Summary:
The birthplace of the skycraper, Chicago is famous for an architectural tradition that has influenced building around the globe. It is the craddle of modern architecture. It gae rise to the urban office building and the flowing, open floor plans of today's homes. This book chronicles Chicago's architectural tradition from the nineteenth through the early twenty-fisrt century : from the structural simplicity of Chicago School commercial building to the low-slung Prairie School house, from the streamlined Art Deco skycraper to the minimalist Miesian tower of glass and steel, all the way through the strikingly original, diverse designs of the present day's so-called second modern period.

Summary:
Des premières lois des Soviets à sa libéralisation totale dans les années 1990, la datcha, maison de campagne du citadin russe, va vivre une histoire pleine de bruit et de fureur. Bourgeoise, ni urbaine, ni rurale, individuelle, oisive, la datcha cristallise les contradictions entre l'idéologie du régime et les aspirations du citoyen. Car c'est la société soviétique ordinaire, en perpétuelle situation d'expérimentation dans un contexte de pénurie chronique, que l'on observe ici tout au long du vingtième siècle. Où l'on voit comment la datcha se faufile dans les interstices du collectivisme totalitaire, concrétisant un espace de survie et de liberté pour les citoyens.

Summary:
"If...Then : Architectural Speculation" is the sixth in an annual series of publications featuring work by talented architects selected by The Architectural League of New York's Young Architects Competition jury. This year, entrants were asked to explore the process of architectural speculation: the act of imagination that precedes every work, projecting future events in a space that does not yet exist. The winners of the competition - Fernando Romero; Tobias Lundquist; Anthony Piermarini and Hansy L. Better Barraza; Keith Mitnick, Mireille Roddier, and Stewart Hicks; Tom Wiscombe; and Gail Peter Borden - take on this challenge and creatively address the social and political assumptions surrounding architectural production through a rethinking of site, program, form, technology, and materials.

Summary:
Contemporary Athens is characterized by a building type that transformed the Greek capital into a modern metropolis within a few decades in the 20th century: the polykatoikia, a small-scale urban apartment block. For almost forty years the unchallenged residential ideal for all social classes, the polykatoikia by the end of the century had become synonymous with the rushed mass production of the postwar period and inhospitable living conditions in the inner city. This book sets out to trace the architectural origins of this typology. For the first time, it provides a comprehensive examination of the architectural concepts developed by Greek architects for the polykatoikia.
