Soumis à rude épreuve, les cœurs des villes risquent parfois l’embolie. Dans ce livre, une vingtaine de contributeurs se penchent sur le devenir de ces centres vitaux à régénérer pour qu’ils battent durablement mieux. Publié à l’occasion d’In-Situ 2018, Ve Biennale d’architecture et d’urbanisme de Caen, « Faire battre le cœur des villes » s’inscrit dans une continuité avec « Habiter. Imaginons l’évidence » et « (Re)construire la ville sur mesure », parus respectivement en 2013 et 2016 chez le même éditeur. Composé tel un triptyque, ce livre s’intéresse d’abord à la vie des centres et aux centres des villes ; puis il explore les pistes pour apporter aux villes le souffle vital de la culture ; et il propose enfin d’introduire et d’adapter l’écologie à l’environnement urbain. L’ensemble contient de nombreux exemples. Il est destiné autant à produire chez les lecteurs une prise de conscience qu’à apporter des solutions à la hauteur de l’enjeu : la maîtrise du fait urbain au bénéfice d’une meilleure qualité de vie en ville.

Imaginons l'évidence », paru en 2013 chez le même éditeur. Dans un premier temps, ce livre explore les réinventions de la ville, tandis que l'architecte et urbaniste Christian de Portzamparc s'interroge sur le fait d'être moderne aujourd'hui en se positionnant dans le futur. S'ensuivent des contributions qui ont trait à l'esprit des lieux, les aménités urbaines, les villes reconstruites et les mesures de l'Homme. L'ensemble ouvre des perspectives nouvelles pour faire de la ville un luxe à la mesure de tous.

Summary:
Learning to construct is the objective of the architecture student, who seeks to bring sketches, sophisticated visualizations, material and component choices, and detailed plans and diagrams together in a single grand composition. ''Plans and Images'' offers insight into how architects are trained by examining the teaching and research approach of the Laboratory of Elementary Architecture and Studies of Types EAST (Laboratory EAST), a satellite studio of the EPFL School of Architecture in Lausanne. Going beyond the traditional notion of functionally determined typologies, Laboratory EAST is concerned more broadly with the principles of typology in architecture.

Summary:
Beyond the many elements that make up a building’s appearance, its physical preconditions remain the most important. Buildings are subject to fundamental and immutable laws that impose shapes, patterns, orders, and constraints. "The Bones of Architecture" investigates the cultivation of structures for architecture. Several European architects and engineers present their works and approaches while reflecting on rules, strategies, and methods in structural design. Various design strategies are explored through selected projects by 6A Architects, Rui Furtado, Bruther Architects, Johansen Skovsted Arkitekter, Alejandro Bernabeu, Brandlhuber+, and Ingegneri Pedrazzini Guidotti.

Summary:
We live in challenging times. There is overwhelming evidence that massive change is required in order to survive impending environmental collapse. Yet this fifth volume in the Archifutures series takes the position that the "apocalypse" is not an imminent event, but an insidious process that is already happening. Communities everywhere are facing it on a day-to-day basis. Many are already resisting and adapting. Despite the implied drama of the word "apocalypse", the reality is actually far more mundane: surviving it is not about building bunkers, it is about building resilience - everywhere and in all kinds of ways.

Summary:
With ‘ToolBook’, Diogo Brito authors a practical publication about architectural practice in the everyday life of architects. From a formal perspective, the book is written as if it were a screenplay for a movie, as both the scriptwriter and the architect must be creative within a set of rules, assumptions, conditions, or limitations. Brito, a founding partner of the Portuguese office OODA, looks at projects by Foster + Partners, Steven Holl, Fernando Romero, Bjarke Ingels, Kengo Kuma, and Eduardo Souto de Moura in order to analyse the working processes of architects through critical narration of various ways of being and doing, thereby building a set of useful tools for both students and architects.
