Summary:
In the Tyrol region of Austria, amid the traditional wood-frame country residences, an innovative style of architecture has recently become preeminent. Current construction no longer has the massive, provincial look customary in this region, but instead projects a cosmopolitan flair that reflects contemporary international trends. This confident art of building employs a more modern architectural language, and uses steel, glass, and concrete as well as wood to achieve its aims. This title examines the work of a younger generation of architects practicing in the Tyrol. These buildings are of a remarkable variety and complexity, and range from more traditional family homes and apartment buildings to unusual designs for kindergardens, schools, footbridges, firehouses, and supermarkets. The author is the editor-in-chief of "Architektur aktuell", a bilingual magazine on international architecture focusing on Austria.

Price:

(available to order)
Summary:
The Escuelas Nacionales de Arte (National Art Schools), constructed from 1961 to 1965, were the result of an educational program initiated by Fidel Castro and Che Guevara soon after the Revolution of 1959. The architects they commissioned created an organic complex of brick and terra-cotta Catalan vaulted structures that reflected the optimism and exuberance of the period. The schools attempted to reinvent architecture, just as the Revolution hoped to reinvent society. However, even before construction was completed, the schools fell out of official favor and were subjected to an attack that resulted in their subsequent "disappearance." An ideological campaign branded them politically incorrect, a bourgeois luxury that was not in keeping with the Revolution. The buildings fell into disuse and, abandoned to the jungle, were literally overgrown. Now, almost 40 years later, Cuba is beginning to recognize and reclaim these significant works of architecture. Revolution of Forms investigates the history and politics surrounding the creation of these structures as well as their subsequent abandonment. The text is accompanied by archival photographs, plans, and images of the present condition of these structures.

Soutenue et financée par le ministère de la Culture et la Ville de Paris, cette étude avait pour but de dessiner le Grand Paris du XXIe siècle à la fois créatif et durable, « la » priorité du protocole de Kyoto et du Grenelle de l'environnement. Une gare Europe à Aubervilliers, le bois de Vincennes transformé en Central Park, les toits de Paris couverts d'une forêt de panneaux solaires, un réseau de transports aussi performant que le métro de Fulgence Bienvenüe, des ministères en périphérie, Le Havre à l'horizon maritime de la métropole, voici un aperçu du Grand Paris 2030 tel qu'il se dessine en pointillés. Le propos de ce livre – fruit d'un travail d'investigation de neuf mois – est destiné à un large public qui appréciera la pertinence de chacune de ces propositions. Des jalons pour l'avenir.
