The house of stone is the kind of project that happens only rarely : a house built to the highest standards of craftsmanship with the full support of the client, who acted as a patron of architecture in almost a Renaissance sense. This publication documents in full its making. It covers the initial phase of the project, the invited competition between Meili + Peter and Peter Zumthor, and contains a detailed description of the concepts underlying the design.

Summary:
Given an ideal situation to work with, the Zurich architects Marcel Meili and Markus Peter designed and built a new training and meeting center for Swiss Re in Rüschlikon. Backed by an ambitious client and a substantial budget, they developed an expansive park complex overlooking Lake Zurich and the Bodmer mansion, a protected historical monument, into a setting in which architecture and art, landscape and interior space, old and new combine to form a complex whole. The result is not a manifesto of a particular style but the equally perfect and subtle interpretation of a real place and the programmatic vision it inspires. The Art Commission of Swiss Re chose a "strategy of systematic artistic interventions in existing space". The design of all furniture and interiors was entrusted to the hands of renowned artists and architects. Adolf Krischanitz and Hermann Czech designed the furniture and the "Red Bar" in the Gardener's Lodge. Gilbert Bretterbauer supervised the design and selection of textiles. Artist Günther Förg handled the color design for all of the interiors in the old mansion. The old grounds had been preserved almost entirely in their original condition. The existing stands of trees served as a framework for the detailed design of the park complex by landscape architects Kienast Vogt and Partner. With photographs by Margherita Spiluttini

Inauguré en 1913, le théâtre des Champs-Élysés représente un moment important dans l'histoire de l'architecture du XXè siècle. Son programme novateur, sa construction en béton armé et les multiples interactions qui se sont produites lors de l'élaboration du projet entre l'erchitecture et les différents domaines artistiques en ont fait une oeuvre exceptionnelle. La retauration de l'édifice, en 1987, lui a redonné l'éclat qu'il méritait.

Summary:
Architects Nannette Jackowski and Ricardo de Ostos have developed a unique form of experimental architecture that reinvigorates its strength as an agent of political and societal change. Ambiguous Spaces, the newest installment in the Pamphlet Architecture series and a return to Pamphlet’s own progressive roots, features the architectural fictions "The Pregnant Island" and "Nuclear Breeding." These two projects develop alternative urban concepts that address the challenges presented by the specific situations and social dynamics described in controversial locations such as the Brazilian Tucurui dam, the Three Gorges dam in China, and former English nuclear test sites.
