Summary:
Jean Tschumi: Architecture at Full Scale is the first book on the Swiss architect who, after his training at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, entered the polemical field of modernity and its technological expression. Interrupted by his tragic death in 1962 at the age of 57, Tschumi’s work is rich in theoretical questions. What is the meaning of design at full scale, not just for carpets, tables, or armchairs? Why does the architect study his compositions at the minimal scale of a "postage stamp"? Is furniture the starting point of architecture? Why should the project be studied through the systematical use of variants? Does the future of the city lie in the planning of deep underground systems?

Summary:
Créés en 1959, les Villages Vacances Familles, pionniers en France du tourisme social, proposent aux familles un nouveau type d’hébergement de villégiature : le village de vacances en location avec services. Ils bénéficient de l’essor du tourisme de masse des Trente Glorieuses et leur succès ne se fait pas attendre. C’est ainsi qu’en trente ans, près de cent cinquante VVF sont construits partout en France. Cet ouvrage propose pour la première fois un regard sur ces constructions originales. Après un essai sur cette aventure sociale et architecturale, ce deuxième « Carnet d’architecture » examinera plus en détail les réalisations de six architectes ou agences, dont l’Atelier d’urbanisme et d’architecture (AUA), André Gomis ou encore Maurice Novarina. Un répertoire des 135 villages créés entre 1959 et 1989 complètera ce panorama.

Summary:
Crossover is the very first publication by the Delft School of Design (DSD), a laboratory for research and experimentation in architecture, urbanism and technologies of construction at the TU Delft. Its investigations cover a wide variety of subjects, from theoretical considerations and historical studies to urban and architectural practices and contemporary structural design. What they all have in common is the emerging condition of architectural and urban knowledge in both the academic context and professional practice. Since its inception in 2003, the DSD has developed a strategy or field of inquiry for mapping new means of approaching the complexity of the contemporary urban and architectural conditions. Traditional approaches are seen to be increasingly inadequate in the face of this complexity. This is in part due to the nature of the information age. Yet, on the other hand, new technologies offer us the challenge and the potential to represent our world in unprecedenteded ways.

Summary:
Ce livre rassemble une sélection d'expérimentations architecturales réparties sur plusieurs continents. Les réalisations d' André Ravéreau s'appuient sur les gestes sédentaires ancestraux des bâtisseurs de la vallée du M'Zab en Algérie. Marcel Kalberer invente des structures vivantes en branches de saules. Au nord du Cameroun, l'association Patrimoine sans frontières a aidé la communauté musgum à construire un ensemble de cases obus. En Colombie, Simdn Vélez réinterprète l'art de construire en bambou des Indiens. L'Irano-américain Nader Khalili invente l'igloo de terre pour parer au plus pressé lors de catastrophes sismiques ou de conflits qui entraînent des déplacements de populations. Olivier Delarozière et Ursula Gleeson proposent une démarche à la fois architecturale, constructive et artistique sur le thème de l'empilement. Benjamin Jacquemet et Carolyn Wittendal ont affiné leur réflexion sur l'architecture en étudiant l'architecture verte américaine. Le vent comme matériau architectural est l'objet des recherches de Shiva Tolouie et Hervé Richard qui explorent, depuis 2001, les anciennes tours des vents de la ville de Yazd en Iran.

Summary:
A virtual tour of recent Native building projects in Canada and the western and midwestern United States, New Architecture on Indigenous Lands conducts readers through cultural centers and schools, clinics and housing, and even a sugar camp, all while showing how tribal identity is manifested in various distinctive ways. Focusing on such sites as the Tribal Council Chambers of the Pojoaque Pueblo; the Zuni Eagle Sanctuary in New Mexico; the Nk’Mip Desert Cultural Centre in Osoyoos, British Columbia; and the T’lisalagi’lakw Elementary School, Joy Monice Malnar and Frank Vodvarka offer wide-ranging insights into the sensory, symbolic, cultural, and environmental contexts of this new architecture.
