Summary:
Frank Gehry est sans conteste l'un des plus grands architectes contemporains, à qui l'on doit notamment le célèbre musée Guggenheim de Bilbao. C'est pourtant davantage par l'étude des maisons qu'il a conçues, ses projets les plus visionnaires et fondateurs de son oeuvre, que l'on prend toute la mesure de l'importance et de l'originalité de sa démarche.

Summary:
Frank Gehry est sans conteste l'un des plus grands architectes contemporains, à qui l'on doit notamment le célèbre musée Guggenheim de Bilbao. C'est pourtant davantage par l'étude des maisons qu'il a conçues, ses projets les plus visionnaires et fondateurs de son oeuvre, que l'on prend toute la mesure de l'importance et de l'originalité de sa démarche. Gehry revisite les matières ordinaires telle que la tôle ondulée, le contreplaqué et le grillage, il expérimente la couleur et tord les volumes, distend et écrase le cube, jusqu'à remettre en question les notions établies de géométrie et de structure. Ce sont toutes les étapes de cette réflexion que l'on découvre ici a travers ses recherches sur les maisons, des plus anciennes aux plus récentes, à commencer par sa propre maison à Santa Monica, en Californie.

Summary:
Throughout his creative career, Turner Prize-winning sculptor Anish Kapoor has worked extensively with architects and engineers, and built a large body of public works that merge sculpture and architecture. Now, in a world designed using CAD programs, Kapoor argues that the next logical step in integrating design with production is to move from virtual models to 3D-printed buildings. In Unconformity and Entropy, a number of finished architectural works are fleshed out with preparatory studies and extracts from the artist's extensive technical research, illustrating his investigation of the fluid and plastic qualities of cement. Central to the project is the conceit of the use of a purpose-built machine to generate forms through which Kapoor would explore the intersection of idea and event. Extensively illustrated with original drawings, sketches and color photographs, and superbly designed, Unconformity and Entropy also includes several illuminating introductory essays.

Summary:
An ongoing program of temporary structures designed by internationally acclaimed architects, The Serpentine Gallery Pavilion for 2009 was designed by Kazuyo Sejima and Ryue Nishizawa, of the leading Japanese architecture practice SANAA. Sejima and Nishizawa created a stunning structure that resembles a reflective cloud or a pool of water, sitting atop a series of delicate columns. The metal roof varies in height, wrapping itself around the trees in the park and sweeping down almost to the ground in some places. Open and ephemeral in structure, its reflective materials allow it to sit seamlessly within the natural environment, reflecting both the park and sky. “It works as a field of activity with no walls,” say Sejima and Nishizawa. This publication documents the conception, construction and life of this impressive temporary structure.

Summary:
The Herning Museum of Contemporary Art (HEART) in Herning, Denmark, inhabits a new building designed by American architect Steven Holl, who was drawn to the project by the institution's collection of works by the Italian Conceptual artist Piero Manzoni. Holl's complex museum is surrounded by a landscape of hills and ponds that meshes with his structures; the single-story building itself, with its natural light and innovative roof construction, refers to the formal vocabulary of the 1960s factory opposite. In reference to its origins, an overhead view of the museum recalls outstretched shirtsleeves while the façade resembles wrinkled fabric.
