Summary:
This building constitutes the first material expression of Kazuyo Sejima's studies on metropolitan housing, studies which proceed from the idea that not all subsidized housing is the same. Starting from a standard public apartment program, the confrontation between a strictly modulated structure and a random disposition of the different rooms, or between the length of the building and the reduction of its built depth, also elicits a confrontation between habitable space and the surrounding landscape, and between the individual and the family unit.

Summary:
The Quarter at the “European Embankment” was an invited competition for the development of one of the most important development areas in central St. Petersburg, with the result being decided in March 2009. The 9.9 Hectare land, centrally located in the „Naberezhnaya Ewropy“ - „Europaufer“ industrial wasteland, lies on the small arm of the Neva River. Opposite the hermitage, stock exchange and directly downstream from the Peter-and-Paul fortress, the historical centre of the former Zarenstadt, the planned development is situated in a very prominent neighbourhood amongst almost all of the city’s landmarks. The renewal of the European-oriented city development and the adoption of typically local characteristics in the brief, ensured acceptance by the St Petersburg residents who recently demonstrated their concern for the city’s history by protesting plans for a high-rise in the world heritage area.

Summary:
Fondateurs pince-sans-rire d'une agence au nom très administratif d'Allgemeine Entwurfsanstalt (Institut de conception générale), Trix et Robert Haussmann déteignent à peine dans le paysage post-dadaïstes zurichois. Formés aux arts appliqués, côtoyant dès les années cinquante certains des maîtres helvétiques du modernisme, on les retrouve pourtant, vingt ans plus tard, auprès des tenants italiens d'un certain postmodernisme ! Adepte d'un éclectisme stylistique expérimenté sur leurs Lehrstücke – pièces didactiques à la croisée de l'architecture, du mobilier et du modèle réduit – et auteur d'un bref « manifeste » pour un Manierismo critico, le couple alterne avec humour les registres et références culturels de ces deux bassins linguistiques...

À mi-chemin de Lausanne (où il a grandi) et de New York (où il exerce), la France accueille d'autres réalisations : des écoles au Fresnoy et à Marne-la-Vallée, des Zénith à Rouen et Limoges ou deux parcs à Cenon et Alésia. Compatriote et ancien chef de projet pour le concours de La Villette, Luca Merlini nous offre un insulaire poétique et personnel, d'îles visibles et de villes invisibles, permettant de nous retrouver dans cet archipel... ou de nous y perdre ! Luca Merlini enseigne à l'école d'architecture de Paris-Malaquais, notamment au sein du Laboratoire Infrastructure, Architecture, Territoire (LIAT).

Peu après la fondation de la Brasilia progressiste rêvée par le président Kubitschek, le Brésil allait connaître vingt ans de dictature militaire (1964-1985). Car l'activisme du Che et de Castro, la destitution du général Batista (1959), l'échec du débarquement dans la Baie des Cochons (1961), la crise des missiles cubains (1962) ou l'assassinat de Kennedy (1963) mettent en alerte la Maison Blanche. En Amérique du Sud, quelques dictateurs sont parachutés. Pourtant, cinquante ans plus tard, le Brésil ne parvient toujours pas à faire le deuil de ce que Carlos Marighella n'eut de cesse de vouloir combattre entre Rio, São Paulo et Belo Horizonte. Assassiné six mois après sa rédaction, son Mini-manuel (1969) en constitue un leg inattendu.
