Summary:
Rael's engaging narrative addresses the misconceptions associated with earth architecture. Many assume that it’s only used for housing in poor rural areas – but there are examples of airports, embassies, hospitals, museums, and factories that are made of earth. It’s also assumed that earth is a fragile, ephemeral material, while in reality some of the oldest extant(...)

Many assume that it’s only used for housing in poor rural areas – but there are examples of airports, embassies, hospitals, museums, and factories that are made of earth. It’s also assumed that earth is a fragile, ephemeral material, while in reality some of the oldest extant buildings on the planet are made of earth. Rael also touches on many topics that pervade both architecture and popular media today, such as the ecological benefits and the politics of building with earth, particularly in developing nations where earth buildings are often thought of as pre-modern or backward. With engaging discussion and more than 300 images, Earth Architecture showcases the beauty and simplicity of one of humankind’s most evolved and sophisticated building technologies.

Summary:
L’architecture travaille la matière afin de la rendre expressive. Elle se heurte ce faisant à son obstination muette qu’elle tente de dépasser. Partant de ce constat, ce livre propose de l’interpréter à la lumière de la notion de matérialité envisagée comme le rapport que nous entretenons avec les phénomènes sensibles, les matériaux et les objets.

Summary:
L’architecture travaille la matière afin de la rendre expressive. Elle se heurte ce faisant à son obstination muette qu’elle tente de dépasser. Partant de ce constat, ce livre propose de l’interpréter à la lumière de la notion de matérialité envisagée comme le rapport que nous entretenons avec les phénomènes sensibles, les matériaux et les objets. Notre subjectivité d’êtres humains se constitue pour partie au travers de cette rencontre avec toutes ces « choses » qui tombent immédiatement sous le sens. Par leur intermédiaire, l’architecture contribue à la création d’un monde destiné spécifiquement aux hommes. L’interprétation de la matérialité a considérablement évolué depuis Vitruve. Sa transformation permet de lire différemment l’histoire de l’architecture et de mieux comprendre certains enjeux actuels, tels ceux qui s’attachent à la révolution numérique.

Auteur de Architecture de verre considéré comme un « manifeste » expressionniste (publié en 1914 chez Der Sturm Verlag), cet exote touche-à-tout est aussi un homme de son temps, fort d'une éducation éclectique et d'une culture loufoque. À travers l'amitié de Bruno Taut (1880-1938) et sous le regard postmortem de Walter Benjamin (1892-1940), son art verrier le conduira dans le maelström kaléidoscopique du déclin du Jugendstil puis de l'essor du Werkbund – et ce jusqu'à l'orée du premier conflit mondial.

Summary:
Architecture depends — on what? On people, time, politics, ethics, mess: the real world. Architecture, Jeremy Till argues, cannot help itself; it is dependent for its very existence on things outside itself. Despite the claims of autonomy, purity, and control that architects like to make about their practice, architecture is buffeted by uncertainty and contingency. (...)

Architecture, Jeremy Till argues, cannot help itself; it is dependent for its very existence on things outside itself. Despite the claims of autonomy, purity, and control that architects like to make about their practice, architecture is buffeted by uncertainty and contingency. Jeremy Till offers a proposal for rescuing architects from themselves : a way to bridge the gap between what architecture actually is and what architects want it to be. Mixing anecdote, design, social theory, and personal experience, Till's writing is always accessible, moving freely between high and low registers, much like his suggestions for architecture itself.

Summary:
Vittorio Gregotti's Inside Architecture is his first major work to be translated into English, examining theories of modernism and tradition and considering the architect's practice and cultural issues involved in creating models and working with ideas and buildings. Quite scholarly, but worth the effort for any studying architectural development.
