Summary:
L'architecture flexible s'adapte aux nouveaux usages, répond au changement plutôt que de le rejeter, est mobile plutôt que statique. C'est un concept innovant, interdisciplinaire et multifonctionnel qui, par conséquent, se situe au cœur des questions de création contemporaine. Analyser comment elle est conçue, dessinée, faite et utilisée nous permet de comprendre sa capacité à résoudre les problèmes actuels et futurs, liés aux évolutions techniques, sociales et économiques. Flexible : une architecture pour répondre au changement explore dans son ensemble ce genre architectural établissant son arrière-plan historique, son potentiel dans le cadre de différents environnements domestiques ou urbains, ainsi que la conception, l'esthétique et la réalisation d'exemples contemporains significatifs. Traversant les frontières entre architecture, design de produits et architecture d'intérieur, cet ouvrage est le premier à traiter la totalité de ce champ de plus en plus dynamique et vital de la pratique architecturale.

Summary:
The fine line between art and architecture is rapidly becoming harder to perceive. With the aid of sophisticated computer programs, today's most innovative architects are working on designs so conceptual they could not be realized in the physical world. Nevertheless, these sorts of forward-thinking projects are an important influence on the architectural climate. At the dawn of the 21st century, architecture is entering a paradigm shift; no longer can it be completely distinguished from art. Be they built from bytes or bricks, the projects in this book represent the imagination of the planet's most talented and creative architects.

Autrian architects play a significant role in today's world-wide development of a sculptural form of expression. This phenomenon has its roots in similar streams in the past, which belong to a rich cultural heritage from centuries gone by.

Summary:
Autrian architects play a significant role in today's world-wide development of a sculptural form of expression. This phenomenon has its roots in similar streams in the past, which belong to a rich cultural heritage from centuries gone by. The short historical background, stating with the comment about the Gothic Stephan' Cathedral in Vienna, acts as an introduction to the subject, followed by examples of the spatial splendour of the Baroque, and a glimpse on the mouvement of Modernism to the immediate examples of «sculptural architecture» from Austria's past. The main comprehensive part is dedicated to examples of contemporary architecture. Completed projects of buildings and visions of over 50 architects and their teams are on display through media of photos, plans and models. Text in English and Chinese.

Summary:
This two-volume catalogue of the "10th International Architecture Exhibition" presents an anthology of ideas centered around this year's theme: the meta-city. The changes in the physical and social structure of today's city have resulted in a new kind of civilian agglomeration that extends beyond the traditional form, concept, and boundaries of the city, causing profound transformations in the composition of its population and working habits. The International Exhibition, curated by Richard Burdett, will focus on the transformations of cities around the world, featuring New York, London, Berlin, Moscow, Tokyo, Shanghai, Mumbai, Mexico City, São Paulo Beirut, Istanbul, Johannesburg, and Lagos. Additionally, the biennale will propound a manifesto for rational development of cities in the 21st century. This book will be the definitive catalogue of what is perhaps the most important architecture exhibition in the world.

Summary:
Architects increasingly operate on a global scene, and just as numerous British architects have proved highly successful at winning projects abroad, so architects from Europe, the United States and the Far East are making their mark in Britain. One thinks, for example, of Daniel Libeskind’s Imperial War Museum and Tadao Ando’s new square and pavilion project, both in Manchester, or of Frank Gehry’s Cancer Care Centre in Dundee. Well-known British practices such as Future Systems, Alsop Architects and Nicholas Grimshaw & Partners also inevitably feature prominently in the international story of the country’s recent architectural renaissance, but so too do newer, smaller practices, including many based outside the capital. This book describes and illustrates over 100 outstanding projects, both large and small, from around Britain – none completed earlier than 2001, and some still under construction or at planning stage. Covering every conceivable building type, from houses, offices and department stores to theatres, heritage sites and museums, this book makes a contribution to the continuing debate about the role of architecture in forging a new environment and underpinning the growth of a healthy society.

Summary:
In every era, Paris has epitomized beauty and innovation in architecture— magnificent Gothic cathedrals, elegant hôtels and châteaux of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, the broad sweep of Haussmann in the 1870s, and most recently the Grands Projets of François Mitterrand.

Vicente Guallart, pioneer of new media, examines the technological, social and cultural changes in our information society for new urban building. Presenting the last 15 years of his work, this book investigates architecture’s ability to construct systems for inhabitable environments in diverse environmental, social, and economic conditions. He crosses boundaries through collaborations in geology, sociology, engineering, economics, software and interface design. The projects follow a "natural" logic, referring to components originating in nature, as well as to environmental systems.
