Summary:
A hundred miles north of San Francisco on California Coast Highway 1, the Sonoma County coast meets the Pacific Ocean in a magnificent display of nature. Waves crash upon the rocks or wash up on beautiful stretches of sandy beaches. This is the location of The Sea Ranch, an area covering several thousand acres of large, open meadows and forested natural settings interspersed with award-winning architecture. When the area, a sheep ranch well into the last century, was rediscovered for its beauty in the 1960's, it came to be envisioned as a home community that harmonized with the environment. Renowned landscape designer Lawrence Halprin's master plan for The Sea Ranch community accordingly incorporated a set of building guidelines that minimized the visual as well as physical impact upon the landscape. Subsequent buildings by architects such as Joseph Esherick, Charles Moore, William Turnbull, Obie Bowman, Donlyn Lyndon, and others have been recognized worldwide for environmentally sensitive planning and architecture. They sparked a generation of imitators that became part of what is known as "The Sea Ranch style," epitomizing what many people imagine when they think of Northern Californian architecture. This beautiful monograph, lavishly illustrated with over 300 newly commissioned photographs and including maps, plans, detailed descriptions of the houses, and essays by Donald Canty and Lawrence Halprin, presents the definitive record of The Sea Ranch community.

Summary:
In the academic year 2000-2001, Yale professor and New York City based architect Peggy Deamer led two innovative courses: first, a focused seminar on the state of contemporary residential design; second, a creative studio offering house designs that drew on the discoveries of the seminar. This book, the second in a series documenting work at the Yale School of Architecture, combines work from both courses in a thoughtful and provocative study of the state of the house at the turn of the millennium. Deamer introduces the volume with an essay on three issues vital to a discussion of millennial design: newness, uniqueness, and design innovation. Designs of visiting seminar critics -- Steven Holl, Elizabeth Diller and Ricardo Scofidio, William McDonough, LOT/EK, Winy Maas, and Jacques Herzog -- are showcased along with descriptive and analytical texts. Work from the studio course is divided into various themes explored by the students: image, standardization and modularity, networks and diagrams. The hybrid quality of this volume -- designs by practicing architects and students; observation and interpretation -- reflects debates and issues at the heart of early-twenty-first-century architecture.

Summary:
Construire une maison au bord de la mer est un pari très intéressant tant pour l'architecte que pour le client, car c'est une perspective qui répond au besoin fondamental de l'humanité d'être conforme à la nature. Ces conditions naturelles, défis d'architecture exaltants, forment la trame des projets présentés dans ce livre. Le souci de respecter l'environnement naturel d'un milieu aussi spectaculaire que celui-ci a conduit les professionnels à rechercher des solutions architecturales extrêmes élever la construction sur pilotis, élargir les ouvertures au maximum dans les zones à faible ensoleillement ou fermer une maison et l'envelopper sur elle-même pour la protéger de la violence des vents. Néanmoins, il en résulte essentiellement une composition fragmentée qui engendre une multitude de volumes et d'espaces externes, en quête d'une relation idéale avec l'environnement extérieur, sans nuire à l'indépendance des différentes zones qui composent le projet. Pour offrir au lecteur un large éventail de cette architecture exceptionnelle, cet ouvrage réunit une sélection de projets d'architectes renommés du monde entier, où chacun d'entre eux fait apparaître un dialogue unique entre l'architecture et la mer.

Lieu de rencontre de nombreux voyageurs, la région a su les accueillir et les protéger en jalonnant ses routes de maisons fortes et de relais de poste. Exploitant les ressources de son sous-sol comme de sa terre, les constructions correspondent à leur terroir et à leur fonction. Les grands plateaux du nord sont ponctués de solides fermes construites en pierre calcaire tandis qu'en plaine de Saône, les maisons bressanes mêlent les architectures de pans de bois et de pisé. Avant que la vigne n'apporte la prospérité à la région, la métallurgie et les forges étaient une grande ressource des Bourguignons car la pierre et le bois, de même que le minerai, ne manquent pas. Moulins et forges sont donc nombreux. Mais ici, le dénominateur commun, c'est le vin. En Bourgogne, l'âme d'une maison se trouve bine souvent à la cave... Lieu utilitaire, mais aussi lieu de convivialité où l'on affirme haut et fort sa fierté d'être bourguignon.
