Summary:
Catalogue published in conjunction with the exhibition ‘Work-Place’ produced for the Venice Architecture Biennale in 2010. Studio Mumbai is composed of a few architects and nearly a hundred craftsmen– carpenters, masons, plumbers, electricians, and stonecutters– all working full time. Their work is based on a constant dialogue: “In India, a country with a population of 1,2 billion, the majority of construction is carried out without architects, which does not prevent them from being human in the largest sense. This reflection also forms part of one of our work’s most critical aspect…” reveals Bijoy Jain, the founder of Studio Mumbai. The Studio is a human infrastructure of skilled craftsmen and architects who design and build the work directly.

Summary:
Norman Foster is a phenomenon - as an architect, but also as an individual. He is responsible for a dozen or more of the most recognizable buildings of the last 30 years.

Summary:
Ce premier volume de la correspondance croisée entre Le Corbusier et sa famille couvre la période 1900-1925. Le Corbusier n’hésite pas à soumettre ses hypothèses, réflexions et projets aux membres de sa famille et à leur faire partager ses aspirations, ses satisfactions ou ses déconvenues. Cette correspondance permet de mieux comprendre sa formation intellectuelle et artistique, ses cheminements professionnels, ses sentiments et émotions. Comme pour tant d’autres artistes majeurs de sa génération, vie publique et vie privée sont imbriquées, au point souvent de ne faire qu’un. En même temps qu’une carrière qui se construit, c’est une vision du monde qui se dessine.
