Summary:
The mid-twentieth century was one of the most productive and inventive periods in Wright's career, producing such masterworks as the Guggenheim Museum, Price Tower, Fallingwater, the Usonian houses, and the Loveness House, as well as a vast array of innovative furniture and object design. With a variety of shapes and forms-ranging from honeycombs to spirals-this period is an important contribution to mid-century modernism. Mentoring such talents as Richard Neutra and Rudolph Schindler among others, Wright was one of the most influential proponents of the simplicity, democratic designs, and organic forms that characterize Mid-Century Modern. With lavish, new, previously unpublished color photographs and detailed plans, Frank Lloyd Wright: Mid-Century Modern is a comprehensive examination of an underserved period in Wright's career.

Summary:
Pugin was one of Britain’s greatest architects and his short career one of the most dramatic in architectural history. Born in 1812, the son of the soi-disant Comte de Pugin, at 15 Pugin was working for King George IV at Windsor Castle. By the time he was 21 he had been shipwrecked, bankrupted and widowed. Nineteen years later he died, insane and disillusioned, having changed the face and the mind of British architecture. God’s Architect is the first full modern biography of this extraordinary figure. It draws on thousands of unpublished letters and drawings to recreate his life and work as architect, propagandist and romantic artist as well as the turbulent story of his three marriages, the bitterness of his last years and his sudden death at 40. It is the debut of a remarkable historian and biographer.

Summary:
Faire du nouvel hôpital de Douai une féerie visuelle et l'occasion d'une belle accroche plastique pour le ragard. Marier à Palavas-les-Flots, en bord de Méditerranée, l'esthétique d'un centre de rééducation à celle d'un palais. Susciter l'envie d'une promenade au-dessus d'un canal lorrain en réaménageant le site où vient s'agencer l'hôpital de Nancy dédié aux soins de la personne. L'agence Brunet Saunier Architecture cultive le goût du don esthétique. Être architecte selon Jérôme Brunet et Éric Saunier, c'est avoir le double souci de la justesse, qui garantit le bon usage, et de la beauté fonctionnelle, qui transcende la fonction architecturale. Le «style» Brunet Saunier est à la fois évident et sophistiqué, indifférent aux modes et à la tentation du spectaculaire, jamais en manque de générosité. Paul Ardenne.

Summary:
Since TEN Arquitectos was first published in 1998, the firm founded by Enrique Norten has soared to a position of international renown. In addition to important competition-winning proposals--the Visual and Performing Arts Library in Brooklyn and the Guggenheim Guadalajara, among others--Norten and his firm have a rich variety of projects on the drawings boards: Harlem Park, a thirty-four-story mixed-use project in Upper Manhattan; a renovation of Mexico City's Chopo Museum, the gallery of the national university; the Busan Cinema Complex in Korea; the National Laboratory of Genomics for Biodiversity in Guanajuato; and hotels and residential buildings in New York, West Hollywood, and Prague. Conceived to represent the current state of the practice, Working shows twenty unbuilt and in-progress projects with an emphasis on the design process. Sketches give way to study models and then to polished renderings; at each stage in the development of a design, numerous iterations show various directions and investigations. The collection of projects is a timely record of the works by this notable firm.

Summary:
Every step in the production of washi depends on water. There is a natural process at work, born of the flow and weight of water, which has the power to purify our human contrivances. The techniques of washi making were discovered long ago by people who thought deeply about their relations to nature, and those techniques have been passed down ever since in an unbroken tradition. Whenever I think of that, even a single piece of washi seems precious.
