Summary:
Dutch photographer Erik van der Weijde uses a simple book of full-page, black-and-white photographs without text to present architect Oscar Niemeyer’s monumental work in the modernist city of Brasília. These images of the so-called utopian city are stark and carefully devoid of people. In this way, Van der Weijde chooses for a clear focus on the structures and urban spaces, lending the series an architectural purity and imparting some of the grand scale of the city, perhaps even agreeing with the critics who have referred to it as dehumanising and full of elegant monotony.

Summary:
The idea of "Total Architecture", as described by Ove Arup in his vision of design, continues to serve as the maxim for the globally operating engineering firm ARUP and its Building Engineering Department.

The focus is placed on the different processes that have accompanied the presented construction projects. Connections are shown between the individual buildings whose synergies are pursued in an exemplary fashion. The remarkable building projects reveal what continues to drive and inspire the engineers at ARUP to this day: a passion for pioneering work.

Summary:
La famille Gabriel fut une véritable dynastie d’architectes, animée par un génie collectif. Ange-Jacques Gabriel (1698-1782), le plus célèbre d’entre eux, travailla principalement pour Louis XV et en étroite collaboration avec lui. Il est notamment l’auteur de la place de la Concorde, de l’École militaire, du Petit Trianon, des châteaux de Compiègne et de Fontainebleau ainsi que des décors intérieurs du château de Versailles. Il créa successivement le décor versaillais des années 1730-1760, puis après 1760 un style plus sobre inspiré de l’antique dit style Louis XVI. L’éclectisme du XIXe siècle réhabilitera son talent et sa manière que les pré-révolutionnaires jugeaient surannée. Dans cet ouvrage largement illustré, l’auteur retrace la prolifique carrière de Gabriel, décrit ses principales réalisations et replace son oeuvre dans la dynastie familiale.
