Summary:
It is only through committed confrontation in built and social contexts that locality-specific and therefore identity-creating buildings can be designed. The objective of this book - developed by internationally renowned architect Dietmar Eberle at the ETH Zurich is to document the complexity of the design process. With essays from various authors, this second edition explores the complexity of the individual components of design. In corresponding exercise sections a clearly defined and structured methodology for the design process is formulated - a methodology that can be used for teaching as well as in practice.

Summary:
In Cubed, Nikil Saval chronicles the evolution of the office in a fascinating, often funny, and sometimes disturbing anatomy of the white-collar world and how it came to be the way it is. Drawing on the history of architecture and business, as well as a host of pop culture artifacts—from Mad Men to Dilbert (and, yes, The Office)—and ranging in time from the earliest clerical houses to the surprisingly utopian origins of the cubicle to the funhouse campuses of Silicon Valley, Cubed is an all-encompassing investigation into the way we work, why we do it the way we do (and often don’t like it), and how we might do better.

Summary:
Contemporary discomfort with romanticism and Utopia arguably obstructs the shift of Lefebvre’s thinking from being objects of theoretical interest into positions of actually influencing practices. Attempting to understand and act upon architecture and the city with Lefebvre but without Utopia and romanticism risks muting the impact of his ideas. Although Utopia may seem(...)

Summary:
Contemporary discomfort with romanticism and Utopia arguably obstructs the shift of Lefebvre’s thinking from being objects of theoretical interest into positions of actually influencing practices. Attempting to understand and act upon architecture and the city with Lefebvre but without Utopia and romanticism risks muting the impact of his ideas. Although Utopia may seem to have no place in the present, Lefebvre reveals this as little more than a self-serving affirmation that ‘there is no alternative’ to social and political detachment. Demanding the impossible may end in failure but as Lefebvre shows us, doing so is the first step towards other possibilities. To think with Lefebvre is to think about Utopia, doing so makes contact with what is most enduring about his project for the city and its inhabitants, and with what is most radical about it as well. "Lefebvre for architects" offers a concise account of the relevance of Henri Lefebvre’s writing for the theory and practice of architecture, planning and urban design. This book is accessible for students and practitioners who wish to fully engage with the design possibilities offered by Lefebvre’s philosophy.

Ils y livrent leurs réflexions sur l'histoire de l'architecture depuis la Renaissance et le baroque et, concernant les XIXe et XXe siècles, évoquent aussi bien l'Ecole des beaux-arts que Frank Furness, Sir Edwin Lutyens, Alvar Aalto ou l'influence de la pop culture américaine sur l'architecture.
