Summary:
C’est en écoutant Gil Honoré pester contre les impositions qui freinent l’émergence d’une architecture libre, et en découvrant les réponses astucieuses qu’il y apporte, que Carmelo Virone a trouvé le point de départ de son récit. « La cérémonie des prescrits », conte philosophique, se savoure seul ou en singulière résonance avec les édifices présentés dans cet ouvrage. L’ingénieur architecte Gil Honoré, fondateur du bureau AIUD, pose des choix clairs. Il sculpte des bâtiments aux contours simples, efficaces, jouant sur le contraste des matières et des émotions. Carmelo Virone, écrivain, critique littéraire et critique d’art, plume acérée et esprit vif, s’amuse à jeter des ponts entre les arts et entre les artistes. Entre ces deux imaginations fertiles, connectées par le projet Architexto, se trament des fils conducteurs, une énergie commune : la lisibilité des productions, le refus des fioritures, l’inscription dans un patrimoine ancien pris comme matière à idées nouvelles, et la capacité, finalement, à s’affranchir des contraintes.

The Stretto House in Dallas derives its name from a music piece by Bartok using the ‘stretto’ method in which Holl attempted to architecturize the analogy between the sound-time relationship in this music and the light-space relationship in this house. The “Y” House was built in the Catskills Mountains in the state of New York on a remote hilly terrain as a weekend retreat. Both houses demonstrate the strategy and manipulation that grow out of Holl’s architectural thinking.

Summary:
An in-depth presentation of an important contribution to New York residential architecture. Considered one of the most important architects of his generation, David Adjaye is lauded for high-profile buildings such as the Nobel Peace Center in Oslo, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Denver, and the recent competition-winning design for the Smithsonian Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington, D.C. Designed and built over five years for the contemporary art collector Adam Lindemann, 77E77 was conceived as a sophisticated response to the specific site and the culturally rich neighborhood. The result is a spatially complex series of interlocking spaces, providing suitable rooms for both the challenging art collection it houses and a young and growing family. With 77E77 Adjaye has made a fresh and successful contribution to the history of the modern home in New York: a house for our new generation.
