Summary:
Published in 1923, Toward an Architecture had an immediate impact on architects throughout Europe and remains a foundational text for students and professionals. Le Corbusier urges readers to cease thinking of architecture as a matter of historical styles and instead open their eyes to the modern world. Simultaneously a historian, critic, and prophet, he provocatively juxtaposes views of classical Greece and Renaissance Rome with images of airplanes, cars, and ocean liners. Le Corbusier's slogans�such as "the house is a machine for living in"�and philosophy changed how his contemporaries saw the relationship between architecture, technology, and history. This edition includes a new translation of the original text, a scholarly introduction, and background notes that illuminate the text and illustrations. Jean-Louis Cohen is the Sheldon H. Solow Chair in the History of Architecture at New York University's Institute of Fine Arts. He has written extensively on Le Corbusier's work. John Goodman is a translator and art historian. He has rendered some thirty books from French into English.

Depuis les logements sociaux réalisés au lendemain de la Révolution du 25 Avril 1974 jusqu'à la Fondation Camargo au Brésil, inaugurée en 2008, chacun éclaire des points de recherche et de réflexion, à Lisbonne pour la réhabilitation du quartier du Chiado après l'incendie de 1988, à Montreuil avec le plan d'urbanisme du centre-ville, à Saint-Jacques-de-Compostelle pour un musée, le premier... Ce livre relate ainsi une rencontre au long cours, commencée il y a une trentaine d'années et jamais interrompue. Deux regards s'y croisent et s'y complètent, celui de Dominique Machabert, écrivain et journaliste, et celui de Laurent Beaudouin, architecte. Mais au-delà des réalisations, Siza évoque dans ces entretiens des personnalités qui lui sont chères et livre ses réflexions sur son pays, le Portugal - autant d'opportunités d'en savoir un peu plus sur la pensée profonde d'un grand architecte contemporain.

Un trait en diagonale tracé sur une page blanche, c'est une colline, peut-être une montagne, une montée, une descente, une chute ou une ascension. Comment savoir ? [...] Ainsi, les choses de l'architecture prennent une autre résonance, un sens communicable, une vérité transmissible. Elles rejoignent les choses de la vie. Car après tout, les architectes n'existent que pour permettre aux hommes de se comprendre entre eux et de faire leur osmose avec la nature. L'architecture se doit d'être un trait d'union et le temps des ghettos n'est plus, ou du moins ne doit plus être, au fond de nos esprits.»

Summary:
Westelaken's buildings are compositions in brick, wood, glass, and concrete, a spatial interplay between matter and light in which the principles of arrangement are comparable to those used by composers: rhythm, measure, timbre, dynamics. This book examines six of his buildings. Exhaustively photographed, the overview includes a number of plans and an interview with the architect.

Price:

Summary:
Museums have become the preeminent building type for the expression of new architectural ideas. Holl's expansion of the Nelson Atkins Museum of Art achieves a fusion of architecture with landscape that redefines the boundaries of the museum-going experience while creating one of the most unorthodox and breathtakingly beautiful examples of recent museum design. Holl's structure emerges from the landscape as five interconnected glass structures or "lenses," which both draw light into the building and serve to accentuate the museum's sculpture garden, providing both new spaces and angles of vision. Executed through close collaboration with museum curators and artists, the building achieves a dynamic and supportive relationship between art and architecture. Combining an in-depth critical assessment by the eminent architectural historian Jeffrey Kipnis, a generous selection of the architect's preliminary watercolor studies for the museum expansion, and breathtaking photography, this volume will be an essential reference for anyone concerned with the future of architecture and museum design.

Summary:
Werner Blaser, architect and author introduces the reader to the world of Tadao Ando's sunken architecture. In photographs, a method of construction is presented that has its roots in the traditional "earth dwellings" of northern and north-western China. Yet Tadao Ando's in-ground buildings are no dark, cave-like structures. The interiors are illuminated through open atriums and large, deep-drawn areas of glass, thus giving light an almost palpable form. In the face of increasing environmental damage and urban housing problems, architectural strategies have to be developed that respect nature and do not put extra pressure on urban surroundings. With his sunken structures, Tadao Ando succeeds in building in accordance with nature, at the same time connecting tradition and present - thus making the cultural history of building relevant for the present.

La Maison tropicale, qu'il conçoit lui-même quelques années plus tard, apparaîtra alors comme la parfaite incarnation de ce manifeste.

Summary:
This book is a timely portrait of the work of an architect who expanded the vocabulary of modern architecture. Eero Saarinen and Balthazar Korab constitute a unique team in the history of architecture: Saarinen, the mid-twentieth-century architect who challenged the architectural conventions of his time, and Korab, an architect in Saarinen's office whose perceptive photographs reveal the brilliance of Saarinen's work. This visual sourcebook illustrates nineteen Saarinen commissions in photographs drawn from Korab's archive, providing multiple views of the buildings themselves as well as views of their construction and of architectural models that were critical to their design. Images of Saarinen's office and home provide personal ambience, and an introductory essay positions Saarinen's work within the broader context of his time. Seen in detail, such earlier work as the General Motors Technical Center (1948-56) or the Miller house (1953-57) show departures from orthodox modernism. Saarinen's assured handling of new materials and new building functions impart lasting value to his work, as exemplified by the iconic Trans World Airlines Terminal (1956-62) and Dulles International Airport (1958-63).
