Summary:
De nombreuses disciplines ont contribué au développement d'une nouvelle forme de pensée apparue récemment qui conteste, critique, cherche à dépasser un rationalisme hérité du XVIIe siècle et jugé par trop simplificateur, inapte à rendre compte de la complexité du réel sur lequel on doit travailler aujourd'hui.

Summary:
De nombreuses disciplines ont contribué au développement d'une nouvelle forme de pensée apparue récemment qui conteste, critique, cherche à dépasser un rationalisme hérité du XVIIe siècle et jugé par trop simplificateur, inapte à rendre compte de la complexité du réel sur lequel on doit travailler aujourd'hui. Qu'en est-il de l'architecture?. Peut-elle rester à l'écart de ce mouvement des idées? La mythique cabane des origines, le temple, le palais, la villa, l'immeuble de rapport, le grand ensemble marquent une évolution, parallèle à celle des sociétés, caractérisée par l'accroissement de la complexité des facteurs intervenant dans la conception. La critique du rationalisme en architecture développée dans la première partie du livre contribue à dépasser toutes les pensées simplificatrices à propos de l'architecture et de la ville. L'architecture ne peut pas se penser aujourd'hui sans la ville, ni la ville sans ses habitants. L'architecture doit donc convoquer à son chevet non seulement la technique et le design, mais également l'urbanisme, la sociologie, la psychologie, l'histoire voire la mythologie, la culture, la démographie, l'économie, l'écologie. La seconde partie (parcourant l'œuvre de Louis Kahn, Luis Barragàn, Henri Gaudin, Vittorio Gregotti, John Hejduk, Peter Eisenman, Bernard Tschumi, Christian de Portzamparc, Renzo Piano) vise à faire prendre conscience de la pertinence et de la puissance des outils conceptuels qui ont été forgés par des penseurs issus de domaines très divers, aussi bien en sciences exactes qu'en sciences humaines, et que l'on peut regrouper sous le label "pensée de la complexité"

Summary:
Like many stylistic terms in architecture, the exact parameters denoted by the word “Brutalism” are difficult to precisely pin down. Brutalism is a style which was particularly prominent during the late 1960s and early 1970s. The emphasis on harsh geometric forms and unadorned rough concrete and brick have resulted in very strong feelings of hate or love for these(...)

Buildings are subject to fundamental and immutable laws that impose shapes, patterns, orders, and constraints. "The Bones of Architecture" investigates the cultivation of structures for architecture. Several European architects and engineers present their works and approaches while reflecting on rules, strategies, and methods in structural design. Various design strategies are explored through selected projects by 6A Architects, Rui Furtado, Bruther Architects, Johansen Skovsted Arkitekter, Alejandro Bernabeu, Brandlhuber+, and Ingegneri Pedrazzini Guidotti.
