The Atlas of World Architecture gives a detailed overview of today’s architecture between international trends, regional traditions, functional demands and individual styles. Particular emphasis is placed on presenting high-quality masterpieces so far unknown alongside cutting-edge highlights of contemporary building culture. From the selection of projects of a wide range of typologies a global vision emerges.

Now we have Caramel in book form. 99 projects– buildings, designs, studies, art and actions, castles in the air and hot-air balloons.

In 2010, the international congress ‘Architecture: More for Less’ was held in Pamplona. Its aim was to take stock of the changing mood in architecture, which today faces huge ecological and economic challenges. This publication is a record of the event through the interviews conducted by five prominent critics – Richard Ingersoll, Antón García-Abril, Estrella de Diego, Vicente Verdú and Llàtzer Moix – with the participants, among them Renzo Piano, Anne Lacaton, Carlos Jiménez, Mark Wigley, Slavoj Žižek and Glenn Murcutt, who themselves cover a broad generational and geographic spectrum. Through the lens of architecture, it offers a kaleidoscopic portrait of our time.

Summary:
"Architecture of the real" is a book about both architectural design and photography. Architectural design because it focuses on the work of twelve practices and turns a critical eye on contemporary French production. Photography because it presents atypical images made by photographers who are active in contemporary art, and who propose a new realist view of archtiecture - since the buildings are photographed in their inhabited state and everyday context.

Summary:
L'exposition « (Un)City - (Un)Real State of the (Un)Known », dont l'architecte et curateur belge Cédric Libert est le commissaire, a été produite initialement pour la Biennale du Design d'Istanbul 2012 par Wallonie-Bruxelles Architectures/WBA - l'agence de promotion de l'architecture belge francophone à l'étranger. A l'occasion de sa présentation au Pavillon de l'Arsenal à Paris (4.11-8.12.2013), WBA et les éditions de la Cellule architecture ont réédité le catalogue, augmenté d'un nouveau cahier de photographies de l'exposition par Maxime Delvaux, d'une traduction anglaise et d'un sticker photo reproduisant la maquette de l'exposition. « (Un)City - (Un)Real State of the (Un)Known » place la ville comme sujet de réflexion et de discussion; la ville abordée sous l'angle des multiples réalités qui la constituent, la ville perçue en tant qu'héritage autant que projet en devenir, la ville envisagée par la superposition, l'imbrication et la sédimentation de strates singulières. L'exposition réunit 100 projets d'architecture(s), intégralement repris dans la publication. Dans l'idée d'un récit entre imaginaire et réalité, il s'agit d'une collection de bâtiments et situations urbaines emblématiques de Bruxelles, assemblés sous la forme d'une grande maquette de 4m x 4m. Sous la forme d'un territoire imaginaire, elle rassemble des projets passés, présents et prospectifs emblématiques de la capitale belge : le Palais de justice de Bruxelles (1883), le site du Cinquantenaire (1880), la Maison du Peuple de Victor Horta (1899, démolie), le Pavillon du Bonheur Temporaire (2008, démonté), le Théâtre National (2004), le projet de Jonction Nord-Midi de Luc Deleu (1989, non-réalisé) ou encore le siège Glaverbel à la Chaussée de la Hulpe (1967). Par la reconfiguration autrement de tous ces projets sur la maquette et dans le livre, il s'agit d'une part, d'être attentif au vide entre les architectures construites - l'espace entre les volumes agencés - parce qu'il révèle l'existence de rapports inédits entre les éléments ; et d'autre part, d'explorer l'idée que chacun construit son expérience personnelle de la ville - une cartographie sensible, propre et unique, voire une mythologie intime. En bref, (Un)City se profile comme un guide de l'architecture à Bruxelles, alternatif et hors normes.

Summary:
Since Osaka World Expo ’70 highlighted contemporary forms, Japan has been a key player in global architecture. Tadao Ando's geometry put Japanese building on the map, bridging East and West. After his concrete buildings, figures like Kengo Kuma, Shigeru Ban, and Kazuyo Sejima pioneered a more sustainable approach. Younger generations have taken new directions, in harmony with nature, traditional building, and an endless search for forms. Presenting the latest in Japanese building, this book links this unique creativity to Japan's high population density, modern economy, long history, and continual disasters in the form of earthquakes. Accepting ambiguity, constant change, and catastrophe is a key to understanding how Japanese architecture differs from that of Europe or America.
