Summary:
The “Étude sur le mouvement d’art décoratif en Allemagne”, printed in 1912, was Le Corbusier’s first publication. The young architect lucidly analyses the German applied arts movement and its protagonists, such as Peter Behrens for whom he worked in 1910–11. The text is one of the most substantial documentations of the development of modern German design; at the same time, it provides entirely new insights into Le Corbusier’s early life. This publication introduces the “Étude” in its first-ever English translation. An extensive illustrated commentary discusses Le Corbusier’s text in its context of applied arts, politics and architecture on the eve of the First World War.

Summary:
Glenn Murcutt is an internationally acclaimed Australian architect who for five years taught a series of master studios for graduate architecture students at the University of Washington. This book combines examples of the students' studio work with edited transcripts of Murcutt's public lectures and sessions with students, professionals, and Finnish architect Juhani Pallasmaa to produce a multifaceted portrait of Glenn Murcutt as a teacher. Essays set the studios in the context of an inquiry into the local practice of a global architecture. The studio work shows an application, in the Northwest environment, of Murcutt's fundamental principles. These projects often present architecture that has a precise engagement with local conditions and the natural environment. The collected studio work shows a full progression from site sketches through detail development, in drawings and models.

Summary:
Designed by the architects’s themselves, this monograph is published in conjunction with an exhibition of their work at the Cité de l’Architecture et du Patrimoine in Paris. The illustrated monograph gathers all the projects that have been designed by the office and presents them in thematic groups, such as beginnings, landscape, dreams, freedom, transformation and the city – together, these themes are woven into a story that challenges the architects’s proposals. In denying the obvious, the architects seek to emphasise what is essential and specific to each situation and context, while in turn proposing an architecture that celebrates freedom.

Summary:
Artist and photographer Edwin Zwakman confuses the viewer by photographing scale models as if they are a real building. Fascinated by this procedure, Benthem Crouwel invited Zwakman to undertake a photographic project featuring the three buildings by this architectural office that are found in the Dutch miniature city of Madurodam: the High Speed Train Bridge over Hollandsch Diep, Schiphol Airport, and the yet to be built Utrecht Central Station. The scale models captured in these pages are simplified, subjected to weather, and populated by merry, slanting miniature people. Further, Zwakman has meticulously sought out, and captured qualities such as transparency, visible construction and harmonious interaction between large scale and the individual that typify the work of the practice
