Summary:
Reconnu comme le plus vaste des opéras anciens (onze mille mètres carrés), tout est excessif dans l’opéra de Paris. Accroupi au coeur de la ville, l’Opéra Garnier est une ville en soi, avec son maillage d’avenues et de places, ses quartiers et ses populations. Comme jadis les Halles, l’Opéra a deux faces : diurne et nocturne. L’approche photographique de Pascal Delcey(...)

Summary:
Reconnu comme le plus vaste des opéras anciens (onze mille mètres carrés), tout est excessif dans l’opéra de Paris. Accroupi au coeur de la ville, l’Opéra Garnier est une ville en soi, avec son maillage d’avenues et de places, ses quartiers et ses populations. Comme jadis les Halles, l’Opéra a deux faces : diurne et nocturne. L’approche photographique de Pascal Delcey représente trois années d’exploration, d’attente et de prises de vue, sans aucune contrainte. Le résultat est un voyage intemporel au coeur de ce qui apparaît comme un temple, un sanctuaire au coeur de la ville, véritable "vaisseau".

Summary:
Jean-Michel Wilmotte, architecte, urbaniste et designer, a ouvert son bureau d'études en 1975. Il préside aujourd'hui aux destinées d'une agence de plus de cent personnes de vingt-et-une nationalités différentes et travaille sur plus d'une centaine de projets en France et à l'étranger (Europe, Corée, Liban, Maroc, Qatar, Japon, Russie, Etats-Unis). Les activités de son bureau d'études s'étendent du design industriel à l'architecture, tout en poursuivant des réalisations dans les domaines de la greffe contemporaine et de la muséographie. Urbaniste, il développe le concept d'" architecture intérieure des villes ", afin de traiter l'espace public avec le même soin que l'espace privé. Wilmotte, l'instinct architecte, tel un carnet de voyages, est une mise en images du travail du créateur. Chemin faisant, durant quelques années, Jean Grisoni a noté quelques impressions, observé quelques obsessions, remarqué quelques principes, et partagé quelques émotions de la vie de l'architecte.

Summary:
Alonso, Balaguer & Associated Architects, one of the most prolific offices in architecture today, presents in this publication their project philosophy through their most recent works, more than fifty projects and works in several cities and countries. The internationalization of their architectural and business concepts, exporting on a high level Spanish architecture in general, and demonstrating how, Catalonian architecture in particular, is opening a bright path ahead for projects of great repercussion and social significance. Presenting concepts such as the future of the compact city, the fifth skin of facade or the mixture of uses architecturally as a guarantee for a rich urban life are handled here as examples and references from their office.

Summary:
Alessandro Mendini (Milan, 1931) is one of the few protagonists of the international scene of architecture, art and design who designed in every possible size. Walter Gropius’s renowned statement identifies the architect’s field “from spoon to city”: during his career Mendini faced projects “from the infinitesimal to the infinite”. The book dedicated to Alessandro Mendini published by Corraini is a non-stop stream of images and occasions among the renowned Milanese architect’s works and philosophy. Designing horizons, rooms, bodies and thoughts are the four moments of a personal and evocative course through Mendini’s works: from urban landscape to interior furnishing, to body accessories, to his activity as architecture and design theorist, Mendini is a protagonist of a personal and aesthetic approach to the project. His design is famous for its emotional and individual character, as well as for the greater importance given to psychological and sensory influences rather than rational contents. In fact, his projects have often been associated with definitions such as “visual poetry”, “fairy and baroque design”, and “labyrinth expansion of spaces and sensations”.

Summary:
This slim “edition architese” volume (the fourth in the series) offers unprecedented access to one of the world’s preeminent architects: Valerio Olgiati, the award-winning Swiss designer and professor at the architecture academy in Mendriso. In an engrossing interview, Olgiati discusses the social responsibility of the architect, the difference between earlier and modern generations of architects, the influence of post-modernity, and the difficulties that confront an architect as a design is built. Accented with details from some of his most notable works, the book provides a definitive overview of Olgiati’s approach to the “organic unity” of his “unrelentingly precise” architectural style. Architectural historian Markus Breitschmid adds a perceptive essay.
