Summary:
When the gates of the 1964–1965 New York World’s Fair swung open on April 24, 1964, the first of more than 51 million lucky visitors entered, ready to witness the cutting edge of worldwide technology and progress. Faced with a disappointing lack of foreign participants due to political contention, the fair instead showcased the best of American industry and science. While multimillion-dollar pavilions predicted colonies on the moon and hotels under the ocean, other forecasts, such as the promises of computer technology, have surpassed even the most optimistic predictions of the fair. The 1964–1965 New York World’s Fair: Creation and Legacy uses rare, previously unpublished photographs to examine the creation of the fair and the legacies left behind for future generations. Bill Cotter and Bill Young, authors of The 1964–1965 New York World’s Fair, they have contributed to numerous other books, magazine articles, and documentaries on the fair. They also host two popular Web sites devoted to the study and appreciation of this once-in-a-lifetime event.

Summary:
Seamlessly interweaving the new with the historic, the renovation by Selldorf Architects preserves The Frick Collection’s Gilded Age grandeur and sense of tranquillity while making more of the museum accessible and adding important new amenities. A museum of memorable rooms and superb Old Master holdings, The Frick Collection, the former home of industrialist Henry Clay Frick, is one of New York City’s most beloved art institutions. Designed by Thomas Hastings of the New York firm of Carrère and Hastings, the original Fifth Avenue mansion was completed in 1914 and served the Frick family until 1931. With John Russell Pope’s expansion of the mansion in 1935, which included the addition of a library (today’s esteemed Frick Art Research Library), the residence was converted into a public museum. The goal of the renovation was to honor the architectural legacy and unique contemplative atmosphere of the Frick while adding new space and critical infrastructure updates. Visitors will enjoy the enhanced functionality of the institution, and its improved climate controls will ensure the preservation of the collection and the house for generations to come.

Summary:
A partir de documents d'archives et d'entretiens, B. Hamzeian rend compte des caractéristiques spécifiques du Centre Pompidou qui, à travers l'union de l'architecture, de l'ingénierie, de l'industrie, de la programmation et de l'informatique, incarne le concept de design total. Il met notamment en lumière les problématiques de l'architecture technomorphe. Au milieu des années 1970, au coeur de paris, prend forme une oeuvre qui cristallise le rêve d'une époque, celui d'unir les compétences de l'architecture, de l'ingénierie, de l'industrie, de l'aéronautique, de la programmation et de l'informatique pour transformer un bâtiment en une machine hautement technologique et interactive. Intrinsèquement mobile et flexible, au service de la foule. Il s'agit du centre Pompidou. À la veille d'une des plus grandes transformations jamais entreprises sur cet ouvrage, et grâce à l'utilisation de documents d'archives et d'entretiens inédits, il est temps de reconstituer la genèse et la mise au point de ses composantes fondamentales : des moules d'acier colossales à la limite des capacités techniques de l'époque, des organes techniques transformés en figures architecturales, une façade tridimensionnelle conçue pour accueillir des écrans pour informer la foule métropolitaine, une piazza ancrée au coeur de paris pour recueillir son flux vital, et un aménagement muséal conçu pour des transformations continues. Retracer l'évolution de ces composants est la clé pour comprendre une approche holistique au projet de la construction qui porte le nom de total design.

Summary:
Cet ouvrage est le catalogue de l’exposition Villa Savoyehantée qui a lieu du 20 novembre au 22 décembre 2004 à la Villa Savoye. Pendant l’hiver 2003, durant un mois, l’architecte Philippe Rahm et seize étudiants de l’atelier de Jean-Luc Vilmouth, artiste et enseignant à l’École nationale supérieure des beaux-arts, vont « hanter la modernité de la Villa Savoye de Le Corbusier, en visiter les dimensions cachées, les zones d’ombres, sa part invisible.Chercher des fantômes dans la transparence du verre, révéler l’occulte dans les surfaces lisses et légères, l’ineffable dans l’architecture blanche et lumineuse d’un siècle moderne déjà passé. Il existe une contemporanéité des fantômes. » Ce catalogue présente les travaux des étudiants, en « dialogue » avec le récit de cette expérience commune. Il raconte également l’histoire de la Villa Savoye de Le Corbusier, manifeste de la modernité architecturale et classée monument historique en 1965, et propose un regard différent sur cette « pure création de l’esprit», comme l’appelait Le Corbusier lui-même.
