Summary:
Philadelphia architect Louis I. Kahn (1901–1974) was one of the most influential American architects of the twentieth century. His work, widely recognized as a link between modern and classical traditions, is distinguished by its simple yet monumental design. In this book, Thomas Leslie shows that Kahn was also an extraordinarily gifted technologist and that his careful presentation of engineering principles set the stage for the high-tech movement in Europe and America. The examination of four major buildings—the Yale Art Gallery, the Richards Medical Laboratories, the Salk Institute, and the Kimbell Art Museum—and several smaller projects by Kahn reveals this hidden theme : an expressive integration of construction, structure, and services into buildings that dramatically highlight the processes involved in their making and function. Previously unpublished drawings, construction photographs, and sketches complement new diagrams that illustrate the profound technical poetry within Kahn's buildings.

Summary:
Pritzker prize winners Herzog & de Meuron and Swiss artist Rémy Zaugg join forces to create a striking yet functional building. From 1996-2000, architects Herzog & de Meuron built a new research centre together with a library, auditorium and cafeteria for the pharmaceutical company Roche in Basel. Situated on the outskirts of the town on the edge of the industrial area, the building was to include a closed section for laboratories yet should also be publicly accessible: the ideal starting point for an interdisciplinary solution. Artist Rémy Zaugg worked together with the architects developing the colours used. He created a dramatic blue wall which separates public and closed areas. This publication documents the entire project from its genesis to the completed construction using texts, sketches, plans, and photographs. More than a mere monograph, this book provides a glimpse into the creative collaboration occuring between architects and artists.
