Summary:
Craig Ellwood was one of the finest California architects of the postwar era. By the time he was thirty he had already contributed three of the seminal Case Study Houses and received the São Paulo Award for his Courtyard Apartments. Subsequently influenced by Mies, he went on to design a lengthy series of stark minimalist structures, peaking with the Pasadena Art Center. With the support of John Entenza, editor of the influential magazine Arts & Architecture, Ellwood was, until the late 1960s, widely considered to be one of the most innovative American architects of the period. This book documents all the Ellwood buildings that remain on the records, a total of some ninety structures. Its 600 illustrations include comprehensive archival photography (including Ellwood’s own pictures and others by Julius Shulman), original drawings, and, for those buildings that remain in good condition, recent images. Due to the loss of most of the original drawings, 80 floor plans have been redrawn for this publication, making this book as close a record of Ellwood’s complete works as is possible today.

Designing for diversity : gender, race. and ethnicity in the architectural profession

Summary:
Providing hard data for trends that many perceive only vaguely and some deny altogether, "Designing for diversity" reveals a profession rife with gender and racial discrimination and examines the aspects of architectural practice that hinder or support the full participation of women and persons of color. Drawing on interviews and surveys of hundreds of architects, Kathryn H. Anthony outlines some of the forms of discrimination that recur in architecture, such as being confined to certain kinds of positions, typically interior design for women, government work for African Americans, and computer-aided design for Asian-American architects. Anthony discusses the profession's attitude toward flexible schedules and part-time contracts and identifies strategies that have helped underrepresented individuals advance in the profession. Given the traditional mismatch between diverse consumers and predominantly white male producers of the built environment, plus the shifting population balance toward communities of color, Anthony contends that the architectural profession staves off true diversity at its own peril. Through her book, practicing architects, managers of firms, and educators will learn how to create conditions more welcoming to a diversity of users as well as designers of the built environment.

Summary:
"Prenant appui sur les politiques institutionnelles, l'auteur montre comment le musée virtuel résulte en fait d'une interprétation du support numérique qui en hypostasie la portée spectaculaire au lieu d'en favoriser l'appréhension documentaire. Le musée virtuel réaliserait ainsi la parfaite concrétisation des objectifs économiques et éducatifs du musée, en parfaite résonnance avec le régime d'industrialisation culturelle qui règle la fréquentation du patrimoine. Mais au-delà, c'est bien du devenir de l'institution muséale dont il est question. Plutôt que de prédire la disparition de l'institution au profit de son avatar virtuel, on choisit d'ancrer ici l'interrogation dans l'histoire des relations qui unissent l'oeuvre d'art et le musée, depuis deux siècles. L'extrême plasticité du musée est mise à jour : ne serait-il pas apte à conserver et légitimer les propositions d'un art numérique aussi délocalisé soit-il? Déjà rôdé à l'absorption d'oeuvres reproductibles, de traces ou d'intentions, le musée d'art contemporain déjoue perpétuellement sa fin prévisible. Cette fois-ci la métamorphose le porte du côté de la médiathèque. Le devenir du musée se nourrit d'une perception essentiellement documentaire du patrimoine artistique. Incorporé aux industries de la mémoire, le musée nous projette désormais dans un passé actualisé et un présent pérenne."

Summary:
Drawing is a form of research, a means to investigate, explore and gain a better understanding of an idea, a condition or a phenomenon. Drawing is a practice of representation, one that inquires, explores materiality, and establishes its own time and dialogue. This book brings together 23 authors who represent 18 critical and reflexive practices of drawing in design. The assembled texts engage drawing aesthetics (spatial, temporal, and material) and drawing ethics (investigating and making sense together) as well as four overarching themes: inquiry, time, dialogue and materiality —in drawing. Taken as a collective conversation on drawing practice, this book offers a shared reflection on the agency of drawing, on its potential to explore issues raised by our built and cultural environment, and on the ability of drawing to support and contribute to design research. It farmes drawing as a research practice, one that is both deeply rooted in its disciplinary context and openly challenging its limits and conventions. "—in drawing" adds to a continuing conversation on design research methods and the ethics and aesthetics of representation. It seeks to further establish the significance of drawing as a legitimate mode of inquiry across design disciplines and beyond.
