Summary:
L’Institut de la Vision, ouvert en mars 2008 à côté de l’hôpital des Quinze-Vingts, a été réalisé par l’agence Brunet Saunier, il est l’un des plus grands centres de recherche en Europe consacré aux maladies oculaires. L’origine de sa création fut le constat qu’aucune structure en France ne permettait de répondre efficacement aux besoins des patients, médecins et scientifiques : les différents spécialistes de la vision étaient jusqu’alors dispersés sur le territoire, empêchant l’interaction indispensable à un partage rapide des connaissances. L’ouvrage présentera ce nouveau complexe scientifique constitué d’un centre de recherche, d’un centre d’investigation clinique, d’un centre de référence pour les maladies rares ainsi que le rapport qui unit architecture - science.

Summary:
Based in Budapest, the Architecture Uncomfortable Workshop is an office that, in addition to planning small projects, always looks for ways to experiment. One of their biggest motivations is attempting to understand contemporary vernacular architecture as they continuously pursue situations where comfort meets real human needs. Their first monograph includes a conversation with founders Dénes Emil Ghyczy and Lukács Szederkényi, who began thinking and working together during their university days. The studio’s name refers to the fact that the spaces built by people are brought into being at the cost of significant physical labour, involving both sacrifice and conflict.

Summary:
This volume presents a new collection of Takada’s most recent projects, pushing further his continuing reflections on reconnecting the natural world with the built environment. Featuring breathtaking photography of his buildings and interiors, along with sketches and nature-inspired imagery, the book guides readers through Takada’s global work and innovations. The climate positive residence Sunflower House in Italy has a rotating roof and floors to manage sun exposure and heat gain; the Landmark by Lexus pavilion in Melbourne has 1,000 native Australian plants growing on its facade that granted it a carbon neutral certification; the Palm Frond Retreat at Balmoral Beach in Australia is designed for the inhabitants to use different parts of the house depending on the season and time of day, creating positive impact within homes. Each project illustrates Takada’s study of how the present ecological constrains weigh on the architectural design processes and how the reality of our densely built habitats changes the perception we have of buildings and cities, offering a compelling look at environmentally conscious architecture today and to the future evolution of the practice.

Summary:
« Le Parlement de la recherche » a réuni 22 architectes et chercheurs en architecture internationaux dans un huis clos scénographié de 48 h au couvent Sainte-Marie de La Tourette, retraite plongée dans la brume, hors du temps et des urgences. À l'initiative du Fonds de dotation Quartus pour l'architecture, en partenariat avec le ministère de la Culture et piloté par le duo de commissaires : l'AUC et MBL architectes, le Parlement de la recherche a ainsi offert un temps inédit de réflexion, d'exploration et d'effervescence collective pour interroger les grands enjeux de notre société et questionner ce que peut l'architecture. Cet ouvrage, retranscription intégrale de ces échanges ou presque, offre une masse critique de concepts, d'engagements et de sujets de réflexion qui font état des préoccupations actuelles des architectes. Les communautés, la propriété, la « jungle », la critique nomade, la nostalgie, le projet moderne, la transformation, le logement et, surtout, cette série d'attitudes face aux temps présents sont autant de thèmes à déployer, à explorer pour les temps à venir.

Summary:
The iA, or Interactive Architecture, bookzine series will consist of 12 issues bi-annually, published over a period of six years under the supervision Kas Oosterhuis, director of Hyperbody at the Delft University of Technology and principal of ONL [Oosterhuis Lénárd]. The Interactive Architecture (iA), concept is based on the equal input (listening), process (thinking), and output (talking) of people as well as the built components of architecture. This will be one of the first publications to document in detail this groundbreaking new development in architecture. iA will undoubtedly become the premier archive of this endeavor. The publication program will consist of scientific papers on particular aspects of iA and iA-driven MSc projects, iA-inspired case studies from practice, interviews with a renowned researcher/practitioner, and blogs by Kas Oosterhuis. The inaugural issue features contributions from Cas Aalbers, Henriette Bier, Nimish Biloria, Michael Bitterman, Sven Blokker, Sander Boer, Christian Friedrich, Hans Hubers, Xin Xia, and others.

Summary:
This volume brings the focus back to the sensual aspects of architecture—the subtle and intangible ways it impacts human experience—through the work of six leading architects from around the world. Conversations with each of these architects—Grafton Architects, Kengo Kuma, Li Xiaodong, Francis Kéré, Pezo von Ellrichshausen, and Eduardo Souto de Moura and Álvaro Siza—show the multiplicity of ways in which different approaches to the built environment can affect the way in which we connect with our surroundings. An introduction by Philip Ursprung explores the background to this humanistic approach to design, and preparatory sketches illustrate key buildings by each of the architects.

Summary:
This series provides a survey of the vast body of theoretical work produced by modern and contemporary architects and examines the major projects and themes of international architecture. The written word thus becomes a useful means of studying and analysing planning processes and questions relating to the modern city and urban and spatial design. These publications are not just systematic collections of writings or transcripts of conferences and public statements but are also attempts by the architects themselves to reformulate their oeuvre and to produce new, unpublished work. The texts are accompanied by original illustrations, often produced specifically for these publications, and by critiques and biliograhies of the architects' work.
