Summary:
For fifteen years, three architects—James Cathcart, Frank Fantauzzi, and Terence van Elslander—from three different cities have held an ongoing collaboration, creating installations and other works of innovation and art about the act of building. Pamphlet Architecture 25: Gravity catalogs a cross section of their many works, from the portable toilets installed in the facade of New York's StoreFront for Art and Architecture to "Big Orbits," a giant solid and a giant void constructed from 4600 shipping palettes. Although strongly conceptual, their work reminds us that a primary function of architecture is to engage the public.

"PA 24 : some among them are killers" explores unmanaged landscapes, territories that the author calls "wildernesses." These emerge from the cracks of mapping the spaces, at a variety of scales, that literally reside in the margins of error of our abilities to measure and calibrate space. From Yosemite National Park to the ubiquitous one-gallon milk jug, architect David(...)

Summary:
"PA 24 : some among them are killers" explores unmanaged landscapes, territories that the author calls "wildernesses." These emerge from the cracks of mapping the spaces, at a variety of scales, that literally reside in the margins of error of our abilities to measure and calibrate space. From Yosemite National Park to the ubiquitous one-gallon milk jug, architect David Ross depicts the relationships between architecture and miscalibration and explores the spatial, tactile, and political ramifications of our reliance on modern devices of precision and overdetermination.

Summary:
"Hyperbodies" are buildings and environments which can continuously change shape and content. The mutations of such buildings depend on the input coming from their user as well as from the surroundings. This interaction between user and building is determined by a data flow which the hyperbody uses and converts into a ”hypersurface” structure, which then alters our(...)

Summary:
"Hyperbodies" are buildings and environments which can continuously change shape and content. The mutations of such buildings depend on the input coming from their user as well as from the surroundings. This interaction between user and building is determined by a data flow which the hyperbody uses and converts into a ”hypersurface” structure, which then alters our perception of space in and around the hyperbody. The architect programs this interaction and can thereby define the specific character of the building. In this book, the author provides a concise overview of this latest digital tool.

Summary:
Institution vieille de plus de cinq siècles, la Bibliothèque nationale de France a vécu ces dernières années une véritable révolution. La décision prise en 1998 par François Mitterrand d'édifier une bibliothèque " ouverte à tous " l'a conduite à élargir ses missions et à ne plus réserver ses collections au seul public de chercheurs. Le site Richelieu, déjà trop à l'étroit, ne pouvait plus répondre à cette demande. Il fallait un bâtiment nouveau. Le site de Tolbiac est choisi, ouvrant un énorme chantier qui bouleverse l'Est de Paris. Rarement construction de bibliothèque aura fait couler autant d'encre. Les polémiques sont nombreuses, le coût et l'ampleur des travaux font peur, les tours de verre étonnent. Mais la construction est menée tambour battant et le déménagement de plus de 10 millions de livres s'effectue dans l'ordre le plus parfait. Aujourd'hui, la BNF après avoir réparti ses extraordinaires collections sur deux grands sites, a trouvé un nouvel équilibre.

Summary:
The city of Graz in Steiermark, Austria, has been chosen as cultural capital of Europe for 2003. On this occasion, a number of significant architectural projects, art installations and events have been planned in the city. This exhibition at the Aedes West gallery in Berlin focuses on two of the major and most radical architectural projects: the new museum of Modern Art, which was the object of an international design competition won by the London architects Peter Cook and Colin Fournier, and the Stadthalle designed by the Graz architect Klaus Kada. The Kunsthaus is currently under construction and will open on the 23rd of September 2003. The Stadthalle opened on the 6th of October 2002. These two projects make an unusual pair in that they are in complete contrast not only in terms of programme and but mostly in terms of their design philosophy: the Kunsthaus is a biomorphic project conceived as a smooth bulbous volume of continuous double curved surfaces, while the Stadthalle is distinguished by a slender roof cantilevered high above the street. The playful aesthetic tension between these two extreme designs, at this interesting and provocative point in history when the architectural envelope is being pushed in many contradictory directions, provides the dominant conceptual and visual theme of the exhibition, which also offers an overview of some of the other key design projects recently completed in the city.

Summary:
Notre enquête se propose de montrer comment les formes de vie nouvelle et les nouvelles créations à base économique et technique que nous devons au siècle dernier entrent dans l'univers d'une fantasmagorie. Ces créations subissent cette "illumination" non pas seulement de manière théorique, par une transposition idéologique, mais bien dans l'immédiateté de la présence sensible. Elles se manifestent en tant que fantasmagories. Quant à la fantasmagorie de la civilisation elle-même, elle a trouvé son champion dans Haussmann, et son expression manifeste dans ses transformation de Paris.
