Summary:
Two residential buildings by Brazilian architects are studied in depth in this volume. Invisible from the street, Angelo Bucci's house reveals itself in sequences until one reaches the highest point--and 360-degree views. Carla Juaçaba's vacation house in a remote, virgin forest is a small solitaire.

Summary:
Investigating the current groundswell of experiments and creative work that utilises design as a method to explore and manipulate actual biological material, Neoplasmatic Design presents the impact of emerging and progressive biological advances upon architectural and design practice. The rapid development of innovative design approaches in the realms of biology, microbiology, biotechnology, medicine and surgery has immense significance for architecture, being as important for their cultural and aesthetic impact as for their technical implications. Featured architects include Peter Cook, Tobias Klein, Kol/Mac, Make, R(n), Neil Spiller and VenhoevenCS. Longer contributions from medical practitioners, architects and artists: Rachel Armstrong, Marcos Cruz, Anthony Dunne, Nicola Haines, Steve Pike, Yukihiko Sugawara, and Oron Catts and Ionat Zurr/SymbioticA. Features international research projects undertaken at the Bartlett School of Architecture, UCL, the Royal College of Art in London, the University of Western Australia and the Nagaoka Institute of Design in Japan.

Certains sont l’œuvre d’architectes célèbres comme Renzo Piano, Jean Nouvel, Foster + Partners, l’OMA, Herzog & de Meuron, Frank Gehry, d’autres ont des auteurs plus récemment apparus sur la scène internationale, tels Jamie Fobert et Sou Fujimoto. Les projets sont abordés à partir des stratégies de plan mises en œuvre par leur concepteur : plans centrés, plans linéaires, maisons en bandes, plans superposés, plans orthogonaux avec cour, plans décentrés avec cour, intégrations urbaines et, enfin, greffes et extensions. Ces typologies, issues le plus souvent d’une longue tradition architecturale, se trouvent aujourd’hui réinterprétées pour donner naissance à des projets véritablement contemporains. Pour chacun des bâtiments, le parti, le fonctionnement et les principaux procédés architecturaux sont décrits. Les plans de niveau, les élévations et les coupes ont été redessinés spécialement pour ce livre à partir des sources les plus à jour. La qualité et la multitude de ces dessins techniques – tous repris dans le CD joint – permettent une compréhension détaillée de l’ensemble des réalisations.

Summary:
Young architects practicing today are working with diversified tools as a result of technological advances in building methodologies, expanded communication networks, and cross-fertilization from other disciplines and industries. Competition entrants were asked to consider whether this increased the potential for architectural ideas to resonate with issues and concerns outside of their discipline. The competition winners—Gage/Clemenceau Architects, PellOverton Architecture R + D, Easton + Combs, Xu Tiantian, Project Open, and RVTR—each incorporated variations of the "resonance" to frame their portfolios and demonstrate the necessity for architecture to look outside its disciplinary boundaries for solutions to the global challenges facing the world today.

Summary:
"The architectural project" considers the practice of architectural design as it has developed during the last two centuries. In this challenging interpretation of design education and its effect on design process and products, Argentinean scholar Alfonso Corona-Martínez emphasizes the distinction between an architectural project, created in the architect's mind and materialized as a set of drawings on paper, and the realized three-dimensional building. Corona-Martínez demonstrates how representation plays a substantial role in determining both the notion and the character of architecture, and he traces this relationship from the Renaissance into the Modern era, giving detailed considerations of Functionalism and Typology. His argument clarifies the continuity in the practice of design method through the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, a continuity that has been obscured by the emphasis on changing goals instead of design procedures.

This book documents the five short-listed buildings by VMX Architecten, NL Architects, Korteknie Stuhlmacher Architecten, MVRDV and René van Zuuk Architekten and analyses the current position held by young Dutch architects. Are they following in the footsteps of their forebears or blazing a trail of their own? Is there greater leeway in the Netherlands for experiment or can comparable architecture be found elsewhere? And can these five practices be regarded as a barometer for the latest generation of designers? The short-listed projects were presented during the Venice Biennale 2002.

Price:

(available to order)
Summary:
The book reconstructs the story of Serbian modernism as a local history within a major movement and views the buildings designed in Belgrade in the 1920s and 1930s as part of a larger cultural phenomenon. Because so many of the buildings discussed are disintegrating or have been destroyed or altered beyond recognition, the book serves not only as a documentary and critical study but also as a preservation resource. Most of the photographs and plans have never been published outside of Serbia, if at all. In restoring this work to its rightful place in the history of modern architecture, the book also sheds new light on a number of other stories. These include the influence of Le Corbusier and of the Yugoslav avant-garde movement Zenitism and the impact of international modern movements on the theoretical underpinnings of Serbian modernism. One of the subplots follows the story of the Group of Architects of the Modern Movement in Belgrade and its four founding members, Milan Zlokovic, Branislav Kojic, Jan Dubovy, and Dusan Babic. Through anexamination of their work and that of other modern architects, most notably Dragisa Brasovan and Nikola Dobrovic, the book discusses the identity of Serbian modernism as it was established in the period from 1925 to 1940. The book also identifies those buildings that represent the purest examples of Serbian modernism and analyzes the qualities that make them quintessentially local forms while part of the larger modernist movement
