Summary:
Rassemblant plusieurs générations de concepteurs aux origines disciplinaires et géographiques très diverses, l’AUA a développé son activité pendant 25 ans dans une France saisie par la modernisation et en proie à une activité politique intense – de la guerre d’Algérie finissante au premier mandat de François Mitterrand. En quelque sorte banni des grands centres urbains, il a opéré dans les territoires de banlieue et dans les premières villes nouvelles, dans un jeu permanent entre les initiatives des collectivités locales et les programme de l’État. L’engagement, défini par une participation active à l’histoire, marque l’ensemble des actions de l’AUA, qui n’a jamais dissocié la réponse aux attentes des élus et des militants de ses objectifs architecturaux. Cette démarche traverse tous les domaines dans lesquels l’Atelier a déployé son action ; l’habitation et les équipements publics ; l’urbanisme des tissus de banlieue et un souci pionnier du paysage ; la confrontation avec les techniques d’industrialisation et les modèles innovants. L’AUA a par ailleurs été parmi les pionniers d’un nouvel exercice professionnel fondé sur la coopération, le dialogue et le partage, qui a fait figure d’exemple et dont l’esprit pionnier et fécond est lisible dans les projets conduits par une nouvelle génération d’architectes issus de l’enseignement d’après 1968. La diversité des écritures architecturales (Jacques Kalisz, Henri Ciriani, Paul Chemetov, etc.) s’accompagne d’une adhésion partagée à un ensemble de principes, comme la fidélité aux idées du mouvement moderne, une réflexion persistante sur le travail d’équipe avec le souci de la pluridisciplinarité et l’attachement à la dimension sociale de l’architecture.

Summary:
Cutural Cues is the sixth book featured the work of the Louis I. Kahn Visiting Assistant Professorship, which brings young innovators in architectural design to the Yale School of Architecture. This book includes the studio research and projects of Joe Day of Deegan Day Design in “NOWplex” a cinema in L.A., Tom Wiscombe of Tom Wiscombe Architecture in “The Broad Redux,” for a new interpretation of the Broad Museum in L.A., and Adib Cure & Carie Penabad of Cure Penabade in the studio “Havana: Housing in the Historic Center.” The studios explore contemporary interpretations of the implications of cinema, the museum, and housing, taking cues from their complex cultural and urban contexts. Along with student work, interviews with the architects about the work of their professional offices and essays framing the themes of the work are combined with insight into the pedagogical approach of these practitioner-educators.

Summary:
Steve Badanes, Jim Adamson, and John Ringel believe an architect's job does not stop at designing a building, but that it extends to constructing it as well. Now working into their fifth decade, Jersey Devil, the loose-knit group they founded in 1972, bands together under this design/build ethos that an architect's place is just as much on the job site as it is at the drawing board. The trio pioneered design/build practice and their influence has spawned more than one hundred design/build programs. Jersey Devil's process and expertise are unpacked in this Architecture Brief, providing students and teachers with a toolkit for design/build education.
