Summary:
A graduate of London's Royal College of Art, David Adjaye formed Adjaye Associates in 2000, with a multicultural design team dedicated to an international perspective. Adjaye's early residential designs critiqued the Victorian streets around them, and also focused on the society-building aspects of city life – public buildings, commemorative spaces and urban gathering places for children. More recently Adjaye has conducted important research into African architecture, and collaborated with Chris Ofili on installations that unite Ofili's paintings with Adjaye's explorations of light and space. Ouput showcases some 25 designs and includes revealing interviews with Adjaye and Aureliusz Kowalczyk.

Summary:
Since its foundation in 1989, Asymptote Architecture has been at the forefront of technological innovation in the field of architecture and design. Actualizations presents a detailed portfolio of 18 virtual designs, from competition entries to commissioned building projects like the Solomon Tower in Seoul, destined to be one of Asia’s tallest buildings. The text examines the vision of award-winning founders Hani Rashid and Lise Anne Couture, from their early polemical investigations into fluidity and mutational space to their current position as leading-edge technology specialists. Asymptote argues that architecture has always been an idealistic virtual discipline, a conviction reflected in their many art installations and exhibition designs, and their 2004 award of the Frederick Kiesler Prize for their progressive blend of speculative architecture and art.

Cet inventaire des manques s’élève en une mélopée incantatoire qui, l’espace d’un instant, rend présentes ces « unités » perdues pour l’histoire de la création et de la pensée humaines. Mais son véritable pouvoir est de faire œuvre nouvelle, récitatif dont le rythme résonne en nous comme celui d’une unité retrouvée.

According to Maki Onishi and Yuki Hyakuda, who founded their office in 2008, “For us, building a structure resembles the weaving of a story. A thrilling fantasy begins in the familiar world around us, but then, at some point, carries us off to another world altogether.” Eight architectural projects, both completed works and ongoing concepts, are introduced in this book. Each has a story that begins with a detailed illustration serving as an index of the diverse elements of the design process and then moves into specifics regarding some of these elements using many models, photos and text. Includes essays by the architects and a conversation with Ryue Nishizawa.
