Summary:
The exhibition 'Architectures without Place (1968-2008)' presents a series of works that either were never built or no longer exist : a vast field which ranges from theoretical speculations, visionary prefigurings and ideas competitions to modified projects, ephemeral installations and botched buildings. This variegated realm of the unbuilt (or of the now non-existent) allows us to analyse the conceptual heritage of a long period of Catalonian cultural history; in other words, it lets us dissect forty years of architecture produced locally, highlighting the prevailing ideas at each step of the way. This is a heterogeneous field of project design in which converge other disciplines fuelled by a powerful desire to articulate and transform space : comics, theatre, film, ephemeral installations and the visual arts in general.

Summary:
Cet ouvrage présente le travail de plus d’une centaine d’artistes qui tous proposent des créations dans lesquelles le thème de l’architecture, du bâti, joue un rôle central. Sculptures, installations, dessins, peintures, collages et photomontages ne sont que quelques-unes des nombreuses techniques utilisées par ces artistes pour exprimer leur vision de la chose construite, qu’il s’agisse d’une maison, d’une église, d’un immeuble, ou plus largement de la rue ou de la ville. Propositions, critiques, hommages, questionnements abondent dans ces projets qui, en définitive, racontent l’histoire de lieux, réels ou fictifs, utopiques ou tragiques, et révèlent l’importance du rôle de l’architecture dans notre culture visuelle.

Summary:
This book features the experimental pavilion projects carried by the AA's Intermediate Unit 2 over the past six years. Over the past six years the students of the Architectural Association's Intermediate Unit 2 have designed and built a series of experimental pavilions. Structured to follow a year in the life of the unit, this book presents the processes of the pavilions' design and production, from concept ideas to workshop fabrication. Essays by the unit's tutors, Charles Walker and Martin Self, explain the ambitions and pedagogic basis of the programme, rooted in the idea of experiential learning. Through the voices of students, tutors and anonymous critics, both the educational validity of this innovative design-build programme and its architectural output is explored.

Les îles - réelles, artificielles et métaphoriques - ont toujours été fascinantes. Mises en évidence par leur isolation, les constructions contemporaines à proximité de l'eau, voire sur l'eau, dépassent les frontières pour créer une architecture insulaire impressionnante, parfois même audacieuse. Comptant une cinquantaine de projets, Îles présente des créations d'architectes reconnus tels que Jean Nouvel, Frank O. Gehry, Renzo Piano, ou Foster + Partners, et propose une découverte fascinante de l'architecture flottante actuelle, future et lointaine.

D'un refuge dans le désert de l'Arizona à un centre de recherches marines flottant, d'un " coffre à graines " norvégien à une station scientifique du pôle Sud, chacun des projets présentés comporte un tableau rappelant l'altitude, les précipitations et les températures moyennes du site. Un choix de photographies, complété de croquis, de plans et de rendus informatiques, permet de restituer le projet dans son environnement. L'ouvrage est divisé en cinq chapitres : chaleur, froid, altitude, eau, espace.

Summary:
The book, ''Architecture as fabulated reality,'' marks the culmination of AAPK’s four experimental architectural projects, which employed virtual reality technology (VR) as the primary medium. The four projects explore a new emerging sense of spatiality, fabulating and questioning the notion of reality based upon shared backgrounds and attitudes to contemporary architectural discourse. To enhance ideas advanced by AAPK, the book invites four guest contributors from the architectural academic field in forms of critical essays or an interview. They reveal their collective interest in the power of the image and in forms of reality, in medium specificity and digital technology, and in presentation and representation along disciplinary lines. The subject of the book becomes clearer by curating and connecting each text, and meanwhile, makes it possible to reflect upon the situation that architecture is facing in the reality crisis caused by today’s digital technology or image culture.

Summary:
'Dreamscapes & Artificial Architecture' presents the work of creatives from across the globe, exploring the infinite ways to conceptualize utopian oases and dystopian nightmares. With their roots in spatial design, their ideas present a new creative current defined by the fusion of digital techniques such as computer rendering and 3D art, and an aesthetic that moves between fantasy and reality. Freed from the constraints of the physical world, these dreamscapes expand the possibilities for architecture and interior design.
