Summary:
Au début des années soixante, des revues internationales d’art et d’architecture consacraient plusieurs articles aux travaux du jeune architecte André Jacqmain. Sous le titre "Une maison pour des tableaux", L’Œil d’avril 1962 présentait la maison du couple de collectionneurs d’art moderne Bertie et Gigi Urvater. Demeure baroque conçue comme un parcours labyrinthique qui égrenait sur ses murs les Magritte, Ernst, Klee, Matta, Bacon, Riopelle… "Une maison", écrit l’auteur du texte, "qui ne ressemble à aucune autre", mettant ainsi le doigt sur ce qui caractérise l’originalité de Jacqmain. Toujours produire, au risque de ne pas faire école, des œuvres différentes nées de son imaginaire de latin du Nord et souvent soulignées par un tréfonds stylistique : réminiscences des élancements gothiques, des pagodes chinoises, de l’art déco... Après des études à l’Académie des beaux-arts de Bruxelles pendant les années de guerre, on le retrouve en 1950 aux Ateliers du Marais où il côtoie Pierre Alechinsky et Christian Dotremont. À 46 ans, en 1967, il fonde l’Atelier d’architecture de Genval, s’entoure d’une équipe, une pépinière d’idées qui fouettent l’imagination, qui lui permet d’aborder la grande échelle. Ce solitaire qui n’aime pas la solitude a toujours su s’entourer d’amis fidèles et d’artistes comme le créateur de meubles Jules Wabbes, les frères Strebelle, les photographes Gilles Ehrmann et Fabien de Cugnac, l’architecte Nicole Beeckmans qui l’a assisté dans la réalisation de ce livre où il retrace à travers des dessins son parcours, de sa naissance à aujourd’hui.

They begin with an initial concept, not a definitive answer, open to modification during the construction process. The creation of various and distinctive spaces corresponding to situations and demands that crystallize on location, rather than the realisation of a preconceived homogeneous design. This volume, the first in a new series on young architects from Suisse Romande edited by Bruno Marchand, Professor at the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, presents built projects by Galletti & Matter, including the School Building Collombey and the Espace Gruyère exhibition and cultural centre in Bulle.

Price:

(available to order)
Summary:
The architecture firm Bohlin Cywinski Jackson believes that "the sensuality of place, the emotive qualities of materials, and the ability to give pleasure and insight, to comfort and to transport can produce humane and spirited architecture." Whether designing corporate headquarters for Pixar Animation Studios, the Software Engineering Institute for Carnegie Mellon University, the new Apple Stores in New York, Chicago, and Tokyo, or the twelve wooded retreats shown in this book, the firm’s architecture is alive to the subtleties of place, man-made or natural, and to the rich possibilities of materials and the means of construction. The houses in "Arcadian Architecture" are exquisitely crafted of wood and stone and other natural materials, and are all sited within beautiful wooded, mountainous, or lakeside locales, from New York State to Washington State, and from the woods of Connecticut to the mountains of Montana. One of the highlights of this book is that it publishes, for the first time, the extraordinary, huge, extremely private and secluded, residential complex in Washington State that was built for Bill and Melinda Gates. Each house is presented on at least thirty pages, and is depicted by sumptuous new colour photography, richly detailed conceptual sketches, presentation drawings, and construction documents.

Summary:
The main thrust of this book is the philosophy and methodology of Van Sambeek & Van Veen Architecten. The offices projects are presented according to seven themes, which all relate to organizational forms that are important to the work of Erna van Sambeek and René van Veen: neutrality, exclusivity, family, seriality, position, interiority and time. For each design, the architects ask how the essence of the task can be reduced to a combination of two or more of these themes. Each project therefore appears at least twice in the book, but with text and image tailored specifically to the theme of a particular chapter. The design philosophy of Van Sambeek & Van Veen architecten demonstrates the richness that architecture can gain from a consistent concentration on the essentials and a clear separation of primary and secondary aspects, and the broader implications of this. Typography design by Rudo Hartman.
