Summary:
Aldo Rossi (1931-97) is a key figure in 20th-century architecture. Discarding utopian pretences, his work claimed the autonomy of architecture with formal restraint, and remains highly influential both in theory and practice until the present day. In this new book, Diogo Seixas Lopes looks at Rossi's work through the lens of a term often used to describe the great architect's work: melancholy. While the influence of melancholy on literature and visual arts has been debated extensively, its presence in architecture has been largely overlooked. By exploring Rossi's entire career, Lopes traces out the oscillation between enthusiasm and disenchantment that marks Rossi's oeuvre.

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:
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:
John Ronan is a leading figure of a new generation of architects that are not only steeped in the grounded, rigorous, and self-critical Chicago tradition, but are also focused on design innovation. Ronan's decade-old practice has garnered critical praise and awards in recognition of its subtle integration of sustainable technology, spatial composition, and material detail. His beautifully simple spaces convey a recurring theme of adaptability and flexibility across multiple functions that, when activated by a specific use, do not deter from a holistic architectural intent. This publication features twelve projects ranging in scale from private residences and adaptive renovations to large public buildings, as well as a foreword by Toshiko Mori,an essay by Chicago-based architect Brad Lynch, and a Q with John Ronan conducted by Robert McAnulty.
