Summary:
An exciting report on the creative and imaginative possibilities which CAAD affords.

Author, Maia Engeli, Assistant Professor for CAAD and architecture at the ETH, Zürich, has been active in this field for many years. Coming from the first generation of computer users, she has worked at Harvard University and the Media Lab at MIT and is at the forefront of research in this area.

Summary:
D'un échange de maître à élève, la correspondance devient vite celle de deux amis unis par leur passion commune de l'architecture et de l'urbanisme. Au sein des Ciam, ils développent leur réflexion théorique sur la ville à l'origine de La Charte d'Athènes et de leurs projets communs pour Barcelone et Bogota. Après la guerre, Sert est un soutien influent dans les combats pour les projets de l'O.N.U. et de l'Unesco. Président des Ciam puis doyen de la faculté d'architecture de Harvard, il réussira à convaincre Le Corbusier d'accepter le Carpenter Center, son seul projet nord-américain, et se chargera de l'exécution avec un immense dévouement. Cette correspondance est aussi un beau témoignage d'une longue amitié.

Summary:
Bauhaus Dream-house brings critical social theory to bear on the ideas of architectural and design education at the Bauhaus - tracing the spread and influence of these ideas worldwide. Developed in post WW1 Germany, the principles of Bauhaus architecture and design were transferred by some of its leading figures to architecture schools at Harvard, Chicago and the IIT. Yet in the postwar era, they also became increasingly influential in architecture schools in Western and Central Europe, Japan, South America, Africa and the Middle East. This book provides a critical examination of the profound social, cultural and spatial consequences of these developments and the erasure of class, race, gender and culture which the ‘modernisation’ of design embodied.

Summary:
In Cornelia Hahn Oberlander: Making the Modern Landscape, Susan Herrington draws upon archival research, site analyses, and numerous interviews with Oberlander and her collaborators to offer a biography of this adventurous and influential landscape architect. Born in 1921, Oberlander fled Nazi Germany at the age of eighteen with her family, going on to become one of the few women to graduate from Harvard University’s Graduate School of Design in the late 1940s. For six decades she has practiced socially responsible and ecologically sensitive planning for public landscapes. Herrington places Oberlander within a larger social and aesthetic context, chronicling both her personal and professional trajectory and her work in New York, Philadelphia, Vancouver, Seattle, Berlin, Toronto, and Montreal.

Face à d'importantes difficultés, l'établissement n'aura alors de cesse, aux lendemains de Pearl Harbor, d'offrir à György Kepes l'opportunité de former des « camoufleurs industriels »...

Summary:
Architect Angela Pang brings together design, research, and teaching. Her Rational Form Making approach explores a fundamental question: How can we build more with less? Operating from her studio, PangArchitect, in Hong Kong and Boston, and as an Assistant Professor at the Harvard Graduate School of Design, she combines precise analysis, digital methods, and experimental modeling to drive architectural innovations. In search of objectivity in form-making, Pang’s approach merges creative freedom with explorations between natural forces and material-conscious efficiency to discover a new design process. At the heart of the exhibition at Aedes is a striking experimental prototype—a 3D-printed pavilion at the scale of 1:2.5 of an ongoing project for a public space in Hong Kong.

Summary:
Compiled as a field guide, travelogue, essay collection, and weather report, ''Alien Daughters Walk into the Sun'' traces Jackie Wang's trajectory from hard femme to Harvard, from dumpster dives and highway bike rides to dropping out of an MFA program, becoming a National Book Award finalist, and writing her trenchant book ''Carceral Capitalism''. ''Alien Daughters'' charts the dream-seeking misadventures of an “odd girl” from Florida who emerged from punk houses and early Tumblr to become the powerful writer she is today. Anarchic and beautifully personal, ''Alien Daughters'' is a strange intellectual autobiography that demonstrates Wang's singular self-education: an early life lived where every day and every written word began like the Tarot's Fool, with a leap of faith.

Summary:
Basé à Paris, Michel Desvigne est un architecte paysagiste connu à l'international. Il a été professeur invité à l'Architectural Association de Londres, à l'Université de Harvard et ailleurs. Les projets Desvignes ont une forte composante stratégique et conceptuelle. Les projets de transport qui soulignent la compétence d'urbanisme et de planification de son architecture de paysage jouent un rôle majeur. Le livre documente dix projets majeurs Desvignes en France, aux USA, en Espagne et au Qatar, pour lesquels il est non seulement responsable de l'architecture du paysage mais aussi de l'ensemble de la gestion du projet. Comment mettre en œuvre des projets aussi complexes? Comment se développe le train de la pensée intellectuelle? Quels problèmes spécifiques rencontrez-vous lors de la mise en œuvre?
