Indeed the in-between explored in this book is a more abstract and farreaching notion: physical, spatial and temporal. By retaining the Portuguese term in this new english edition, Entre signals Vazio S/as indebtedness to Brazilian culture and seeks to keep intact this original notion, for which there seems to be no satisfactory english translation.

Fragments of Wilderness City reviews the work of renowned architect Brian Avery. This publication presents perspectives from academics and architecture historians, exploring projects in India and the Middle East; major cultural commissions such as the National Film Theatre, the Museum of the Moving Image, London Transport Museum, and the Royal Academy of the Dramatic Arts' headquarters in Bloomsbury, London; masterplanning work for Oxford Street in London, The Horniman Museum, and the Avenue of the Emirates in Abu Dhabi. Alongside profiles of their innovative work in product design and within the workplace is an essay by director Bryan Avery, providing insights into his notion of the sustainable 'wilderness city'. This manifesto sets out a vision of an accountable architectural and planning approach to the contemporary city, situated in a natural landscape and taking on board references to both the walled cities of the medieval period and the self-contained urban environments of the twentieth century 'new towns'.

Summary:
Andrea Palladio’s Renaissance villa architecture is still admired for its elegance and harmony, but little is known about the person behind the buildings. Experienced Palladio researcher Guido Beltramini has worked meticulously on material from historical documents about Palladio’s person and life, and assembled a full picture of the architect. The Private Palladio follows his career, his rise from being the ordinary miller’s son Pietro della Gondola to become the architect Andrea Palladio. Beltramini does not just explore Palladio’s origins, his training as a stonemason, and his complex relationship with powerful clients and scholars, but also his private life: his jovial character, his life as a married man with five children, and not least his profound conviction that architecture can and must enrich life.

Si Beaudouin reste un architecte tourné vers la ville, Lods, homme d'action, s'attache aux possibilités constructives de répétition et de sérialisation offertes par les nouveaux matériaux tels que le verre et le métal. Ces deux personnalités de talents et d'ambitions divergentes ont collaboré pour créer une oeuvre variée et particulièrement novatrice : la Cité du Champ-des-Oiseaux à Bagneux, l'École de plein air à Suresnes, la Maison du Peuple à Clichy ou la Cité de la Muette à Drancy...
