Charles-Édouard Jeanneret, dit Le Corbusier (1887-1965), est sans conteste l’un des architectes les plus importants du xxe siècle. De la villa Savoye, à Poissy, à la Cité radieuse de Marseille, de son cabanon au bord de la Méditerranée à la ville de Chandigarh en Inde, en passant par des immeubles d’habitation, une chapelle et même un couvent, il a réalisé sa vie durant des bâtiments devenus des icônes du Mouvement moderne que les amateurs du monde entier viennent visiter. Cet architecte, parfois provocateur, a aussi consacré son temps au dessin, à la peinture et à l’écriture. Théoricien, il a publié une quarantaine de livres qui restent des références. « L’architecture est le jeu savant, correct et magnifique des volumes assemblés sous la lumière », écrivait celui qui a durablement marqué cette discipline.

Summary:
Between 2010 and 2020, Caruso St John expanded its reputation for sensitive and characterful architecture through a remarkable range of projects. Major buildings in the heart of Swiss, German, and Belgian cities explored the role urban landmarks can play in the present day, while smaller domestic projects provided the opportunity for experiments in restoration, materials, and colour. Transforming buildings for reuse – from beloved public institutions to longabandoned industrial sites – became a focal point for the practice as it sought to emphasise its work with the existing rather than contribute to the escalating production of new construction. Their designs for memorials, exhibitions, and museums further developed this engagement with memory and an aliveness to the past.

Summary:
The second volume in an anthology on Tsuyoshi Tane’s evolving architectural practice. Featuring seventeen recent projects, including major commissions currently underway, such as the New Main Building of the Imperial Hotel Tokyo and the Sensoji Temple Treasure Museum, it highlights his ongoing investigation into “archaeological thinking”, a design approach rooted in uncovering memory, place, and the deep layers of history that shape the built environment. Each project thus emerges from extensive research: archival, material, cultural, spatial. Through sketches, studies, and project narratives, it reveals how ideas are patiently excavated and woven into architectural forms.

Summary:
“Memoryscapes,” the second volume in the “Architecture Connecting” series, co-published with the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, examines the role of human narratives in shaping the spaces of tomorrow. Focusing on the intersections of architecture with anthropology, archaeology and geology, the book presents the work of two studios whose practices engage deeply with the past through both broad investigative research and precise architectural responses. Bound back-to-back, the publication comprises two volumes presenting the distinct approaches of DnA Architecture and Design (Beijing) and Atelier Tsuyoshi Tane Architects (ATTA, Tokyo and Paris). DnA’s practice of “architectural acupuncture” focuses on the social and economic regeneration of rural Chinese communities through targeted interventions that revive long-standing cultural practices, while ATTA’s “Archaeology of the Future” draws on the layered memories of places to create future possibilities across architecture, urban planning and exhibition design, in an international context. Led by Xu Tiantian and Tsuyoshi Tane, respectively, the two studios share an approach that connects social traditions, cultural heritage, craftsmanship and production conditions within complex, site-specific frameworks. Through illustrated essays and project dossiers, the publication traces how these practices draw on lived histories and place-based knowledge to generate new architectural narratives, bridging the past and the future in response to contemporary needs.

Summary:
Denise Scott Brown (1931), a well-known architect who, since the late 1960s, has formed, together with Robert Venturi, one of the most prolific and revolutionary couples in the history of contemporary architecture, has also been a photographer and traveller: naturalised American, she was born in Zambia, grew up and studied in South Africa, went on to study in England and Italy, continued learning and teaching on the East and West coasts of the United States and settled in Philadelphia, where she currently lives. To her we dedicate this second volume of the collection ''The Architect's Album'', whose first issue was dedicated to the figure of Sigurd Lewerentz, architect-photographer-traveller. Here we present a selection of around 50 unpublished photographs that tell the story of her wedding journey with her first husband, Robert Scott Brown, in 1955: five weeks travelling in Illyria, a Balkan region between Albania and the former Yugoslavia,where a young architect-photographer shows us, through her camera, a country in transition, portraying aspects of rural and urban life, through places, people, animals, landscapes, streets and architecture that take us on a unique and transcendental journey, her Illyrian Honeymoon.

Summary:
Saarinen's buildings are famous worldwide: the Gateway Arch in St. Louis, the TWA terminal in JFK Airport, Dulles Airport, outside Washington D.C., the CBS Building in New York, the General Motors Technical Center in Michigan, the US Embassy in London, and many other landmarks. Equally celebrated are his furniture designs, including the Tulip Table and Womb Chair. While Saarinen's exuberant, even expressionistic, forms were lightning rods for many critics, his unique personal style is now much admired, making him a key figure for many designers practicing today. Saarinen's was a career of innovation. His airport terminals combined the poetry of sculpture with daring structural feats and raganizational genius; his pioneering industrial complexes for GM, IBM, and Bell Labs brought rational modernism to corporate America; and his furniture and residential buildings conveyed an optimistic, humane vision for the future. This illustrated monograph spans Saarinen's entire career, including his drawings, models, most important built works, and furniture.

Summary:
Rick Joy builds with remarkable sensitivity, precision, and grace. The allure of his architecture is often quietly and seductively hidden in the sensual qualities of one's experiences: the sounds, smells, tactile qualities, and moods of his work. The nine buildings shown in this, the first monograph on Joy's work, express his interest in making places that are transcendent moments of space, light, and matter. In each of the projects the physical landscape, its specific environment, and its rich history are revealed and celebrated. While many of the projects here use sustainable materials like rammed earth, Joy's primary interest is in the quality of the spaces he makes. He shows us how efficient and environmentally sensitive architecture can emerge as a by-product from a quest for the timeless qualities that are always associated with great architecture. With a forword by Steven Holl and an introduction by Juhani Pallasmaa.
