Summary:
Cet ouvrage présente des images inédites qui informent sur les conditions de la conception et de la construction de ce que le Time Magazine a qualifié de plus belle exposition du siècle. Par un heureux concours de circonstances et alors que l’architecture des expositions nationales suisses avait été polarisée jusque-là entre traditionalisme et prouesses technologiques, l’Expo 64 a échappé à l’air de son temps pour déployer une créativité joyeuse. Collectés par les Acm depuis 1994, dessins originaux, plans d’ingénieurs et d’architectes, photographies de maquettes et de terrain permettent de montrer comment cette exposition nationale, dont la gestation se déroule en pleine guerre froide, a réussi à percer.

Summary:
Architectural collections are warehouses of knowledge: they are resources for historical plans and buildings, and they offer insight and ideas for the designs of tomorrow. However, in the age of computer-aided design, the sketches, plans and models that were once available for research and exhibitions are being replaced by bits and bytes on a variety of storage media whose lifetimes have no guaranteed length. The Architekturmuseum at the Technical University in Munich has one of the largest special collections of architecture in Europe. This publication presents its complex history while placing it in the context of other prominent international collections. Selected examples are used to discuss questions about collecting, research and the exhibition of architecture in the future.

Summary:
In a daring act of historical reconstruction, the curator Germano Celant, in dialogue with Thomas Demand and Rem Koolhaas, has recreated Harald Szeemann’s epochal Live in Your Head: When Attitudes Become Form, held at the Bern Kunsthalle in 1969, and installed by Celant at the magnificent Ca’ Corner della Regina in Venice in June–November 2013. Szeemann’s show was a dialogue with the Bern Kunsthalle, and Celant has reprised its spirit by placing the works in dialogue with the Ca’ Corner della Regina--a very different building, in its Venetian grandeur, to the Kunsthalle.

The international touring exhibition "Die gute Form" was conceived by MAx Bill on behalf of the Swiss Werkbund SWB and was shown for the first time in 1949 at the Basel Mustermesse trade fair.

The show caused some upset in Switzerland and fueled heated debates abroad. But it also exerted a wide-reaching influence-for example, on the way in which consumer goods were perceived.
