas, imaginé en 1922, tient un rôle central dans la stratégie développée dans les années 1920 par Le Corbusier pour accéder à la commande et à la reconnaissance. Avec ce projet, Le Corbusier met au point bien plus qu'un nouveau style de vie ou une technique de construction : il invente un mode de communication qui lui permet d'inscrire l'ensemble de ses projets dans le récit qui en organise la cohérence. Ce qu'il tait dans ses publications de ses difficultés pour concrétiser son projet avec des industriels montre à quel point son positionnement public - celui d'un architecte conscient des bouleversements techniques et économiques de son temps, qui entend entretenir avec l'industrie une collaboration étroite mais maîtrisée dans laquelle il reste maître du jeu et exerce en toute autonomie - est construit sur une aporie, non résolue, entre l'architecture comme oeuvre et la maison comme produit.

Summary:
The old saying used to warn that the map is not the territory. But the guerrilla architectartist-urbanists at Hong Kong-based MAP Office (Gutierrez + Portefaix) insist that the map (or the MAP)most definitely is the territory, and this exuberant book proves it. An incredibly complex, 360-page book, jam-packed with essays, interviews and over 500color illustrations, photos, drawings, collages and more, summarizes two decades in MAP Office’s evolution from architectural research to artistic intervention and cinematic theorization. It’s a work of genius from working geniuses, mixing politics, installation art, humor, science fiction, multi-cultural initiatives and just plain visionary thinking. The group has rejected everything about Modernist ideology, from the idea of the pristine space or the iconic shape to the quaint thought that form might follow function. Architecture has been let out of the bag, and it’s running wild.

Summary:
A tour through 12 of the most recent projects from architect Javier Sordo Madaleno, who is best known for designed large-scale projects such as convention centers, hospitals, hotels and commercial plazas that combine a monumental modernity with influences of Mexican vernacular. Sordo Madaleno's father, the mid-20th-century architect Juan Sordo Madaleno, collaborated with Barragan, Serrano and Legorreta, among others; the son's work pays homage to his father's legacy yet takes it into the new generation, as this finely designed and comprehensively illustrated book shows. Just a look at the church of San Josemaria Escriva in Mexico City, totally original yet echoing both Ronchamps and Teotihuacan, shows the creativity of Sordo Madeleno's work.
