Summary:
Since the late 20th century, political regulations, internationalisation, and rapid digitalisation are only a few factors that have significantly transformed the environments within which European institutions of architectural education operate. In adapting and adhering to such changes, schools of architecture strive to develop innovative, didactic, programmatic, or spatial models that are distinguishable. Through eighteen case studies, four of which are presented in detail, this book highlights tendencies in architectural education beyond academia, illustrating the interdependence between the educational model and its spatial disposition, and revealing potential new schools of thought.

Celui qui observe la production architecturale contemporaine ne peut manquer de constater une résurgence de l’archaïque. Que ce soit dans les formes adoptées, les procédés constructifs et les matériaux utilisés ou les processus mis en œuvre, tout se passe comme si derrière l’épuisement des lumières du présent et du progrès technologique se profilait une autre voie,(...)

Summary:
Celui qui observe la production architecturale contemporaine ne peut manquer de constater une résurgence de l’archaïque. Que ce soit dans les formes adoptées, les procédés constructifs et les matériaux utilisés ou les processus mis en œuvre, tout se passe comme si derrière l’épuisement des lumières du présent et du progrès technologique se profilait une autre voie, plongeant dans l’immémorial. Pour autant, cet archaïque contemporain n’est pas un retour nostalgique au passé, mais correspond plutôt à un recentrement sur l’essentiel. Loin d’être simple, cet essentiel est traversé de puissantes et irréductibles tensions. Décrypter cette tendance revient ici à sonder notre culture de l’édifier, à en ausculter les fondements, à y déceler les paradoxes profonds. Autour de six grandes thématiques qui forment les chapitres de cet ouvrage — Installations, Inventions, Archétypes, Corps et affects, Déplacements, Expériences de pensée — ce sont donc six débats qui sont ouverts. Architectes, philosophes, historiens, chercheurs nous aident à mieux comprendre les enjeux d’un moment théorique important de la question architecturale et d’en saisir les possibles.

Summary:
L'univers domestique contemporain suscite depuis quelques années un intérêt grandissant. Des expositions, des magazines et des émissions télévisées rendent compte des dernières innovations en matière d'architecture résidentielle. «Maisons contemporaines 2» dresse un panorama des maisons récentes les plus novatrices construites à travers le monde. Les trente-trois maisons présentées ici ont été réalisées dans quinze pays différents, par des architectes consacrés ou prometteurs parmi lesquels David Adjaye (Londres), Tadao Ando (Japon), Carlos Ferrater (Espagne), Sean Godsell (Australie), Kengo Kuma (Chine), Richard Meler (Etats-Unis), Julie Snow (Canada) ou Werner Sobek (Allemagne). Les maisons sont réparties en trois chapitres thématiques: le premier examine la relation entre architecture et paysage ; le second regroupe des projets répondant à des demandes de clients inhabituelles; le troisième présente des résidences où sont mis en œuvre de nouveaux matériaux et des techniques d'économie d'énergie. Chaque maison est l'illustration d'un regard original sur les modes de vie et l'esthétique actuels : la " petite maison " (Kazuyo Sejima/SAANA, Tokyo) permet ainsi de loger une famille de trois personnes sur une parcelle réduite de 60 m² ; la maison Carter Tucker (Sean Godsell, Australie) et la maison Nenning (Cukrowicz.Nachbaur, Autriche) sont des interprétations modernes de la construction en bois traditionnelle ; la maison Koehler (Julie Snow, Canada) et la maison Weiss (Steven Harris, Mexique) offrent toutes deux un havre de repos dans des sites à la beauté sauvage.

Both climatic and cultural conditions, alongside technological developments, shape the architecture of windows. Due to its mountains, climate, and geographical position at the heart of Europe, Switzerland has generated a wide variety of window forms. Presented here is a collection of windows gathered from field research, with full-page hand drawings portraying each window as part of a complex network of elements. Short texts offer insight into the historical, technological, and socioeconomic conditions of each spatial configuration.

Among the topics discussed are the common and scientific understandings of space and how they can be applied to contemporary architectural practice. Using Zurich as an exemplar of urban planning and development, the new volume combines fact with fiction to broaden the view upon future scenarios.

Each volume brings together three such stories accompanied by conversations with the individual architects. These behind-the-scenes examinations chronicle how an idea is conceived, revealing the diverse approaches and confluences of various fields that go into making a work of architecture. The series takes the form of a visual reader as a way to better conceptualise the works and practices, all equally diverse and equally legitimate. This second volume features BARarchitekten, Francesca Torzo Architetto, and Wolff Architects.

Over a period of three decades, from 1958 to 1988, the New South Wales Government Architect’s Office (GAO) in Australia realised nearly a thousand buildings across the state. This enormous production was the direct result of an ideological choice, one that involved a brutal commitment to building architecture that was merely adequate. In terms of scale and ambition, the GAO’s operation resembles the laying out of the Roman Empire. It built the infrastructure that holds the territory together, and in doing so literally constructed the state while obliterating the pre-existing country. Through numerous examples, this volume meticulously documents the phenomenon.
