Borromini a été très présent aux yeux des Suisses sur leurs billets de banque, mais que sait-on de cet architecte célèbre, né près de Lugano en 1599 ? À Rome, où il séjournait à l'Institut suisse, l'écrivain contemporain Etienne Barilier se prit de ferveur pour le maître du baroque dont la vie nous est restée inconnue, à part son suicide.

À Rome, où il séjournait à l'Institut suisse, l'écrivain contemporain Etienne Barilier se prit de ferveur pour le maître du baroque dont la vie nous est restée inconnue, à part son suicide. Du grand rival de Bernini demeurent les oeuvres. Il ne fut pas facile de percer les secrets de l'Oratoire des Philippins, de Saint-Charles-aux-Quatre-Fontaines, de Saint-Yves-de-la-Sapience... C'est par des visites assidues et des observations fascinantes qu'ont repris chair, en ces pages, de grandes figures du dix-septième siècle romain et le créateur d'une architecture éminemment personnelle. Il ne sera plus possible de fondre les travaux de Borromini dans "le baroque", car on perçoit ici une destinée d'artiste qui va seul. Il demeure sans âge par sa passion des matières et des ordonnances constructives, mais frappé d'un respect aigu, on dirait pascalien, du limité et de l'illimité. Dans les mandats les plus contraignants il révéla son génie.

Summary:
The work of Bart Prince is recognized internationally for both its seminal creative vision and for carrying on an American tradition of individualism in architecture originating with Louis Sullivan, Frank Lloyd Wright, and Bruce Goff. Prince shares with these pioneers a fundamental way of thinking about modern American architecture, which in his work he has combined with a firm belief in the experiential impact of a building to render a contemporary style all his own. Originally published a decade ago, this updated version includes five new houses, demonstrating the architect’s maturing style and continued commitment to creating transcendent experiences in manipulated space. Stunning photographs and floor plans bring the reader as close as possible to experiencing these uniquely formed, magnificent buildings. A remarkable collaboration between the author, the photographer, and the architect, The Architecture of Bart Prince is the only comprehensive introduction to one of the most creative architects practicing in America today.

He had far fewer commissions than his contemporary Frank Lloyd Wright, but with a few bold and innovative structures — the Glasgow School of Art and Hill House among them —he had a profound influence on art and architecture at the turn of the twentieth century. Like Wright, Mackintosh designed in totality, down to the furniture and fabrics used in his structures, and he was influenced by the Japanese, particularly in the simplicity of his designs and themes from nature. This publication contains both historic photographs and modern images of Mackintosh’s major works taken by architectural photographer Mark Fiennes.

Summary:
John Ronan is a leading figure of a new generation of architects that are not only steeped in the grounded, rigorous, and self-critical Chicago tradition, but are also focused on design innovation. Ronan's decade-old practice has garnered critical praise and awards in recognition of its subtle integration of sustainable technology, spatial composition, and material detail. His beautifully simple spaces convey a recurring theme of adaptability and flexibility across multiple functions that, when activated by a specific use, do not deter from a holistic architectural intent. This publication features twelve projects ranging in scale from private residences and adaptive renovations to large public buildings, as well as a foreword by Toshiko Mori,an essay by Chicago-based architect Brad Lynch, and a Q with John Ronan conducted by Robert McAnulty.
