Summary:
Wilkinson perceives the landscape of Singapore for the lush fertile rainforest that it is: a vast Henri Rousseau painting in which he can build. In his houses, the boundaries between inside and outside are blurred, a reciprocal relationship with the landscape is established, and a tropical ideal has been created. The architecture is always expressive and each of Wilkinson’s houses is defined by a set of formal gestures that are both playful and practical: a tactile indulgence is always underpinned by a commitment to sustainability and respect for the environment. Landscaping, planting and the use of water are crucial to these houses, which draw upon the whimsy and decorative detailing of Arts and Crafts architecture, and the spatial freedom of such architects as Schindler and Wright. This monograph feature twenty-one of Wilkinson’s houses, built over the last decade. Each project is illustrated by colour photography, and is documented with formal drawings, concept sketches and project descriptions. An introductory essay examines the architecture in the context of 21st century Singapore, and documents Wilkinson’s background, influences and design philosophy.

Summary:
Lafayette Park, an affordable middle-class residential area in downtown Detroit, is home to the largest collection of buildings designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe in the world. Today, it is one of Detroit’s most racially integrated and economically stable neighborhoods, although it is surrounded by evidence of a city in financial distress. Through interviews with and essays by residents; reproductions of archival material; and new photographs by Karin Jobst, Vasco Roma, and Corine Vermeulen, and previously unpublished photographs by documentary filmmaker Janine Debanné, Thanks for the View, Mr. Mies examines the way that Lafayette Park residents confront and interact with this unique modernist environment. While there are many publications about abandoned buildings in Detroit and about the city’s prosperous past, this book is about a remarkable part of the city as it exists today, in the twenty-first century.

Depuis 2004, L'Atelier d'Architecture intègre la maison d'édition qui met en œuvre ce projet éditorial. La construction d’une agence de banque à Bouge dont il est question dans ce livre s’est terminée en juin 2009. Elle a généré une somme de documents, d’artefacts, de liens immatériels. La forme du livre fait référence à ce processus, qui donne à voir un état de production suspendu, en recherche ; la chaîne de fabrication du livre est arrêtée à deux étapes de sa finalisation donnant à voir le processus même de sa matérialisation. L’ouvrage est constitué de 226 pages dont trente-deux en quadrichromie, certaines à découper, certaines enfermant des impressions masquées, le tout reprenant le contenu à rebours de la recherche architecturale et spatiale.
