Summary:
Barozzi Veiga Arquitectos are a Barcelona-based firm that was established by Fabrizio Barozzi and Alberto Veiga in 2004. In their first decade, they have built—and won awards for—major projects in Spain, Poland, Switzerland, and other European countries. This volume is the first comprehensive monograph on the firm. While it features the standard elements of such a work—including images, drawings, plans, and contextual references for all the firm’s major works—it also aims to offer more, presenting a broader, more intellectual take on Barozzi Veiga’s output and the way that it reflects the firm’s desire to find and draw on the primal condition of each location where they build.

Summary:
For a small country that generally keeps a low profile on the stage of world events, Denmark has played a disproportionately prominent role in the history of 20th Century architecture and design. Today in the early 21st Century, known for its anything-goes attitude towards design, Denmark also has its share of provocative architects surfing waves of fashionable trends, yet a few firms maintain a more grounded and centered approach to their work. Prominent among this group is KPF Architects (Kjelgaard, Pedersen & Fællestegnestuen), whose philosophy and work is a prime example of design rooted in a specific regional narrative while globally pursuing new ideas, new concepts and new materials that elevate their projects to the highest levels of architectural discourse, without sacrificing either usefulness or pleasure for the client. Even their most ordinary functional projects like banks, office buildings, and medical facilities embody a sensitivity that is uplifting. Kenneth Frampton states: One cannot help but be reminded of the tradition of Arne Jacobsen when looking at KPF Arkitekters work and thus of the commonsense functional, but ludic, character of the still vital Danish modern movement as it has consistently evolved over the past sixty years

Summary:
La chapelle Notre-Dame-du-Haut est une chapelle catholique construite de 1950 à 1955 sur la colline de Bourlémont, à Ronchamp, en Haute-Saône. Création de l'architecte franco-suisse Le Corbusier, elle est érigée à l'emplacement d'un ancien sanctuaire romain et d’une église de pèlerinage sévèrement endommagée par les bombardements lors de libération en septembre 1944.Lors de sa dernière visite à Ronchamp, en 1959, Le Corbusier a confié : « Merci à vous tous les usagers, je suis récompensé ». Depuis, le site a évolué : Jean Prouvé a réalisé un campanile dans les années 1970 et récemment, en 2011, Renzo Piano a inauguré la Poterie. Ainsi est né l’ensemble architectural harmonieux composé du monastère Sainte-Claire, de la Porterie, du campanile et de la chapelle Notre-Dame du Haut. Cette dernière, bâtiment iconique, est candidate à l’inscription au patrimoine mondial de l’UNESCO en 2016. Une magnifique campagne photographique permet de percevoir à la fois la majesté et la signification symbolique du monument du Corbusier, ainsi que les détails architecturaux et décoratifs, résultats d’un extraordinaire dialogue créatif. 1er grand livre (il n’existe que des guides touristiques actuellement sur le sujet) et campagne photographique sur le monument.

Summary:
"O le miracle de la photographie ! Brave objectif, quel oeil surnuméraire précieux", s'exclamait Le Corbusier au début du siècle. C'est très tôt en effet que l'architecte comprend l'intérêt de la photographie pour documenter ses voyages ainsi que l'efficacité du cinéma pour communiquer son message au monde. Sa pratique du médium montre une totale maîtrise du cadre et de la lumière lorsque, dans les années 1930, il glane avec sa caméra des milliers d'objets destinés à nourrir sa création ou se livre en amateur au plaisir des clichés de vacances. Les XVIIIe Rencontres de la Fondation Le Corbusier ont été l'occasion de retracer les nombreux domaines dans lesquels l'architecte a su exploiter les ressources offertes par la photographie.
