A contextual modernism—one attentive to climate, topography, and the regional vernacular—a focus on restoration and reuse, and an expansion of international work came to the fore in a time of great social and economic change. In his introduction, Detlef Mertins traces the firm’s history in parallel with this restructuring, a growth in real estate development and financial markets that fundamentally changed how buildings were commissioned and built.

Un des enjeux de ce livre est de montrer le lien entre la ville et l'architecture. Le projet urbain devient alors un élément de réponse possible pour la reconquête et le renouvellement de la ville face à la crise de "l'objet architectural". La stratégie que développe Ignace Grifo consiste à faire un projet urbain avec les différentes strates de la qualité urbaine : espaces publics, mixité, densité, développement durable, commerces, liens... qui permettent de recomposer un tissu urbain, de redessiner un "morceau de ville".

A tracking shot on the works of an architect who knows how to play on the sensitivity of his audience. Emotional crisis, taut nerves and hence a predisposition to perceive in a much more complex way than normal.

Summary:
A tracking shot on the works of an architect who knows how to play on the sensitivity of his audience. Emotional crisis, taut nerves and hence a predisposition to perceive in a much more complex way than normal. These, Rota admits, are the emotions which he hopes to provoke in spectators who visit his projects. Installations that can emotionally shock people and raise their levels of sensitivity. To achieve this, he uses color made of light, transparencies, screens and projections (never material or painted color), an exceptional tool, and vital for conveying detailed messages in the best possible way, because of the processes it stimulates in the brain. Increasingly working in the sphere of magic rather than the sphere of the useful, Italian Italo Rota's flair for design- working abroad and communicating at an international level- is described in this unique publication. The book also considers the playful side of the projects he has undertaken, creating games for adults with just a touch of magic, fun and sophistication.

Summary:
Au début du XXe siècle, la bonne société de Chicago resta foudroyée par le soufre d'un scandale sans précédent. Pour l'amour éperdu d'un homme, une femme osa l'impensable et commit l'irréparable. Elle en paya le prix toute sa vie. Elle s'appelait Mamah Borthwick Cheney. Lui n'était autre que Frank Lloyd Wright, l'enfant génial et rebelle de l'architecture américaine à qui Mamah et son mari Edwin Cheney avaient demandé, en 1903, de construire leur nouvelle maison. En 1909, tombée entre-temps follement amoureuse du célèbre architecte, Mamah choqua une époque pudibonde et dévote en quittant son mari et ses deux jeunes enfants pour suivre Frank Lloyd Wright en Europe. Ce dernier, tout aussi épris, laissait derrière lui une Amérique stupéfaite, une épouse et six enfants... Enchaînés par la passion, mais hantés par une culpabilité intolérable, ils firent la une de la presse américaine durant leurs séjours en Allemagne, en Italie et à Paris, lors de la grande crue de 1910... Mais aucun journal à sensation n'aurait pu prévoir ce qui adviendrait à ce couple maudit de retour aux Etats-Unis, en 1914. La violence du dénouement verra ? au-delà du déchirement des familles Cheney et Wright ? le monde pétrifié. Pour la première fois nous est contée l'histoire de l'émancipation très en avance sur son temps de Mamah Borthwick, et de son amour pour l'un des plus grands maîtres de l'architecture moderne.
