Summary:
This book engagingly describes and illustrates over 100 outstanding projects from around Britain that have contributed to the country's architectural rejuvenation in the twenty-first century. Landmark projects by well-known architects, such as Nicholas Grimshaw & Partners' Eden Project in Cornwall, Daniel Libeskind's Imperial War Museum North in Manchester and Foster and Partners' tower at 30 St Mary Axe in London, feature alongside the work of younger, smaller practices, including many based outside the capital. New Architecture in Britain makes a forceful contribution to the continuing debate about the role of architecture in forging a new environment and underpinning the growth of a healthy society.

Summary:
This work presents numerous buildings of architectural significance against the background of general developments in architecture with reference to the works of over 200 architects. Although this book covers the whole of Finland in geographical terms, the main focus is on the Helsinki Metropolitan Region where construction was more active. Alongside public building activities, such as administrative buildings, churches, hospitals, traffic terminals, and sports, cultural and educational facilities, there are numerous examples of architecture for business and industry. Housing development is discussed from whole suburbs and sections of cities to individual apartment buildings and summer villas. Most of the colour photographs of this illustrated book belong to the photographer Simo Rista's significant collection of transparencies, which the Museum of Finnish Architecture acquired in 2005.

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!

Summary:
Naturalizing Architecture is the new edition of Archilab 2013. Today, through recourse to the most advanced digital tools, architects envisage projects which evolve according to principals similar to those found in nature. The architecture is therefore designed like an organism in constant adaptation, with the ability to evolve in close interaction with the material conditions of its environment. Broadly exceeding the boundaries of their practice, architects now develop a practice at the crossroads of design, computer science, engineering and biology. Conditions for production in the domain of architecture are radically redefined by this convergence, as well as by the constant evolution of the processes and tools for digital manufacturing.

Summary:
Discipline ancrée dans l’histoire et le patrimoine humains, l’architecture ne peut rester muette face aux grands enjeux sociaux, démographiques et écologiques de notre temps. Loin d’une perspective eurocentrée et d’un discours soi-disant universaliste, les auteurs de cet ouvrage piochent dans l’histoire de leur discipline, dans la richesse de ses pratiques et dans les débats qui l’animent pour répondre aux questions actuelles d’adaptabilité, de flexibilité et d’inclusivité. Ce livre offre ainsi une perspective novatrice et indispensable sur une discipline millénaire, qui intéressera étudiants, enseignants et professionnels de l’architecture et de l’urbanisme, ainsi que toute personne qui se questionne sur le bâti, les villes et leurs usages.
