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.

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:
Between 1977 and 1987, a sluggish world economy that all but curtailed new building moved the most talented architects into teaching positions. In the academic environment, graphic experimentation proliferated and architects encountered an intellectual scene filled with passionate debates about philosophy, criticism, and social thought. This set the stage for an eruption of "paper architecture" of incomparable beauty and depth. Perfect Acts of Architecture identifies the preeminent achievements of five architects working during that turbulent period: Peter Eisenman, Rem Koolhaas, Daniel Libeskind, Thom Mayne, and Bernard Tschumi. Catalogue of the exhibition at the Wexner Center for the Arts.

Summary:
La globalisation en architecture est généralement perçue comme une force négative conduisant à l'homogénéité et à l'uniformité. Ces dernières années cependant, sous l'influence des processus de globalisation, se dessinent les contours d'une nouvelle et intrigante architecture au sein de laquelle la superficialité et la neutralité ont acquis une signification particulière.

Summary:
This classic of prediction, written in 1969, has now been brought up-to-date, the prophecies judged, and the omens extended to 2030. The success rate of Jencks' forecasts and his method of combining expert prediction with structural analysis make this book an important contribution to the art of conjecture. Not only did he predict a series of innovations that have changed the world, such as the Internet, but he identified six main architectural traditions that continuously transform over time. This provides a method of gauging what are likely to be the future movements in architecture, a useful and fascinating tool for speculation.

Summary:
Déclarée en avril 1931, attaquée le 18 juillet 1936 par l'armée de Franco, écrasée le 28 mars 1939, la Seconde République espagnole fut brève mais l'idéologie républicaine a durablement influencé le développement moderne de la culture et notamment de l'architecture et de l'urbanisme. Cette période unique a ainsi permis l'éclosion de nombreux projets et réalisations dans tous les domaines de la construction, que ce soit les immeubles collectifs, les maisons individuelles, les infrastructures industrielles ou la réorganisation et l'extension de villes comme Barcelone et Madrid. Ce livre présente un panorama complet et illustré du travail de toute une génération d'architectes, replacé dans son contexte historique qui se caractérise principalement par une attitude progressiste tendant à combiner l'austérité formelle d'un paysage urbain rationalisé et une éthique civique, aspiration qui, comme tant d'autres, fut anéantie par la guerre civile. En annexe, les biographies de quarante architectes espagnols de la période.

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. For all the latest and most important architectural projects and trends, look no further than this volume, the follow-up to our popular and groundbreaking book Architecture Now!
