Plus que répondre uniquement à un but esthétique, les nouvelles constructions revêtent une importance culturelle, politique et sociale. Et seules celles qui parviennent à réfléter ces valeurs, en les conjuguant à une approche innovatrice de l'architecture, peuvent être qualifiées de spectaculaires.

Summary:
Plus que répondre uniquement à un but esthétique, les nouvelles constructions revêtent une importance culturelle, politique et sociale. Et seules celles qui parviennent à réfléter ces valeurs, en les conjuguant à une approche innovatrice de l'architecture, peuvent être qualifiées de spectaculaires. Mis au défi par un contexte urbain complexe, les édifices doivent intégrer leurs designs dans le tissus urbain existant, par le biais d'une interprétation subtile et sensible de leurs objectifs et relation avec le public. Tenant compte de ces enjeux et critères, cet ouvrage rassemble une sélection de projets d'architecture contemporaine remarquables, réalisés dans le monde au cours de ces dernières.

Summary:
In 2015, the storied fashion house Fendi moved its headquarters into the Palazzo della Civiltà Italiana in Rome, a stark white cube perforated by symmetrical arches. Originally commissioned as part of an exhibition on Roman civilization for the 1942 world’s fair, the architects took their cues from ancient history to create a building that was quintessentially Roman yet decidedly modern, earning its nickname “the Square Colosseum.” Because of its striking appearance and iconic status, the palazzo subsequently made appearances in a number of films by directors such as Roberto Rossellini, Federico Fellini, and Peter Greenaway. The building remained relatively abandoned throughout much of its existence, until its recent inhabitance by the always forward-thinking house of Fendi, an experience which Karl Lagerfeld has likened to being “on a spaceship transported into the future.” Featuring photographs by famous artists such as Gabriele Basilico, Franco Fontana, and Lagerfeld, this gorgeously illustrated volume takes the reader on a fascinating tour through art, architecture, culture, and history.

Summary:
Set within the cultural and political world of Vienna from the fin-de siecle to the present day, this book provides an insightful analysis of the city's extraordinarily rich architectural tradition. Beginning with Wagner’s polemical manifesto, ''Moderne Architektur'', it stresses the importance of the fraught and highly polarized cultural politics that engulfed Vienna for most of the twentieth century and ultimately produced much of what is modern in every field of culture and science. The book also places architectural history within the context of the political economy that has shaped Vienna and highlights the relatively unknown tradition of Viennese social housing, initiated by social democratic Red Vienna in the 1920s. Today, 60% of Vienna’s population lives in the most successful social housing in the world.
