Summary:
Le Corbusier's Pavilion for Zurich uses numerous handwritten documents, drawings, and papers to trace the history of Le Corbusier's last built work. This dwelling, which is also a museum, was initiated by Zurich gallery owner Heidi Weber. With its abstract forms and colors, it represents an intellectual legacy of the famous architect in which the further development of architecture as envisaged by Le Corbusier is clearly legible. From the first ideas and sketches from and beyond, the genesis of this exceptional building - the completion of which the architect did not live to see - is presented with illustrations and documents. This book explains the significance of the pavilion, which differs strongly from the beton brut of Le Corbusier's late work, in terms of its position as one of the architect's central and forward-looking works.

Summary:
D’importants chantiers qui s’achèvent, d’autres qui débutent, des projets en cours et en concours, des expositions, des publications attestent la belle vitalité du bureau fondé en 1990 par les architectes Ueli Brauen et Doris Wälchli. Dans leur quête pragmatique et inspirée d’un langage propre, ceux-ci dévoilent, de desseins en ouvrages, leur manière de penser et de faire l’architecture et se plaisent à faire entendre d’autres voix dans la leur. Ils aiment à dire, en effet, que la théorie transversale de leur travail, ce dont se nourrit le processus projectuel, c’est le dialogue élargi : dialogue entre les expériences et les compétences des différents intervenants du projet, dialogue entre les solutions possibles d’un problème, dialogue avec le site, le contexte... Les travaux présentés dans cet ouvrage sont emblématiques de leur production et de leur démarche créative entendue comme ouverture d’esprit, celle que requiert l’exercice raisonné de la profession d’architecte. Cet ouvrage illustré de photographies, plans et détails retraçant les quelque 20 années de réalisations et projets du bureau d’architecture Ueli Brauen + Doris Wälchli.

Summary:
Parcourir l'oeuvre de Le Corbusier, depuis ses premières villas à la Chaux-de-Fonds jusqu'aux bâtiments majeurs de l'après-guerre (l'Unité d'habitation de Marseille, le couvent de La Tourette), parcourir les différents types de programmes auxquels l'architecte a été confronté (habitation individuelle, logement social, bâtiment public civil ou religieux), et surtout parcourir chacun de ces bâtiments par une approche progressive à l'aide de plans-séquences photographiques, pour percevoir toute la richesse des espaces intérieurs et visualiser, tel l'usager, la qualité architecturale du lieu, mélange de géométrie et d'émotion, de matière et de lumière. Chaque projet est lui-même l'occasion de revisiter la pensée de Le Corbusier, à travers ses écrits, ses croquis et dessins préparatoires et de mettre ainsi en perspective l'édifice avec l'ensemble de la production passée ou à venir de l'architecte.

New catalogue from Aedes am Pfefferberg. The exhibition explores the conceptions, input, processes, as well as unpredictable deviations which result in the spaces of built work.

Price:

Summary:
The artist Michael Webb, trained as an architect, operates at the intersection of art and architecture and is widely known for creatively exploring the outer limits of drawing techniques, including orthographic and perspectival projection systems. He is a founding member of Archigram, which formed at the Architectural Association in London in the early 1960s. The legendary avant-garde group is known for their fantastical projects that were often interpreted as critiques of contemporary architectural theory and practice. "Two Journeys" is the first comprehensive monograph on Webb’s oeuvre and assembles sixty years of the artist’s work into a continuously evolving narrative about the multifaceted relationships among the built environment, landscape, and moving vehicles. He investigates these relationships through the act of drawing using notions of time, space, and speed, which are artfully mediated by the precision of mathematics and tempered by abstraction.

Summary:
A story of the ’70s: when six New York ex-gangsters met Buckminster Fuller and built a geodesic dome. In 1970 a meeting took place in an empty loft on the Lower East Side of Manhattan between R. Buckminster Fuller, the revolutionary architect and inventor of the geodesic dome, and six ex-gang members who called themselves “CHARAS.” After a few hours, they found themselves having an earnest and important conversation, and the young men of CHARAS decided to begin implementing Bucky’s ideas. This edition also includes a new interview with Michael Ben-Eli looking back on the project four decades later.
