Summary:
Depuis la découverte de la caverne, les hommes n’ont cessé d’utiliser les formations géologiques qu’offre notre planète. Il a fallu cependant attendre une date récente pour que des avancées dans le domaine de l’ingénierie structurelle permettent de considérer la surface de la terre comme un élément architectural à part entière. La prise de conscience de la raréfaction des ressources naturelles et l’influence grandissante des architectes paysagistes ont également incité certains créateurs parmi les plus prestigieux à inventer des formes qui s’intègrent à la topographie naturelle d’un lieu, la déploient, la subliment et à créer ce que l’on pourrait appeler des gratteterre en opposition aux gratte-ciel. Du terminal de tramway de Zaha Hadid en France à la bibliothèque d’Alexandrie de Snøhetta en Egypte, de la maison nichée dans une colline du Pays de Galles de Future Systems au Spencer Theatre d’Antoine Predock aux Etats- Unis, les cinquante projets présentés dans ce livre révèlent l’importance de cette nouvelle voie architecturale.

Summary:
The fine line between art and architecture is rapidly becoming harder to perceive. With the aid of sophisticated computer programs, today's most innovative architects are working on designs so conceptual they could not be realized in the physical world. Nevertheless, these sorts of forward-thinking projects are an important influence on the architectural climate. At the dawn of the 21st century, architecture is entering a paradigm shift; no longer can it be completely distinguished from art. Be they built from bytes or bricks, the projects in this book represent the imagination of the planet's most talented and creative architects. For all the latest and most important architectural projects and trends, look no further than this volume, the follow-up to our popular and groundbreaking book Architecture Now!

This trend, which can be seen in the work of architectural firms like OMA, Jean Nouvel, Dominique Perrault, Herzog & De Meuron and Toyo Ito, can be connected with one of the dominant(...)

Summary:
There are all kinds of indications that architecture in the nineties has set off in a new direction after the domination of the two last decades by postmodernism as a style or attitude. This trend, which can be seen in the work of architectural firms like OMA, Jean Nouvel, Dominique Perrault, Herzog & De Meuron and Toyo Ito, can be connected with one of the dominant forces of the present time: the globalization that is taking place in virtually every field. One of the consequences for architecture is the erosion of the postmodern (and deconstructivist) axiom of the uniqueness of the site. The context, let alone contextualism, no longer seems to play an important role in an increasing number of designs and buildings. Semiotic expressiveness - another postmodern theme - is also often lacking in this architecture. The author explores this new trend towards abstract, neutral architecture, which in various respects can be seen as the last word of modern architecture of the postwar International Style. This enlarged edition of "Supermodernism" includes a new final chapter in which Ibelings charts the latest examples of supermodernism, as well as a revised introduction and conclusion in which he responds to the numerous reactions his provocative stance has triggered.

Summary:
"Out of Site" accompanies the eponymous exhibition featuring fictional architectural spaces and topographies that reflect how digital technology, virtual reality, urban and suburban growth, and global expansion have had an impact on contemporary culture. Advances in technology and communication have begun to blur the distinctions between what is real and virtual, interior and exterior, natural and artificial, local and global. The artists in "Out of Site" have responded to these developments by re-organizing and re-articulating space using a wide range of media. The "fictional" spaces in the work in "Out of Site" point to new ways of experiencing and navigating space, both physically in our homes, workplaces, and neighborhoods as well as on the Internet, and are informed by the history of utopian proposals, science fiction, and major shifts in architectural discourse and building in recent years.
