Summary:
This monograph is devoted to the winning project by b720 architects and David Chipperfield Architects, describing all details from the design process to the construction phase. The most significant proposition breaks up the massive program requirements (241.519,92 m2) into a series of separate but inter-related buildings on a public plaza, engendering a spatial composition that attempts to break the rigid and monolithic image of justice. This proposal also attempts to provide an equilibrium in the relationships between the different working areas, public areas and landscape. The book is organized in four different sections.

Working from an architect’s perspective, Eisenman, with Matt Roman, shows the evolution of Palladio’s villas from those that exhibit classical symmetrical volumetric bodies to others that exhibit no bodies at all, just fragments in a landscape. This conclusion stands in stark contrast to studies that emphasize principles of ideal symmetry and proportion in Palladio’s(...)

Summary:
Working from an architect’s perspective, Eisenman, with Matt Roman, shows the evolution of Palladio’s villas from those that exhibit classical symmetrical volumetric bodies to others that exhibit no bodies at all, just fragments in a landscape. This conclusion stands in stark contrast to studies that emphasize principles of ideal symmetry and proportion in Palladio’s work. Featuring more than 300 new analytic drawings and models, this book is an important addition to the corpus of Palladian studies and a testament to Palladio’s lasting place in contemporary architectural thought.

Summary:
Alvar Aalto et Reima Pietilä se sont nourris de leur terre natale aux saisons extrêmes, la Finlande, nation récente mais toujours ancrée à d’anciennes racines forestières et paysannes libres. Leur activité prolifique, constante expérimentation menée au sein de deux laboratoires d’architecture respectueux de la vie du «modeste individu», est le résultat d’une tradition unique de concours d’architecture démocratiques. Elle compte de nombreux bâtiments à travers le monde, aménagés jusqu’au détail, toujours saisissants d’intériorité et de prévenance. Imprégnés d’une harmonie subtile avec les lieux, leurs espaces hospitaliers appellent à être parcourus et à s’abriter au cœur de la dynamique spatiale qui les définit.

Parmi les oeuvres les plus abouties et les plus inspirées de Le Corbusier trône en bonne place la "Louise-Catherine", péniche aujourd'hui amarrée quai d'Austerlitz, à Paris. Présentant la rare particularité d'être construit en béton, cet immense chaland signe le triomphe d'une vision de l'architecture avant-gardiste, aux lignes simples et dépouillées. Depuis les années 1960, cet asile flottant est un motif de fascination et d'inspiration pour l'urbaniste Michel Cantal-Dupart, qui a choisi de mener l'enquête sur la "Louise-Catherine".
