Summary:
The first of its kind in Europe, Plymouth Theatre Royal's new complex provides a single location for the production of theatrical works, including the construction of sets, costumes and props, combined with rehearsal and education spaces. Sited on reclaimed land overlooking the river Plym, inland the aera is industrial, with BOC, a fish factory, oil, sewage, fertilisers, and the usual crop of tin sheds, engineering structures, and the occasional oil tank or gasholder. Into this mix PTR2 forms the thin end of a regeneration edge.

Summary:
Nature's blueprints are in a constant state of adaptation and transformation, reacting flexibly to varying conditions and changing influences. In this respect they are a perfect model for innovative planning processes in architecture. The result is extreme efficiency and the most beautiful designs under any given spatial and temporal conditions. This publication provides an introduction to a method of designing where the development and integration of advanced technology leads to a continual optimization of form and efficiency in the resulting architecture. Looking at five prominent projects, created in recent years by Petzinka Pink Architects, technical innovation, planning contexts and general lines of development are systematically presented and reflected upon. This book provides detailed insight into the work of one of Germany's most successful architectural offices, which became known for unusual projects such as the Berlin offices of the federal state North-Rhine Westphalia, the CDU's party headquarters in Berlin, the City Gate in Dusseldorf and the Century Hall in Bochum.

This book documents the comprehensive development of the project designed by Bernard Tschumi Urbanistes Architectes for the Exposition internationale 2004 in Paris / Seine St-Denis. The Expo will remain in a virtual state, since it was cancelled in August 2002. The design of the master plan, gates, bridges, pavilions, kiosks, and the agora, leads to an original project for a contemporary question: what would be, architecturally speaking, the image of the image, the theme of the theme of Expo 2004? This exploration of the real and the virtual is the major theme of the book.

Summary:
Pioneering architecture in Graz: the radical architecture project known as the Friendly Alien - the new building for the Kunsthaus Graz - was developed by the British star architects Peter Cook and Colin Fournier. Within the scope of Graz 2003 - Kulturhauptstadt Europas (Graz 2003 - Cultural Capital of Europe) the city of Graz provided the possibility for the two London-based architects Peter Cook and Colin Fournier to transform a visionary concept into built reality: the Kunsthaus Graz, a new and unique site for international exhibitions of modern and contemporary art. With this radical architecture project, Graz received a futuristic-looking building which satisfies to a high degree both the psychological and the functional demands of a visitor-oriented international art museum. The unusual biomorphic forms of the Friendly Alien make for a suspenseful dialog with the historic old town, especially with the century-old Graz landmark, the cubic clock-tower high up on castle hill. The documentation at hand presents the development of the Friendly Alien from a Utopian concept to a highly complex functional body. The extensive photographic material includes first-rate computer simulations and sheds light on the urban environment and its history, shows the unique architectural features of the building, and investigates with an "x-ray view" the complex network of static and technical utilities in the "skin", the nerve center of the Friendly Alien.

Summary:
Architecte, théoricien, urbaniste et écrivain, Jozsef Vago travaille à Budapest (1900-1919, 1926-1940), à Rome (1919-1926) et à Genève (1927-1935), avant de s'établir en France (1940-1947). Jeune diplômé, il s'engage dans la Sécession hongroise fondée par Odon Lechner et s'attache, comme de nombreux architectes de sa génération, à élaborer un nouveau langage architectural national qui valorise la culture populaire. Jozsef Vago est aujourd'hui considéré comme l'une des figures de proue du renouveau architectural hongrois. Ses réalisations à Budapest entre 1903 et 1914, fleurons d'architecture " nationale " imprégnés de modernisme viennois, témoignent de son ouverture vers l'Occident et de son attention à la question sociale. Membre du Werkbund, engagé pendant la période révolutionnaire de 1918-1919, il est contraint d'émigrer en Italie lors de l'arrivée au pouvoir de l'amiral Horthy. Installé à Rome entre 1920 et 1926, il tente en vain de s'intégrer à la profession : il élabore des nouvelles typologies d'habitat social pour les cités-jardins romaines, publie de nombreux projets sous le nom de " Giuseppe Vago ", mais ne parvient à obtenir qu'une seule commande à Rome. Sans ressources, confronté à la xénophobie et au fascisme, il se réinstalle à Budapest, où il se voit empêché d'exercer par l'Ordre des architectes hongrois, créé en 1926. Sa victoire au concours du palais de la Société des Nations à Genève en 1927 inaugure une nouvelle phase de sa carrière. Ses démêlés avec ses associés - Henri-Paul Nénot, Jules Flegenheimer, Camille Lefèvre et Carlo Broggi - et avec Le Corbusier au cours de la réalisation du projet l'incitent, dans les années trente et quarante, à prendre part au débat architectural européen, à entamer une importante œuvre de critique et à élaborer une véritable philosophie de l'architecture et de l'urbanisme. Combattant les positions de l'avant-garde architecturale - et notamment de Le Corbusier -, il tente d'établir une synthèse entre les idéaux de l'Art nouveau et du modernisme, estimant que l'architecte doit s'efforcer de répondre aux aspirations sociales et économiques du Mouvement moderne sans pour autant renoncer au " superflu ", c'est-à-dire à la qualité artistique et à l'ornementation. Cette recherche, qui apparaît dans son ouvrage théorique À travers les villes (1930) et dans son projet d'urbanisation de Budapest (1933-1937), trouve son aboutissement dans son projet théorique de reconstruction opposé aux préceptes des CIAM et de la Charte d'Athènes : la Ville de l'Avenir (1940-1945)
