Summary:
This book explores new architectural possibilities by reconsidering architecture (environment) on the scale of dogs, and new forms of communication between humans and dogs. Thirteen world-leading architects and designers have participated in this project, lead by Kenya Hara for more than 10 years. The book contains, in addition to the explanation of each work, the production process, drawings that can be actually used to build, and DIY instructions. It includes a dialogue between Kenya Hara, Julia Fang and Sou Fujimoto (one of the participating writers) as well as the secret story behind Fujimoto's work "NO DOG, NO LIFE!”. This book can be enjoyed by both dog lovers and architecture lovers serves as an opportunity to reconsider the relationship between dogs and humans, as well as the environment of humans themselves.

Summary:
The purpose of investigating the overlaps between architecture and biology is neither to draw borders or make further distinctions nor to declare architecture alive, but to clarify what is currently happening in the blurred fields, and to investigate the emerging discipline of biomimetics in architecture.

Summary:
The purpose of investigating the overlaps between architecture and biology is neither to draw borders or make further distinctions nor to declare architecture alive, but to clarify what is currently happening in the blurred fields, and to investigate the emerging discipline of biomimetics in architecture. An overview of the present state of research in the relatively young scientific field of biomimetics shows the potential of the approach. The new discipline aims at innovation by making use of the subtle systems and solutions in nature having evolved within millions of years. Approaches that have been taken to transfer nature's principles to architecture have provided successful developments. The new approach presented in this book transfers the abstract concept of life onto built environment. Strategic search for life's criteria in architecture delivers a new view of architectural achievements and makes the innovative potential visible.

Summary:
L’histoire de l’architecture ne cesse de conjuguer deux regards : celui, panoramique, portant sur les ensembles urbains, révélant les politiques sociales ou techniques, et celui sur les édifices et leurs intérieurs, vus en gros plan, qui reflète les idéaux et l’engagement de leurs auteurs et de leurs habitants. Faisant dialoguer théoriciens, philosophes et écrivains avec(...)

Summary:
L’histoire de l’architecture ne cesse de conjuguer deux regards : celui, panoramique, portant sur les ensembles urbains, révélant les politiques sociales ou techniques, et celui sur les édifices et leurs intérieurs, vus en gros plan, qui reflète les idéaux et l’engagement de leurs auteurs et de leurs habitants. Faisant dialoguer théoriciens, philosophes et écrivains avec les architectes du xxe siècle (Mies van der Rohe, Wright ou Le Corbusier), Jean-Louis Cohen suggère une approche renouvelée, ancrée dans l’histoire culturelle et dans l’humain, de l’architecture comme questionnement et comme pratique.

Summary:
The exhibition 'Architectures without Place (1968-2008)' presents a series of works that either were never built or no longer exist : a vast field which ranges from theoretical speculations, visionary prefigurings and ideas competitions to modified projects, ephemeral installations and botched buildings. This variegated realm of the unbuilt (or of the now non-existent) allows us to analyse the conceptual heritage of a long period of Catalonian cultural history; in other words, it lets us dissect forty years of architecture produced locally, highlighting the prevailing ideas at each step of the way. This is a heterogeneous field of project design in which converge other disciplines fuelled by a powerful desire to articulate and transform space : comics, theatre, film, ephemeral installations and the visual arts in general.
