Summary:
The work of Bart Prince is recognized internationally for both its seminal creative vision and for carrying on an American tradition of individualism in architecture originating with Louis Sullivan, Frank Lloyd Wright, and Bruce Goff. Prince shares with these pioneers a fundamental way of thinking about modern American architecture, which in his work he has combined with a firm belief in the experiential impact of a building to render a contemporary style all his own. Originally published a decade ago, this updated version includes five new houses, demonstrating the architect’s maturing style and continued commitment to creating transcendent experiences in manipulated space. Stunning photographs and floor plans bring the reader as close as possible to experiencing these uniquely formed, magnificent buildings. A remarkable collaboration between the author, the photographer, and the architect, The Architecture of Bart Prince is the only comprehensive introduction to one of the most creative architects practicing in America today.

Oneplanetarchitecture is the design philosophy Thomas Rau, the founder and director of RAU, developed over the recent years. It implies a broad approach towards the building task taking into account the material and immaterial needs of users, the place, the society, and the planet earth.

Summary:
Architecture has a powerful role in nation building and identity formation. Buildings and monuments not only constitute the built fabric of society, they reflect the intersection of culture, politics, economics, and aesthetics as these forces are played out in distinct social settings and distinct times. This extraordinary anthology traces the interaction between culture and politics as reflected in Canadian architecture and the infrastructure of ordinary life, from the first contacts between indigenous peoples and European missionaries to the construction of big-box shopping centres in postmodern cities. Whether focusing on Jesuit perceptions of New France, the construction of Toronto’s St. James Cathedral or Canada’s first Parliament, Brutalism in Canadian architecture, or the ideas of Marshall McLuhan and Arthur Erickson, these essays showcase ways of thinking about the built environment that extend beyond considerations of authorship and style to address the influence of cultural politics and insights from race and gender studies and from postcolonial and spatial theory. By coupling a national focus with a wide historical scope, Architecture and the Canadian Fabric transforms how we see the role of architecture and in doing so radically questions how we continue to live in, interact with, and interpret the fabricated world.

Summary:
In an ever-changing world with its hybrid forms of living and working, this book presents a collection of remarkable and carefully selected container buildings. Invented in the 1950s by Malcom McLean, these plain steel boxes with corrugated profiles revolutionized the worldwide trade sector. Furthermore, these huge receptacles for storing and transporting cargo have found their way into architecture to become an essential part of global building culture. Ever more astonishing architectural applications and design experiments are based on these standardized, strictly geometrically conceived units. Their imaginatively designed shells are just as versatile as their use: sometimes with original, rough surfaces with traces of use that tell a story, sometimes with a curtain facade made of wood and large-scale glazing, or even as a purist composition with a sophisticated light installation.

Les années soixante-dix, l’effervescence du militantisme, le mouvement Mars 76 et la création du syndicat de l’architecture, le contre-concours des Halles, l’élaboration de logements sociaux avec la participation des habitants… Viennent ensuite les années Mitterrand, l’Institut du monde arabe et les grands projets issus de la décentralisation. Dix ans plus tard, le Parlement européen de Strasbourg annonce une mondialisation qui passera d’abord par la Chine et l’Asie avant d’atteindre le continent africain. L’ouverture d’une maison commune à Venise en 2010 ainsi que le scénario et le plan d’une ville verte pour le nouveau centre de Kaboul en Afghanistan marquent le point culminant de cette époque.

Summary:
Ralf Coussée and Klaas Goris. Over a period of twenty years, the two architects have built up a solid oeuvre. The proof can be found in this book, which offers a survey of the architecture of the due, both of works on paper and of designs that have been built. This book takes you on a guided tour of their work that is full of surprises. It shows you why Coussée & Goris do not strive inflexibly for an absolute, radical Modernist renewal, but to let old and new flow into one another harmoniously. You discover an oeuvre that is evidence of an architecture with a style of its own, based on an intriguing play of patterns, themes and constructional methods, and that at the same time reveals the 'thinking in doing' of architecture. You learn how remote their work is from doctrines, manifestos and concepts that alienate the design process from the architectural traditions of making and building. This book is more than just a monograph. It is a real architects' book, like an artist's book. After all, the architecture of Coussée & Goris should not be read as a series of individual buildings, but as an imaginary landscape, a capriccio, in which the principles are made visible of an architecture that inscribes itself in a contemporary framework. To understand the working and scenographic force of the landscape as the supporting element in the architecture of Coussée & Goris, the architecture theoretician Koen Van Synghel confronts pairs of designs: the master plan for the Jeugd- en Natuurdomein De Hoge Rielen, the reconversion of an industrial transformer complex near Kortrijk into a multifunctional urban landscape, the building of a factory shed in Roeselare, the conversion of a furniture store into a school of architecture in Brussels, and the award-winning submission for a crematorium in Hofheide. The art and poetry from which the artists draw their inspiration have forced their way into this book, show the world behind the designs, and make this publication unique.

Summary:
An important critic of modern culture, American economist Thorstein Veblen is best known for the concept of "conspicuous consumption," the ostentatious and wasteful display of goods in the service of social status—a term he coined in his 1899 classic "The Theory of the Leisure Class". In the field of architectural history, scholars have employed Veblen in support of a wide range of arguments about modern architecture, but never has he attracted a comprehensive and critical treatment from the viewpoint of architectural history. In "Barbarian architecture", Joanna Merwood-Salisbury corrects this omission by reexamining Veblen's famous book as an original theory of modernity and situating it in a particular place and time—Chicago in the 1890s.

Cette constatation toute simple est cependant le point de départ d'une large réflexion sur l'organisation de l'espace, aussi bien architectural qu'urbanistique. Elle est aussi le moyen d'une mise en lumière de correspondances dans l'histoire avec les idées philosophiques et les connaissances scientifiques du moment. Les matrices génératives que sont le mégaron et le labyrinthe correspondant aux deux natures de l'architecture, ont depuis toujours constitué l'essence même des espaces, et leur mise en valeur éclaire d'un jour nouveau non seulement l'histoire de l'art, mais donne aussi une clé de compréhension des créations du monde contemporain. Cette assertion d'une bipolarité de l'architecture et de l'urbanisme, avec d'un côté le simple et de l'autre le complexe, loin d'être réductrice, ouvre la porte à de multiples niveaux de compréhension.

Advances in the composition, fabrication and application of materials allows for the creation of structures and forms that were unthinkable just a few decades ago. This volume contains chapters that display residences constructed using materials like metal, glass, wood, stone or concrete. The singularity of these homes is marked by the predominant use of one material, which in turn is linked with the original concept of the house.
