Summary:
In this volume in the "Pamphlet Architecture" series, the authors examine common architectural forms (chairs, doors, and walls) and programs (a cinema, a health club, a skyscraper) in order to dissect and reconfigure them. In the process they create ten new projects that draw their power from an oscillation between the recognizable and the surreal. Cleverly undermining the conventions and norms of contemporary architectural design, the authors pose a direct challenge to the seemingly endless search for new styles, arguing instead that the greatest potential for architecture in the twenty-first century rests on an imaginative examination of what we take for granted. Designed by the authors, "Situation Normal..." weaves together text, photographs, and drawings. An introductory essay establishes the theoretical and historical position of the book.

Summary:
This book is a reissue in a single clothbound edition of the first ten issues of Pamphlet Architecture, most of which have long been out of print. The Pamphlet Architecture series was founded in 1978 by architects Steven Holl and William Stout as a venue for publishing the thoughts and works of a younger generation of architects. Each issue was written, illustrated, and designed by a single architect, which gives each its unique character. Architects include Steven Holl, Lars Lerup, Mark Mack, Lebbeus Woods, Zaha Hadid, Livio Dimitriu, and Alberto Sartoris.

Summary:
"Comme la conjonction du sous-titre de cet essai l'indique, l'idée est de poser et d'explorer une relation entre certaines formes d'architecture et les expériences totalitaires de notre siècle. C'est marquer d'emblée une distance à l'égard des stratégies de dissociation ou de disjonction entre deux ordres de phénomènes." Miguel Abensour
